Webster's Pages Tag Booklet

So, this strange journey began with a tag booklet I made with toliet paper rolls. Truly!! It was so much fun to see the reaction when I told people what they were made with. I did a quick impromptu class using this design, but we couldn't come up with that many TP rolls that quickly, so we improvised by making our own. Using, of course, Webster's Pages.
Here's a pic of the inside of the booklet.

I'm offering this booklet as a class Friday morning, August 6 @ 9 a.m. Space is limited, so call the store to sign up @ 970-577-1415 or email me @ cheryl@RMMemories.com. Hope to see you there!

Tag Booklet

Lovely Monday morning! Three new friends came in and we did a sort of spontaneous class making a tag booklet. We used B Line and Stamper's Anonymous (Holtzie) stamps, Webster's Pages and bound them with a Bind-it-All machine. What fun!

Stampers are the NICEST people. Kay did a beautiful job on her booklet, creating, changing and rearranging all the way. Love creative people. Love 'em.

Besty showed herself to be a true artist. She put her own flair on Webster's Pages, preferring the plainest front to her booklet and then making it her own.

Lois finished her booklet and went right to work on paper pine needles to accent her tiny pine cones she found in her friend's yard. I like this girl!

This is Betsy's cover to her tag booklet, ready for binding. Blogger would only let me load 5 pics, for some reason, so I'll post again tomorrow and show the finished booklet they had for their example. Theirs ended up looking nothing like mine which I LOVE. It so cool to take a basket of ingredients and make your own unique art. I'm working this up for a class in the near future, so stay tuned......

B Line Designs!

The stamps have arrived for the B Line Designs trunk show. I think you are going to love these beautiful images. We have lots of birds, words and garden images. So pretty.....



We have about half wood mounted stamps and half cling rubber. You'll be able to choose what's best for the way you like to work and for your pocketbook.

I'll have these stamps in the store from June 25 to July 30. Stop by!! Its a happy place. :-)

G45!!!!!!

Here's my latest obsession. (Or, additional obsession!!) I was cutting little pieces from Webster's Pages to make shutter cards, so I just kept going with Graphic 45 to make a whole set of cards. One sheet has these diamond shapes with these beautiful botanical images. I used those in a variety of ways to create a set of cards that are very versatile. Thank yous, man cards, general note cards. Very nice set. I love these.

This one uses just a left over bit to add a dimension to the card front.

For this card below, I didn't tie a full knot with the twill, it would have made too big a knot. So I just looped the twill, and stapled it with a Tiny Attacher. Then I used Glossy Accents to glue the brass button on top.

For some reason, I can't delete this duplicate picture, so no extra charge for this image. ENjoy!!

I think this one is my favorite. It should be too busy with all that jazz on the background as well as the focal point, but somehow it isn't. At least I don't think so. Hope you like these G45 simple, simple cards. :-)

Labeling Your Distress Inks

I was working on labels for my Distress Inks yesterday and thought others might like to do the same. Ranger Ink has a link on their site that makes it easy! Go to RangerInk.com, click the "Tips and Techniques" tab, and then click "Print Labels for Your Ranger Inks". Then print! I print 4 copies so I can label each side of my Distress Inks. That way, I just put them back in the wire storage without worrying about which edge is showing. Below you see the printed labels. I've cut out a few to use.
Here I've cut individual labels and turned them upside down. I put a piece of double stick tape on the back.

Next I trim the label closely around the words. The label is now sticky on the back.

Now just adhere your labels to each side of the Distress Inks. It nice to have these because the font is already sized correctly to fit. Sure makes it easy to find the one I want. You can then, if you like, apply some ink to these labels. Some people look for words (I am a word girl!!) and some just look for color.

Hope this makes using your Distress Inks even more fun for you. Blessings on you today!!
