BY THE BEAUTIFUL SEA

This is my last entry in Juliet’s journal, and off it went to Valeri.
This background is acrylic paints, with cheesecloth draped over the page whilst still wet.
I love those Parisian postcards, and was lucky to get a book of them from St.Jacobs market.

TISSUE ROLL BOOKLET

I made this tissue roll booklet for my sister’s birthday, filling the envie-like pages with tags and pics of her grandkids. Here is a sampling of the pages.
I got the idea from YouTube videos on this subject.

UHU GLUE PROJECT – FEBRUARY 2010

This is the February UHU glue project – A sweet star-shaped box to fill with more candy for St.Patrick’s Day.
I began by glueing the green paper along the side of the box, then spraying green and gold mica paints on the cover. I then painted the box top with crackle paint and when dry, added a bit more sparkle with clear glitter paint. I then took one of the foam clover leaf cutouts and stamped the sides of the box with black and gold paints. Boy, it sure is difficult to get a good pic of this box!! arghhh.
I glued three various shapes of the foam leaves plus the cute as ever ladybug piece, all together with the UHU Gluestick, then glued that to the top with the twist and glue. I am amazed at how well the foam pieces stuck together with the UHU gluestick.
Another fun project!

UHU GLUE VALENTINE BOX AND TAG

Here is another project using UHU Glue, this time the glue roller, which has micro dots, and is lovely to use as there is no gumming up ever, and is smooth flowing. I do like it a lot.
I used the pretty paper for the box, and lined the upper part of it as you can see in the photo. This will be filled with candy hearts, the little ones that I remember from oh so long ago!!
The tag was made from the three pieces of papers, stamping and embossing and then glueing with the roller…so smooth. I added the pretty gemstones to the hearts for a bit of bling.

COLOUR EXPLODE

BEESWAX BOX FOR CAS

CALENDAR JOURNAL RR

The paper on the first page is actually a napkin that someone wrapped a lil giftie in. It is goldish and taupe, and I drybrushed some gold paint on it after glueing it down with gel meduim. The 2010 was written on a film negative strip, which I put some pearl X powders onto. Some stamping and it was done!
The right side was painted with lumieres, and a drawing on tissue paper glued onto that. I found the drawing in an advertising book, and altered the face. Then more rubber stamping.

UHU TWIST AND GLUE Fridge Magnet

The UHU Twist and glue is a product I have been wanting to try out…and here is my first result. I am very
happy with it; it is a very strong glue, and is transparent.
I took a couple of photos, as it’s very difficult to photograph the marbles.
You need:
juice lid
2 glass marbles
2 buttons
bottle cap – smashed
pretty paper
gathered lace
small magnets for the back.

I stamped on the buttons, a squirrel, and a dog, with archival inkpad. The feet image is from a DaVinci
 collection. I glued everything as shown in the pic – with  the UHU twist and glue.  It worked great!
