Staying Cool
It's been scorching here the last few days. I'm not complaining (because I know what's right around the corner), but the heat does nothing for my creativity. Last night it got a touch cooler and I was able to make a few more French match boxes.
I picked up these little boxes from Hobby Lobby. They are slightly smaller than actual match boxes from the Dollar Store. I used French book paper and these great religious images.
I also whipped up some new tags for my Etsy shop. Found this wonderful image on Pinterest.
Another great Hobby Lobby find are these blank enamel tags. I used some rub-ons that I had in my craft room to make these two. Both are available in my Etsy shop.
And remember a few weeks ago when I said I was going to try and make my own rub-on transfers using a YouTube technique? Turns out I don't have to. Turns out Michael's sells something called Smash Paper. You can use it to create your own rub-ons, printing right from your computer. Woo hoo!

Nice creations Jeanine. The heat zaps my creativity too. I'm so glad it cooled down a bit the last couple days.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanine, your match boxes are wonderful. Love the tags too and those enamel tags are awesome. I need to pay a visit to Hobby Lobby. Thanks for the tip with the smash paper. I will for sure be trying that one too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and stay cool. cm
So pretty, I adore all altered matchboxes. They are fun to fill with small treasures.
