Junkin' and Jenni~

Love this picture~talk about one excited little girl!!!!! Yep, she caught her first fish.  Before the end of the day she caught another one, so she is a pro!!!! Glad I was there to get this picture of her and her "grandy" and the fish!!!!  I used Jenni Bowlin Studios/Wren and the new Kraft papers that she has out!!!! Super cool and fun!!! I didn't take my standard close-up pic~ so let's move on to JUNKIN'

These are really hard to find and if you do they are more than I want to pay.  I got these View Master reels for $4.  Super excited!!!!  The lady told me, China was buying up all they could find, really?

I thought this was pretty cool~$2 worth of cool.  When I was on Helmar's DT Faber Castell partnered with Helmar and the team got products from them so....... they don't come like this anymore, cardboard and plastic is how they come now,  so I thought this was cool.  This is metal snap down box that holds the sketch pencils.

Try It Tuesday~ Wren goodness!!!

Glad I'm back to Try It Tuesday~you were missed!!!!  This is a set of three projects that were featured on Scrap News and Review {on line magazine} a few days ago.  If you missed the article you can go HERE to see it.:)  There was even a sneak peek on Jenni Bowlin Studios { the Inspiration blog} also.  It is HERE.  I used the new line Wren ~I know before I get these next words out of my mouth, some of you are going to say~you say that every time, I know but this is, really, really my favorite paper line. OK it's out , believe it or not:):)  You can't really see but I used some JBS new screens on the back{Ashli, are you so proud}~loving the die cut Kraft papers also. Two of the sweetest boys ever in that pic!!!

The card is made from the scraps from the layout.  I spritzed it  and added some trim.

On these magnets I used JBS tart tins, all three Tim Holtz Rosette dies and the Wren {bird dictionary paper}in the set.  The birds are beautiful to cut out and use them to embellish.

Thanks for stopping by today!!! I had a really exciting thing happen, when I get it I will take a picture and show you. Yep I won something!!!  For those that know me well, { you will be saying~OMG!!!}

See ya soon!!!!! I know what a tease, right!!!

Junkin'~blank milk caps!

Hi everyone~yes it's a junkin' post.  Aren't these pretty?  Milk caps that wrap around the top of the bottle. I'm sure some kind of machine does it so it is sanitary.  I thought they were pretty cool!!!

This is what was in the bag that I paid $1 for.  There were some pens and pencils too, but this is what I was interested in.  Not to many printed ones but lots of milk cap blanks.  I love blanks, let me show you why~

I have a stamp set by Maya Road that is a milk cap, dates and days.  I have had it long before I started collecting milk caps~love how things work out sometimes.  Any way I stamped these blanks up so you can see how cute they are, just as cute as the old ones.

I used black StazOn ink and rusty brown for the days.  I wish I had red, but no red here.

The milk caps dry fast and no time to stamp them. I'm going to give this set to one lucky blog follower just email me your addy {I love doing quick fun little give-a-aways, for my blog followers}, USA only. Don't post addy in the comments:):):)  Yep thats a hint I might give more than one set away~just let me know if you would use them in a project.

Have a great Monday and I'll see ya soon!!!!

Darkroom Door/Collage Stamp ~Friends

Hello Saturday!!!  This is a quick post ~ I made these cards the other night with a new stamp by Darkroom Door.  I love it!!! It has that vintage feel ~ so sweet!!!!!

The name of the stamp is Collage Stamp/Friends.  I stamped this one with brown ink and decorated using Jenni Bowlin, Prima, Lawn Fawn twine and the fabulous labels are by October Afternoon.

This one is stamped with sepia ink and the same embellishments!

A re-do with Magpie and Haven~

Hi everyone!! Hoping you are having a good week.  I have really been busy and it has not been "crafty" busy either:):) I'll have to tell ya about it sometime~

This is another layout I did for the JBS crop a couple of weekends ago.  The funny thing is I was doing layouts so fast and then moving to the next challenge.  When I stopped and looked at this one I decided it needed a re-do.  You are seeing the re-do. 

Pinwheels are very trendy right now and they are easy and fun to make besides looking fantastic on a layout.  Here is link for a tutorial on how to make them HERE. OK here is the before the re-do picture~

Yep greatly improved in my opinion:):) I used Magpie and Haven on this one.  All products are Jenni Bowlin Studios { cause it was her crop:):):)}

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

This afternoon I'm to be featured on Scrap News and Review.  It will be on the front page of the magazine and visible to everyone.  Jenni Bowlin Studios will be running a sneak peek on their blog also.  I used the fabulous WREN line.  I hope it goes off as planned:):):) and I hope you take a look {if not I will post a link tomorrow}  I'm teaching today at Craft Crossing ~I'll see ya soon!!!

A little bit of JBS/Haven~

Hi everyone~thanks for stopping by yesterday and I loved your sweet comments on my scrappy space!!!

Today I'm showing you another layout I did for the Jenni Bowlin online crop a few weeks ago.  This one is using Haven.  Love the butterflies and the polka dot paper together.

One of my favorite thing to do is cut the ends off the photos making them look like photo strip~if you notice I have been doing that a lot lately~maybe it is a phase I'm going through:):):)

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