Remember this~View Master reels!

Remember I paid $4 for all of these ~woot!!!!!!!   Well this is how I used two of the reels~

The paper is by Pink Paislee.  I love the different shades of green in this set. They look so pleasing to my eye:):).  Well if you didn't know green is my favorite color:):)  You probably new though~

To make the award badge I stapled all the die cuts together with Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher and then glued the View Master reel on top to give the appearance of an award!!! Love making those~

Helmar 450 quick Dry works great for that!!

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see ya soon!!!!

Vintage Street Market~more girls!!!

Hi everyone ~ one of my favorite paper packs by Vintage Street Market is Family Fun!!

The kid images are super fun and look fantastic on all kinds of projects.

Here is another layout done with the same paper pack.  My granddaughter snagged my camera and was taking all kinds of pictures, mostly of her dolls.  The camera image is a rubber stamp by Darkroom Door.

I have lots of big buttons and I rarely use them but I still love them~I decorated this old gum ball machine, which belonged to my boys, when they were small, to hold my large buttons.  I used the Family Fun paper pack also.  The flowers are by Prima.  I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry to do the gluing.

You can find my post HERE ~would love for you to stop in!!!!

Try It Tuesday~Pinterest lift!!!!

I first saw these Dictionary Necklaces on Pinterest ~ I thought I can make those~well I didn't have a dictionary that I was willing to cut up but I did have an Encyclopedia, that will work!!!  These are done using Epiphany Crafts bubble caps 25 round and square with their setting charms. The brown one is a baby buggy {super cute}!!!!

I had two different ways to make them ~ first the glass tiles that you use Glossy Accents on to adhere the paper to the glass tiles and Epiphany Crafts.  I had both sets of supplies so I made them two different ways and loved how they both came out!!!

Glossy Accents and the glass tile version~

Not only did I use the words, I used the glossy pictures also.  I wrote artist on this one~

And there you have it.  Very fun to make!!!

Scrappy news coming soon!!

Biker dudes and Pink Paislee~

Hi everyone, hope you had a great weekend.  I got to do some scrapbooking on Saturday (and one junk store) ~ so I got six layouts done!!! So happy about that. I always feel like I'm behind (and I am) ...

I used Pink Paislee/Hometown Summer on these two ~

I love all of the matching embellishments with this set.  The borders are fantastic.  I cut them up all different ways.  You'll see all of my layouts this week:):)

Here is one~loving the black and yellow together. Always a great combination. I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry when gluing down the embellishments.

I was trying talk computer talk:) ~ at you smiling!  and I know you are thinking ~ wow, great lookin' kids, yes they are and all so sweet!!!!

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

Have a great Monday and come back for Try It Tuesday!!! See ya soon~

Stick pins and buttons~storage solution~

I know you want to say~well that is great but how you going to keep track of the buttons and pins~that is keeping them together.  Well what about this~

The buttons were still wet last night so that is why I'm posting today. I did add a picture of the buttons on top to yesterdays post , so it is all there.  Start to finish!

Have a great weekend and I'll see ya soon.   I have a really fun Try It Tuesday!!

******so come back:):)******

Pins and buttons ~ colored with Tim Holtz's alcohol ink

Hi everyone~it all started with this idea.  I thought I would make some more colored pins, using the Tim Holtz alcohol inks and then it hit me.......why don't you color some buttons and then they will match when you use them on a layout or card.  So I did~

So I have my supplies out and ready, taking the lid off the ink with the mini needle nose pliers.

Three buttons done.  The ink dries fast. I found a Q-tip works better than painting the ink on with a paint brush.  It went on more even and faster.

Using the paint brush on the blue ~

The pins are turning out so cool and the buttons are matching~

Loving how the pins came out~I bought these pins from Hydrangea Hippo.

and this is how I will keep them together~I know you where all thinkin' that :):)

Well there you have what I did this evening {beside 2 loads of laundry and dishes}.  Hope you enjoy this and see how great the buttons took the ink~worked great!!!
