Try It Tuesday~re-purpose!!!!

 

Isn't this the cutest glass divided box!! It was to hold  two desks of playing cards in!!! I just got to looking at it and wondered if maybe, just maybe the Jenni Bowlin mini decks would fit in it~

 

and that would be a YES!!!! I have them all, right at my finger tips in a vintage glass box!!!  All I need to do is fill it up and that is easy:):)

 

I love using vintage pieces in my studio for organizing and storage~just makes me happy!!!

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

 

The new and fabulous Modern Mercantile papers came in at Craft Crossing and I have a set in my hot little hands!!! It is even better in real life!!!! The colors are gorgeous together!!!!! To see more of Jenni Bowlin's new products go to the Craft Crossing blog HERE.

 

See ya soon!!!

I "heart" cookie cutters ~ many junkin' trips!!!

 

I have been collecting for as long as I can remember.  This is my vintage cookie cutters.  I have used them for all sorts of decorating but the way I like them the best is in an old enamelware pan, all together!!! The ones with the homespun material tied on have been on my Christmas tree.  I have even put a photo in one and made into a frame. You can see that HERE~

These are some heart "cutter" sets.  The brown lid set I bought when my boys were small. the date is still on the price tag~1984 :):) makes me smile!!!!

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

I wanted to share with a new weekly "vintage " deal over on Vintage Street Market's blog~

See ya tomorrow for Try It Tuesday!!!!

Remember this~junkin' post!!!!

 Hi guys~I've had Internet problems of the worst kind~hopefully it is fixed!!!!

I picked these pieces up in different places and at different times. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do but I did want to make a cloche.  Not sure if the glass dome is a candle holder but I turned it upside down and glued ( Helmar's Craft Glue) a vintage drawer pull to the top~making it a cloche!!

 

The pottery dish I found in Indiana at a resale shop. Love the blue floral pattern.  The pool ball showcasing my favorite number "5" is sitting on a small birds nest I found blowing around in our yard.  It fit perfect in the bottom of the pottery bowl!

 

Sweet!!!!

The Alamo~with JBS!!!!

 

Hi guys~I have been busy getting stuff done. I love crossing things off my list.   This is another of the layouts I did for the Donkey Kong game over on the JBS forum.  Love the JBS typewriter stamp and the feathers:):):) ~I like that you can bend them into place or the direction you want~nice!!!

 

We were having a family outing with my youngest son and his family, the day after Christmas.  We have been in this area for 8 years and have only visited The Alamo one other time.  I enjoyed it so much!!!!  

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

I have some super exciting news to share soon ~like next month!!  Maybe sooner~I hope so!!! Thanks for stopping by~

This type of project will make a great gift or addition to your kitchen (organizing all those recipes) we all are loving from Piniterest!!!! Here is a look at the inside cards~

Winter boy hair ~ with JBS!!!

 

Hi guys~hope you had a great weekend and your team won the Super Bowl!!!! I went to a Spurs game  and {we won} and had a great time with my hubby.

Jenni Bowlin is having a Donkey Kong game on the JBS Forum.  You can find out about it here!!!

 

This is one of my layouts I did for the game.  I made a kit up similar to the JBS monthly kit and worked it up to see how many projects, cards, tags or layouts I could get from it!!!  I will be showing you this week what all I made from my kit!!  I used all JBS and most of these products are in the  JBS Mercantile !!!

When I was working on this layout, I pulled grey letters for my kit but really wanted black letters for this layout so I did this~

 

Love, love a good Sharpie!!!!!

Also I'm up over on Darkroom Door today:):):)
