Hello Hello!

I swear, if I keep finding edible fabrics like these hoots, I am going to go BROKE!!!! 

Now, seriously, aren’t these little fellas soooo cute it hurts??

And, I got that paper, too…I don’t know which is cuter?  They BOTH hurt my eyes!

You know something super cute is gonna come out of that paper!  Wait and see!

And, I’ve already cut into that fabric….to make these cute jumbo tags..

and this fun stitched up card:

You want them to be yours and only yours?  Head on over to HERE and HERE to snatch em up!

Oh how fun!  I am working on things I shouldn’t be!!  Do you ever do that?  You have things that HAVE to get done, maybe a special order or things around the house…but…then you get something new and yummy and you just gotta dive in and CREATE something??  That’s how I am, I can’t help it…I have always been like that…gotta have it, gotta do it–NOW!  LOL!

Someone asked about adhesives and I though it was a GREAT question…problem is, I use soo many different types, so I thought I’d share. 

My most favorite “adhesive” is my sewing machine…I use it for soooo many things, most of which is paper!

For a 3-D pop up look, I love these by Paper Studio, they’re called “sticky-doos”:

When I’m wanting a shiny, glossy, raised look, I loooove using this stuff called Glossy Accents:

Here’s what I use when I need to glue together buttons, acrylic (as in acrylic albums), other plastic embellishments, this Quick Dry adhesive works great for me!:

These are perfect for ”gluing” sheer papers (vellums, etc.):

And, sometimes I have an itching to use these sticky FLAT dots…for quick, permanent jobs (i.e. getting a small embellishment on paper–like a sequin)

I love this two way liquid glue stick because there’s a small tip and then a large spongy tip on the other end…perfect for larger jobs, but BE CAREFUL not to use this stuff on anything you don’t want to “wrinkle”, as this will wrinkle papers as it dries.  Not bad, but noticable.

Same with this stuff, but I will use these to adhere specialty papers like corrugated cardstock or some fabrics to paper:

For everyday, all day craftin’ fun, I use these mounting squares:

They are a bit more work, but they are so worth it!!  I love these…and you have to make sure to get the PERMANENT ones, not the removable (what’s the point, right?).  They have filled many a scrapbook page and card….they’re awesome, high quality and stay in place!  And, don’t skimp when applying these babies!  The more you use the stronger and better your product.

I tried this gadget (for $10!!!!):

And I HATE it.  It’s supposed to dispense those mounting tabs that I so love…well…RIGHT RIGHT!  This thing was a pain in the you know what to use and it didn’t dispense the tabs where I needed and wanted them.  Clunky and too big…I would not recommend this, sorry!  I don’t even know what it’s called, but that’s not a problem since you wont want to buy it anyways.  If you already have this thing-a-ma-jig and love it, kudos to you for puttin up with it!

WHEW!  I told ya I use lots of adhesives! 

Happy day! 

Don’t forget to come back for ♥FREEBIE FRIDAY♥!!  xoxo
