Ok ladies here is the how to video and what not! Enjoy. Bascially, the other day I spent a day obsessing about how I have to HAVE a K&C Company SMASH book. I began to add up how much it was going to cost me to get everything I knew I HAD TO HAVE!!! hahahah You all don't know what I'm talking about at all do you! hee hee. Well after a bit of soul searching I figured it would be insane for me to spend as much as I would have... soooo I decided to try to make my own! Turned out much better and personal to me than I believe the smash book would have. I played around with it last night.. and OMG... LOOOOOVE IT! Check it out! Let me know what you think! Here is the link.

Motivation Monday
Alrighty ladies here are some layout from this past weekend. Hope they strike you in all the right ways. I had fun playing around with both of them. the second one is one of my 15 minute layouts! Super easy and fast!
 |
| "She" Layout. I had a lot of fun playing with this layout. Items: Tim Holtz: rose trim and toke n, Webster pages: journaling items, paper, kaiser Kraft: dress form, Prima: felt gate, stitched letters, flower, bling, leaves, Maya Road leaf stick pin, Jenni Bowlin: butterfly, tattered angel mist, Petaloo flower, helmar adhesive, MISC: lace stick pin, charm, hymnal music sheet. |
 |
| Loved playing with all of these pieces! |
 |
| Love love love dress forms!!! and I've had these darn Prima felt gates that I fell in love with but never used! Also I adore this Tim Holtz trim. It was white and I played with it! I adore it! |
 |
| "This is what life looks like" layout. I loved playing with this layout.. haha you'll notice the blob like corner piece on once of the pictures. Story behind this is while I was playing with helmar adhesives and other things to do with them.. sooo was my daughter and I promised her whatever she made could be on the layout.. hahah.. the photo corner is what she came up with! |
 |
| I did some stitching along the title piece. |
 |
| My daughters creation... hahaha kinda neat actually! |
 |
| I used some of my embossed canvas here.. love it! To see this techniques look at a few older posts and you can find the how to's of embossing it! |

Helmar Gemstone Glue
Ok, ladies its no shock to anyone but I'm in love with Helmar Adhesive. I will state for the record.. I'm not endorsed and get nothing from them.. hee hee I state this that way you know I am not giving them a plug in the blog b/c they are endorsing me or something... lol. I JUST LOVE THEM!!!
You can find where their sold on my page.. just scroll down! And you can find them on facebook for lots of great tutorials!
I use their adhesive as it's meant to be used as well as in my own creative ways! of course everyone knows how much I adore glue and making it do things it's not really meant for.
So, here is a little tutorial. Super short and as always! Cause I know with kids, housework and jobs we don't all have an hour to watch and learn something new to use on all your craft projects. Click the link or read and follwo the pictures. Thanks ladies!
 |
| You will need: rhinestone flourish, Helmar's Rhinestone adhesive, a piece of acetate or as I used a piece of packaging, and glitter or flocking powder. |
 |
| Take a Rhinestone flourish and a piece of acetate. Lay the acetate over the rhinestone piece. Then use the rhinestone glue.. which comes out white but will dry clear. Apply it as you like it. I did a portion of the flourish. Then sprinkle glitter on it and skake off excess. And you have a beauitful glittered flourish. This will also work with flocking power! |
 |
| You can also do this free hand on a piece of paper. here I doodled out a little flourish with Helmar's gemstone adhesive. Again it will coem out white but will dry clear! I promise! Doodle and the cover in glitter or flocking powder. |
 |
| Cover all of the doodle in adhesive! |
 |
| Shake off all adhesive! Here you have it! Soo pretty! Enjoy! |
