Our Summer Vacation!

Do remember going through your mom's old photo albums?  The old scrapbook type on black paper... with white writing?  Well today I am recreating one of the old books.  Here are the pages of my album.  I will share the cover in a later post!

A vintage scrapbook I found in a box I bought at auction a few years back.

    Adorable, takes me back to childhood times sitting and looking at old photos with my Mom. She still treasures hers. All good memories to cherish. GREAT JOB!

    Ah, memories! I used to make these black page scrapbooks when I was a kid. They were always so much fun. I love the retro feel of this book!!

 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!
