more {fabulous} junkin' stuff~

Hi peeps!!!  I have been doing tons of junkin' and not alot of scrapbooking:):) ~ so you know what that means .... more junkin' pics!!! I hope you don't mind. I will have a fabulous post up for Try It Tuesday~promise!!!  I would love to know about how you would use these vintage goodies in your scrapbooking and art ~ do tell!

These are a great find but I ordered then online~really!!!

Old labels, marbles { this was an advertising peice for Nations Insurance Co.} I paid $3.thought that was fair.  Don't you love the Dad's Rootbear label?



These are old Pharmacy bottle labels~cool right!! And there is some train ticket stubs too.

Loved the checks with the ELK!!! and the milk label with the cows on it.  Will look super with my ranch pic's!  Back to junkin ~ found this stuff over the weekend, locally I might add,  right under my nose~

The milk caps are for Chocolate Milk ( don't have any of those) from a local dairy in our area.  The Scrabble pieces are getting harder and harder to find at a good price. I paid $6 for all of these.  The door knob is flat and metal, it has been painted but again I have never seen one like this. I'm going to shine it up!

These little bowls are so cute~I don't really know if they are old or rare,  but for 50 cents they came home with me.  Thanks for putting up with me on these junkin' trips ~ I have to show them off!

Have a great day and see ya soon!

Junkin' finds~

Hi all~ here on my junkin' finds from last weekend.  The glass cover I have had for a few months and have never gotten around to filling it.  The baby shoes are new ~ so this for my sweet "grands"!!!!

This is what it looks like filled with vintage goodies!! So many possibilities on what to put in it, you can even change it it with holiday goodeis and so on~themes, birthdays!! 

Love the flash cards!!!!!

Sweet little Buster Browns!!!

These are really cool~I have a finished project done with these but can not show yet!!!!!

I'm going to hang art from this~still deciding if I want to re-wrap or leave it shabby~what do you think?

See ya soon!!!!!



More flowers~not done yet!!!!!

I love making these!!! I have a few to say the least!!!! I love wearing them on my sweaters and jackets and they look great on denim.  I use the Canvas Corp on these and just add centers to them.

These are the flowers I made for the last post {twine}~just get twine, yarn etc . and wrap around a Gluber{Cosmo Cricket} , starting in the center. You can paint them or leave them natural. The blue one, in this post, is made from some vintage yarn I found while on a junkin' trip.

One more idea is to use fabric gathered and adhere it to outside of the Canvas Corp. flower. I have made several like that and truly enjoy wearing them. Other products used were Jenni Bowlin and Prima .  I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry and Helmar Craft Glue~either one will work great!!!!  Have a great day today!!!

See ya soon!!

Try It Tuesday~more flowers!!!

I warned you Monday, a week full of flowers~the handmade kind.

The first one {green material} I used a cardboard circle about 2" and put Helmar 450 on it and twisted my material all around. I tucked the end under and put felt on the back of the cardboard.  The leaves are from Prima, the center is Jenni Bowlin and Prima {resin flowers}.  The ones the the right were done like this~

Kind of a knock off the Jillibean Soup ones.  I really like these and they were quick and easy using the Glubers by Cosmo Cricket.  Then I thought~what about painting them~

I did beige so I could try the Twinkling H2O's by Lumin Arte on them. 

Painting them worked great and so easy and quick!! 

And here you can see I added them on top of felt flowers I cut using my Sizzix dies.  The centers are Epiphany Crafts round 14 bubble cap, Jenni Bowlin's buttons and some felt leaves that I had.  Let me know what you think about these flowers!!!! See ya soon!!

Satin flowers with a twist~

Hi everyone ~ had a great weekend, did a little junkin' and that is always good for the soul.  I have been making flowers ~ all kinds so just so your not surprised that is what this weeks blog post will be on. Lets start with these~

I used satin material and cut circles with my Sizzix die, then I cut into the circle about an 1/8" .  This made a four petal flower.

You can't tell in this photo but when you put  the petal  on top of the flame to curl the edges {of the satin } it burns a bit to give it a cool shading effect.

After I curled all four petals I used my Tim Holtz tiny attacher and stapled the center and put a pearl in the middle of the flower. Here are some more pictures of the finished flowers.  I added some leaves by Prima also.

Beautiful but important than that they were fun to make!!!! Have a great Monday and I'll see ya soon!!

Vintage Street Market~

Hi everyone!! The weekend  is here~I'm going to go have lunch with a special friend and hoping to get some junkin' in too!!! This one I did using Vintage Street Market products. I love the Tinted Tape{ numbers}~so many things you can do with it!!!

Here is a close up ~ love the Tim Holtz rosette die with the Vintage Street Market red shiny paper ~ so retro looking!!! The old milk cap worked well as a center.   CHA{Craft and Hobby Association} starts tomorrow so I have been staying close to the computor.  Keeping my fingers and toes crossed that some of my work will be displayed in Epiphany Crafts Booth!!! Helmar USA is there too.

Have a wonderful weekend and if you are on Face Book I will post updates to my wall on "new products"!!

Vintage Street Market tags~

Greetings~Hope everyone is doing great!!!! These are the tags I did for Vintage Street Market design team call.  The tags are on two cardstock so you lift up the overlay and there is a lined tag underneath for you to write your sentiments on.  These would look cool tied on a gift of given as the gift with a gift card attached underneath.  I used Helmar Craft glue to adhere all the goodies together!!!

Today I was over on Epiphany Craft's Blog and tomorrow over on Scrap Street. Hope to see you pop in.  See ya soon!!!
