Memory Keeper Book

I created this little book to keep smaller pictures in. Little notes can be written along side the pictures to keep those special memories, too. The front cover is made using the 6" x 6" Vintage Blue Paper Pad by Glitz. I made a rosette using the the butterfly paper from the 8 x 8 Glitz Paper Pad and added the yellow ribbon and gorgeous butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies (AP-1056) Collage Sheet from Altered Pages.

Now for a little tip...I didn't have a brad in a color that I liked to go with the papers I had chosen so I mixed up some of the new Terri Sproul Mixers sold at Altered Pages and painted the tops of the brads to match my book. Isn't that a fun idea?

This summer have some fun and create several of these little books to put small pictures and mementos in. They make a great place to put those smaller school pictures in, too! Write a little message on each page and give it to someone special. The uses for this are unlimited.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
