Party Time with Vintage Street Market~

Hi everyone!  This is the rest of my first post for Vintage Street Market!!! I used Party Games paper set and and black Twirly Twine. I had in mind that these tags could be put on a gift or goody bag and then used as a book marker.

The center embellishments are by Epiphany Crafts.

These are the party favors  I made using the packaging from this tacky tape~

Everything is glued with Helmar 450 Quick Dry.  I had a stack of these that I had saved but really you could use any container of this type to make candy or toy party favors.  Prima has some good ones that would make super cute party favors!! Take a good look before you toss you never know what you can make!!

Thanks for stopping in today. I have some cool junkin' stuff to show you just have to get it photographed.

See ya soon!!

Try It Tuesday~Vintage Bingo Cards!!!

Remember these~first let me say I should have bought more than three**sigh**but I didn't!

So I'm going to show you the two I have worked up~still have one plain one left.

This one was done using Epiphany Crafts bubble cap round 25, some felt for the flowers, old dictionary paper, Jenni Bowlin butterfly, journal card and label.  The stamp is by Unity.  Helmar 450 Quick Dry held it all together!!

The pictures are pretty goofy but I liked that~perfect for this project!!!

Here is the second one done for Vintage Street Market~

This one is done using Vintage Street Market products and Helmar 450 Quick Dry!!! Vintage Street Market has really cute bingo cards out ~ the small orange one on the left is just one of fourteen in a pack.

And here is a close up of the front embellishments!

I really love the back~I was able to keep the history of the Bingo card and have a perfect place for my journal card.  I did both of them this way!  Thanks for stopping by and I will see ya soon!!

A flash card goody~

Hi guys { I mean gals} here is the project I was telling you about in my last blog post.  This is a word flash card that I got on a blog win {JBS~Lisa Dickinson}and I thought it was so cool!!!  The flowers are made from Tim Holtz's glassine paper and Perfect Pearls {use the heat gun to emboss the Perfect Pearls into the flower}.  Use several different colors for a cool look.

I used Prima flowers and Helmar 450 Quick Dry to glue all the flowers and buttons on.

The journaling is tucked away in the glassine envelope.  After I display this project I will put it in a page protector and add it to my photo album.  I'm on the look out for more word flash cards!!!

I have been out of town and will visit blogs tomorrow~the Spurs play tonight and I can't miss it:):):) Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like this project!!!

See Ya Soon

More Graphic45 and Helmar~

Hi everyone~this is a fun little project and would make great teacher gifts!!  I used  Graphic45 paper and used a template of a round scallop design, traced that on the back of the pattern paper, cut it out and then cut the round scallop paper in half.  That will make two  envelope holders.

I decorated the fronts and added a little decoration to the top of the notepad and it was ready to slip into the envelope holder.  I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry to adhere to the front of the envelope holder.

Hope you enjoyed this project ~ great gift idea!!! Thanks for stopping by and I'll see ya soon with another really cool project.  If you have any word flash cards~save them. Thats what you need for the next project!! Have a good one!!

My first blog post is up over on Vintage Street Market~would love for you to stop in!!!!

Pocket folder using Graphic45 and Helmar~

Hi everyone~this is two sheets of cardstock type paper glued on three sides to make a folder~opening at the top.  I used Graphic45 and some Kraft cardstock to make this one.  It is glued with Helmar 450 Quick Dry!!  Next you will see why I made it this way~

Bottom half close up~

My son gave my husband a box full of candies from the 60's as a gag gift. Him and I both remembered the candies and of course have our favorites, so I wanted to save the wrappers.  That is where the folder comes in~

Just pull out the two 6" X 10" cardstock files and you have the labels to see!!  I also used Tim Holtz, twine, buttons, American Craft's thickers and several different border punches.

*********************************************************

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.

***********************************************************************

Here are a few more sites that have either a sketch or a contest~

D's Paper Studio ~ contest !!

Recycle Craft~making paper!!!

Hi everyone!!! Coming off a birthday weekend.  My youngest son and his family came for the weekend.  We had a wonderful time~

This came in the mail a few days ago and I have been ready to try my hand at paper making.  It is recycling and that appeals to me and the papers will look so cool on cards and my scrapbooking layouts.  I also ordered Acid Phree which makes your recycled paper acid free by neutralizing the acid in the recycled paper.

I also ordered some gold, copper, silver flakes to add along with some botanicals.  I got kinda of crazy and ordered the paper press too.  I can press my own flowers and on a good rain year we have beautiful wildflowers!

I need some nice sunny days and I'm gonna start making some paper~you will be the first to see it!!!!

Here is the site: Paper Alice ~ she is super nice and will be glad to help you.  I am not getting any compensation for this blog post. I just wanted to share with you a great site!!!
