Kit creation #3!

here's another! its a journal. Thought i'd throw in an altered item to change it up a bit.
I cut out the surf boards from the strip patterned paper, and arranged them to form a flower. I also smashed the bottle cap with a hammer, which was easy and really effective!
I was excited to find in an old poetry book a poem that is actually ABOUT gratitude, which is the subject of my journal. One thing that i discovered is that when dealing with an old brittle book, it is really easy to tear the pages, so keep the distressing to a minimum!

a Target find...

I picked these up in the $1 section at Target to go with the papers that I pre-ordered from SX. October Afternoon Night Light! Don't you think they'll look cute together (except the purple one, he doesn't match well)?

You can pre-order this line from SX here:

Here's the second installment of "What Rebecca made with her kit" :-)



I loved working on this layout. I remember when i took these pictures. I was trying really hard to capture Leif completely COVERED in sand. This Scenic Route line was PERFECT for what i was hoping to capture, that being Leif's brute manliness. :-)

PS. Don't forget about the ROCKING sale in the shop right now!!! Its only good through tomorrow, so hurry!!

New page from my kit!

Technique: Using Adhesive Rub-ons

Here's a step by step tutorial on using the We R Memory Keepers Adhesive Rub-ons with Glitter :)

These are VERY fun and easy to use. WAY easier then using the loose glitter (and WAY WAY less messy!!).

Step 1 - Choose your letters and cut them out of the backing sheet

Step 2 - Place your letters on the paper and rub them as you normally would do any other rub-ons (make sure they are COMPLETELY transferred because if they aren't the glue will stretch (but these rub-on easily, it shouldn't be a problem)). Remove the backing sheet but BE CAREFUL NOT TO LET ANYTHING TOUCH THE RUB-ONS (they are sticky!!!)

Step 3 - Choose your 'topping' (Foil, Flocking, or Glitter). I chose glitter.

Step 4 - Place your topping sheet over the rub-ons that you already rubbed-on and rub-on again.

Step 5 - Enjoy! These are VERY easy and virtually NO MESS!!

Please share ANY projects using these!! I'd love to see them!!

Technique: Stamping on flowers

I discovered this fun technique this week, and sadly i do NOT remember WHERE i found it, but anyway, the technique is stamping on a flower. I used one of those giant Heidi swapp flowers. its layered over a metal frame and crate paper brand paper, to make a trifold card. I think this technique is pretty failsafe... just stamp all over it! fun stuff :-)
