The pot on the stove contains some beef barley soup and you just have to have buns to go with soup :)
I'm keeping with the Smash book, hope no one minds that I took the words from EK, they are so perfect and afterall, it's just for me. This book is for my everyday journal type thing.
The little watering-can-turned-teapot (I just trimmed it up) is for todays entry :)
Inside back cover started. I am glueing two pages together, throughout, just to tuck away little lists or private thoughts. On the blog at EK, one person had made a list of things to help with journaling, you can find the EK address in my previous post.
I finished a canvas tag yesterday. The colour is washed out in the photo, but really it's quite pretty :) I saw the canvas tag book and thought, I can make those. So I went and bought a metre of canvas--next time I'll just go get the tag book, lol. I put a piece of cardstock in between the layers just to give it some stability. The tag is spritzed with Glimmer Mist and I added some do-dads, fibre, a piece of mica, a clip, etc. The leaf thing is off an old purse, it's pinned on with a TH clasp. The pictures are from a box that my coasters came in and the word Journey is a CM sticker.
**just a note to let you know (if you look close),
that I turned the one little pic the right way up :) the one by the clip
Thank you for coming, I hope you enjoyed your tea time here :)

ReplyDeleteSmash books remind of me of the old glue books in a way...fun
ReplyDeleteYour Earl Grey (way too hot here for hot tea) is tempting me and fried bread sounds pretty yummy too!
Love seeing your creativity dear Nancy!
Happy T to you!

ReplyDeleteThe shot of your rolls on the stove is so homey looking, makes you feel warm inside. Wish I could eat one!
ReplyDeleteyummy! those rolls, drool.....and your horse page is divine!!! happy t tues!!
ReplyDeleteWow! It must not be scorching hot where you are, Nancy because soup sounds wonderful, but NOT in this heat. And I love fried bread, too. Of course, that will be more enjoyable when the weather is under 110 F.
ReplyDeleteA bunch of my British friends are into the smash books. I like to make them, but don't like to journal. I'm not a journaler. Glad you are enjoying yours, though.
You could run a bakery if you can turn out beautiful rolls like those! That is no easy feat!! Your smash book is just so cool! I love that you can be so free with it :) .... And your tag is just beautiful Nancy! So much detail! Wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday (on Wednesday!), kimmie
