    Simple Christmas cards


    These are so easy!! I punched some scrap text that had been painted with various shades of green. I drew a circle around a yogurt cup then ran a bead of UHU twist & glue around the circle. Place the punches around, tie a little bow, attach with more UHU twist & glue and your done!

    I think I like the gingham bow the best…

    Random Inspiration


    This entire book used scraps of book pages glued to the board book in a random fashion. I then use paint, stamps, markers, correction fluid and colored pencils to create my backgrounds.
    This is a Kelly Rae Roberts technique that I have absolutely fallen in love with.

    Before becoming a member of the UHU design team, I used to think gel medium was the only glue that I could use for this technique. After getting my sample glues, I discovered that the UHU twist & glue works perfectly! No more messed up brushes or the oh so wonderful…walked away and left the top off the jar of gel medium. I was famous for that one. Did I mention I’m easily distracted…?

    I tried something a little different with the spine. I sewed 2 scraps of fabric together using decorative stitches on my machine. I put a couple of large eyelets near the top so I could attach some fun fibers and charms. I used the UHU twist & glue to attach the fabric spine to the front and back covers.

    I love how it turned out!

    Fanciful Butterflies

    I’ve now finished all the interior pages of my Random Inspiration board book.

    This here is the latest.

    The covers have yet to be done and I’d like to try something new and fun for the spine but haven’t quite that figured out yet.
