Wee Little St. Patty's Day ATC's

Image
By
Today I have a few St. Patrick's Day ATC's to share with you....










They were all made using various pattern papers, textured cardstock, paper borders, washi tape and dew drops.  All of the images are from the Altered Pages collage sheet Erin Go Bragh.



 

And my organization idea for today is two words...cigar boxes!  Yep, I love all things vintage so why not use something vintage for storage as well.  Whenever I'm at garage sales, flea markets, auctions, etc I always snatch up vintage cigar boxes and use them when I need a bit of storage.
I don't put labels directly on the boxes (after all they are vintage!) so I make up little hang labels that get tucked inside the edge of the box.  I can change them as needed and I always know immediately what's stored in each box.

    Adorable ATCs! Great idea on using cigar boxes to store stuff in and you can change the labels if you store something different in them.

 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.

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!
