Avocado Arts ~ more, more, more!!!

Hi everyone ~ I have playing with Perfect Blend by Avocado Arts.   I used some JBS paper and made a coffee clip.  The Avocado Arts stamp set is so perfect for this project. What a  great gift this would make!!!!!! 

Just clip it to your favorite coffee and your gift is ready to give.

 
Here is the back view~

 
And here is a layout showing how easy these stamps are to use for scrapbooking.  I had such a fun time using them!!  They stamp beautifully!!!!


Thanks for stopping by today and I invite you to take a look at the Avocado Arts
store.  See ya soon~

New life for a brief case~

Doing a little {just a little] cleaning out and found this WAY cool brief case that my father-in-law had given  to my husband ~he thought it would help keep my hubby organized not !!

Anyway hubby never used it and it is really cool.  So I decided to use it for my ephemera !!!  I'm sure glad I'm not speaking that word ~ always gives me trouble :):):)  Why can't we just say old stuff~

  Cool file folders in the top~perfect!!!!  Did you notice it has snap to keep the old stuff in the folders?

 Nice and roomy too!!!

Love using vintage in my studio to organize!!!!

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

Re-purpose project and layout with JBS!!


Hi everyone, I'm setting up blog posts because I'll be taking a week off for the holidays.  This is some JBS work that I did that you can see more in detail HERE!!!  I used the new line Boy meets Girl.  So cute!!!!


I love to alter old stuff and make it useful again. So much of it has so much character, just like this vintage album page.

This is a clock face that was altered into {what I call } a wisdon board. Just little things I would like to talk to my grands about!!! :):) A reminder for me~
You can see this blog post HERE!!!
