SC343 Circa 1934

I still had Circa 1934 from Cosmo Cricket out on my desk so I used that for today's sketch challenge over on SCS.  You can find it here...SC343

Have you tried making flowers from rolled rick rack yet?  It is so fun you must put it on your list.  There were two used on this creation...

This one super simple sticking to the sketch no extras...

Happy Stamp Day.  God Bless.

In the Soup

I worked on some board shorts for the 4th  Have a SWELL 4th  and made up a few of these with the leftover bits.  The script is computer generated.  And for those who don't know about the soup it is the point where the wave breaks and all the trash and seaweed  from the ocean collects in the white water.  

Surfers call this the SOUP;)

So as the card says when life has you in the SOUP paddle out again!

Thought this would make another wonderful card of encouragement for my creative stash.

Okay, I am packing up for the sun, sand and surf.  Who is going with me?

Birthday Fun with Napkins

For my creation today I used napkins in place of Decorative Paper.  For the dotted I crumpled it up and ran it through the Xyron then mounted it on my black base.  

For the stripe napkin, I applied the cracked glass technique.

The cute little cake image came off of Cricut Simply Charmed. 

 I punched out the sprinkles from the extra stripe napkin.

Ring Tray Tute

So I hung my necklaces on the wall with a stick here is the post link for you

Organized Stick Up

Now I am showing you the ring tray I made using simple crafty tools so I could organize my larger rings.  You know the ones that are bigger than life and fun as heck to wear.  Everyone always has questions for me when I have them on.  Yes, them!  I am not known for wearing just a single ring at a time. 

You see the tray bottom right of photo...

Here is a close up for you, I have left some rings off so you can see the spaces they fit into...

Want to make one?

Here is how to do it.

1. Start with a 12 by 12 piece of card stock.
2. Score and fold card stock at 6"
3. Score  1" in on all sides
4. Measure out and mark with pencil where you want your holes to be
5. Use the Big Bite or anywhere hole punch to make your 1/4" holes for the smaller rings
6. Use a sharp scissors  to cut on the marked line between these holes to make your ring slot
7. For the larger elastic banded ring spaces I lined up the markings on the punch to space out the holes
8. Fold on all of your 1" score lines
9. Cut into your flap ends
10. Adhere your flaps with Red Liner Tape and you are finished.

Want to take it up a step?

 Make a tray for your organizer  to nest it into. 

 This tray is where I placed the matching earrings for the rings organized here.

Here are a few more beauties I have been wanting to show you.  

The ring on the left was made from a vintage screw back earring.  

Remove the earring back

Place E6000 on earring back

Set an adjustable ring bezel and dry for 24 hours.

Yes, it is that EASY and they look fabulous.  

No to mention the hunt for these vintage goodies is a delight!

(I have had some fall apart when  back was removed.  No fears, just take some jewelry wire and a few tools and restring the beads and continue as mentioned above.  You can even take multiples apart and restring a new design.  Endless possibilities!)

The ring on the right was made with products I purchased for paper crafting.

The Cameo is resin purchased from Etsy.

The Bezel was also an Etsy Purchase.

A little E6000 and an adjustable ring bezel and you are good to go.

I love both of the looks.  Yes, I do at times wear them at the same time;)

So there you have it a lot of organization using the basic simple tools and a whole lot of fun;)
