Vintage Hawaii

By
ALOHA!

My heart will always have a soft spot for the State of Hawaii.  As a little girl I always wanted to live in Hawaii.  I would draw beaches with palm trees and day dream about it.  As an adult my dream came true. I went on a week vacation, it was one of the best times of my life.  Six months later I was living my dream!  I moved to Hawaii, I stayed on the Islands for six wonderful years!

At the end of June I left you with an unfinished Vintage Hawaii Altered Pocket Page! 

 
 

It started with papers from Graphic 45's Bohemian Bazaar Postcards and images from  Altered Pages Collage Sheet - Vintage Hawaiiana!
The page at the end of June still needed a few embellishments: Dew Drops, banner flags and ribbons. 

 
 
 
 
 
I have added the banners with Dew Drops and ribbons to the page.  A little sailboat charm above "ALOHA" and few more shells here and there.

Below are the before and after pictures...

 
 
Supplies:
Bohemian Bazaar Postcards
Sea Shells
Altered Pages Collage Sheet - Vintage Hawaiiana
Protector Pages
Dew Drops
Ribbon
Sailboat charm (From Mailbox Muse Kit - Mermaid Fantasy)
Stickers from my Stash
 
ALOHA until tomorrow!

 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

By
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!
