Make your Subway Art Sparkle

Hi everyone, Hope you are having a great day.  Well, if you know me...follow me on Facebook and Instagram, you may know that we drink quite a bit of wine around here....well, maybe not drink, but we do buy a lot.  lol  I decided to make this lovely Subway Wall Art for our home.  With just a few supplies, your home will be sparkling in no time.

Sparkly Wine Subway Art Supplies:
Step 1:  Adhere Core'dinations 12x24 Glitter paper to chipboard or cardboard sheets to form a sturdy backing.  You can even use cereal boxes if you like.  Just be sure to place them right next to each other to form a solid backing.  A little extra tape along the seams will make everything sturdy.

Taste of Fall - The Sampler


Good morning bloggers! Today I want to share with you another project using the September kit from The Sampler kit club.  This kit is so full of yummy goodies the projects keep coming.  This time some photos of dh and I at a wine tasting at one of our local wineries.  (I know the photo looks crooked....I was having camera issues).
 
I love all the textures in this kit. The super cute felts, the lovely laces, and of course the washi tape.  I couldn't resist using lots of stitching and a sketch from Page Maps.

The October Kit is just as gorgeous (probably my favorite yet) and is available in the store right now.  Grab yours before it's gone.  And don't forget about the sketch and card challenges going on now at The Sampler.  Lots of goodies to be won...no purchase necessary.


Hugs.

Rainy Monday

Hi everyone!  Sorry I am a little late but I spent a good chunk of my morning covering my patio furniture since it looks like it is going to rain.  Not something I was really prepared for since it is June and rain this time of year is quite unusual in Northern California.

Speaking of Northern California, along with our weather, this part of the country is also known for producing some great wines.  Phil and I occasionally get the opportunity to try wines (I think the nearest winery is only 7 miles, and one of our favorites is just 15). But keeping them straight; remembering which wines we have had and would like to buy, and which we are not interested in purchasing can be difficult.  I decided to create a small wine journal to save our tasting notes and wine labels.
I used my Bind-it-All with the 7.5 x 5 acrylic covers with some older Webster's Pages papers to create this little journal.  I love the acrylic covers.  Not only are they super light weight, but I enjoy playing with the translucent properties.  And, being that I kept most of the goodies on the inside, I can slip this into my purse if we are going out for the evening.
I added a little pocket to hold labels I made to write tasting notes.
And here....a completed page.  Yep, it was a good one.  hee hee
OK, this isn't totally flat...but other than this little flower????
And the lovely trims I tied to the o-wires???

Since I have made this album I have collected a few more labels.  I just need to figure out a better way of getting them off the bottle.  Any ideas?

Hugs.
