New Merry Christmas Flip Album

Hi


Getting ready for the Holidays.  Just finished this adorable flip style cascading photo album last night.  This album measures 41/2 by 81/2 and has tons of real estate for photos.  This album is soooo pretty in person - the photos never do it justice. 


Posted just now on my Kitsnbitscraps Etsy Store

New Envelope Christmas Album

Hi -


So I am leaving for Thanksgiving for several days and I wanted to post and make certain albums that have been floating around in my head.  Do you do that?  I get ideas for pages and/or albums and start creating them in my head before I get to work on them.  Anyway here is another album I finished for Christmas


Posted today on my Etsy Store Kitsnbitscraps

I LOVE CHRISTMAS

I am continuing the week with more Christmas albums.  I also have a cute "home" album with stack the deck that I started.  Stay tuned to my blog and Etsy Store Kitsnbitscraps

Thank you,

Happy Scrapping

Happy Mother's Day

Hope all the mom's out there have a very Happy Mother's Day

Bookmark with Helmar

Hi Everyone, today my Mother's Day Gift (Bookmark) is being featured over at the Helmar Blog so please go on over for more photos and process.

My family and I are avid readers so I wanted to make a cute bookmark for my daughter.   This particular bookmark is for my daughter's Midori Bullet journals.


I used Helmar's Fabric glue on the felt, beads and buttons knowing that it's great for adhering.  I also used the Helmar Silicon Sealant for gluing the felt flower arrangement to my 7 Gypsies rubber band.

This was an easy and fun project and I plan on making more bookmarks.  You can also go to a fabric store and buy some elastic instead of using a rubber band.

Thank you for stopping by and please go by the Helmar blog and check out my featured Mother's Day Gift Bookmark.

Happy Scrapping ...

Decorating for Christmas with Helmar

Hi, the Holidays are in full swing and I got with the program and made this cute door hanger for my guest room to welcome family.

This cute door hanger is featured over at the Helmar blog today, please go on over and say hello. Also my design team mates are getting very creative this month so you will want to browse for ideas.

For this project I chose two specific adhesives from Helmar

Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

Helmar Tacky Craft Glue

To make this project I started off with a wood plaque I bought at Michaels.  I then painted it white with acrylic paint and put down a layer of gesso using my crafter's workshop swirl stencil

I then used Helmar's 450 quick dry to adhere my paper, cheesecloth, chipboard and transparencies.  I used it because it dries very quickly and once dry will not come off.  Its good for adhering to gesso like below, wood, heavy items

Next I used the Tacky Craft glue because I needed a thick dry clear glue for my beads and glitter.  This glue allows me to embed the beads and add more layers to give it full coverage

Thank you for stopping by today, I wish you all the best this Christmas

My Pumpkin Table Decor and Helmar

Hi, it's my turn over at Helmar today and I created some cute home décor pieces.  I am lucky enough to have a Home Goods and a Joanne's right next to each other so I did a little shopping.  I bought the paper-mache pumpkin at Joanne's and the adorable square all wood pumpkin at Home Décor. 

I decided to decorate them using Helmar's Decoupage and also Crystal Kote Gloss Varnish.
They look great on my dining room table and especially when my family dropped by.

Below are some photos of my process but for more extensive photos please go on over to the Helmar blog today and take a look at my post.  Let me know what you think.
