For You From Ranjini

Apply the dabber to the rubber stamp and stamp the background. Use a heat gun to speed drying time. Cut a page from a vintage children's book and apply it to cover an index tag. I loved this one because the design mimics the graphics on Jenni's banner stickers. Embellish the tag with the fabric yoyo and button. Add banner stickers to the chipboard elements and adhere to top of card. Add alphas to spell out a sentiment if desired. Add a piece of trimmed scallop edged cardstock along the length of the card.

Button Bracelets by Melissa!

Today we have a couple adorable bracelets to share by our ultra talented office manager Melissa!

These were made with our new Vintage Holiday Chipboard Buttons and our Vintage Style Sew-On Buttons. The chipboard buttons were covered wtih a clear glossy glue first, then glued into soda tops and onto the bracelet. Be sure to use a strong adhesive such as E6000. The bracelets and soda tops can be purchased at your local craft store.

Thanks for the inspiration Melissa!

Really? by Stephanie Howell

Cute x 2 by Dina Wakley

Quick & Easy Accordion Tag Albums

I used JBS papers, embellishments, buttons, and bingo cards to make these cute accordion albums. I thought they'd make great gifts, and the design is versatile enough to work with any pictures.

I used permanent markers to tint the JBS sticker alphas...quick & simple!

Fabulous! Thanks for the inspiration Dina! If you'd like to see more of Dina's work, you can catch up with her (as well as Lisa Dicksinson) at Masterful Scrapbook Design.
