Helmar~my last post!

Hi everyone!! I wanted to share my last Helmar blog post.  I had such a fun time working with Buttons Galore and More. Anytime I get to play with buttons~I love it!!!  I made a button garland and some button cards~so fun!!

and then I did a layout of our wildflowers this year, using Susiebee Studios pattern papers.  These papers were perfect for showcasing the Texas wildflowers of 2012.

I also used some Prima flowers, Canvas Corp and Tattered Angels mists. I had just purchased a "I {heart} wildflowers" stamp by Texana Designs ** swoon** love it!!

and I used the awesome, fabulous, star of Helmar~450 Quick Dry to adhere all of these creations together!!! Have a great Monday, I'm going to try!! See ya soon~

Try It Tuesday~Sketches!!!

Hi everyone~It is that time again for Try It Tuesday!!!  I thought we would talk about sketches~so many sites have sketches on their blog, you should never be out of sketch places to go.  I thought I would post some places that I know:

First up is Helmar's sketch of the month.  It is by Lydell Quin

and my take on it~

I used paper by Susan B. Weckesser of Susie Bee Studio. I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry, Helmar's Zapdots and Helmar's Acid Free Glue.  The die cut paper is made by using my circle punch and punching out 2 inch circles and gluing them around the paper.
