Sum-sum, Sum-Sum, Sum-sum, Summertime!

Hi there!

Becky here today to share a simple little summer project with a mason jar!

I cut out an image from the "Lovely Ladies" collage sheet & colored their skin with a flesh colored Copic marker. I then glued them onto a piece of blue cardstock from the Glitz "Lace & Grace" 8x8 paper pad, & then glued that onto a piece of sea horse paper from the Graphic 45 "Boardwalk" collection. Then, I simply slipped the paper into the mason jar, filled it with fine sand & some sea shells from a recent beach vacation! I might add a quote along the lid of the jar later...something like this: "One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few." Ann Morrow Lindbergh

That's it for now!

Hope you're enjoying your summertime!

Thanks for stopping by!

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!
