Time in a Bottle

     Aloha, it's Gia ! If I could put time in a bottle, I would keep my youngest son five for another hundred years. But the summer has to come to an end and he has to go to kindergarten and all of my children have to keep growing and learning their own lessons in life. All I can do is be there for them and be their safety net, their comfort zone, a lighthouse when they are out there in dense fog and uncharted waters. That's why I make scrapbooks. To remember these moments of our lives. I even really put a little note in the bottle! 




Glitz Design paper layers are called layers for a reason- they are great for tucking in behind an edge. This one of the Hula Dancer is from the Happy Travels pack. This image tells me when this photo was taken we were living in Hawaii- although I usually sign and date my pages on the back.



The lovely scalloped papers you see here are from the Glitz Designs line called Uncharted Waters. I hope he will always know that whenever he feels lost, dreams can provide a map!


Collage images are a wonderful way to tell your story. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words! You can find the adorable little bottles here. How do you put time in a bottle with your art?

 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!
