Tuesday Tutorial # 13 Dye It!

Today I am going to show you how I make my own colors of ribbon and twine. It is very easy. There just aren't enough choice of some colors so I buy the reinkers, the Very Vanilla Thick Baker's twine, the Whisper White Baker's twine (that is the small/regular size twine in the catalog), and the 1/4" cotton ribbon and keep them on hand so that whenever I don't have the color I want I can make my own!

Thanks for stopping by today!
Have a blessed day,

One of my dreams is to go to Germany again. This time I would go with my husband (instead of a school) and see the southern part of Germany. I didn't make it down to the southern half of the country last time.

Have a blessed day,

Scrapbook Sunday # 13 Vintage Leaves page

Can you feel it in the air yet? Does it feel like fall?

I thought I would create a page for you to try out using the new Vintage Leaves stamp set and the matching framelits. It's a great way to use up some of your scraps. That's what I did, I grabbed my scrap bin and pulled out any papers that I thought would make good autumn leaves. Then I stamped and die cut them and arranged them on the page. The top rectangle is for the title and the bottom matted rectangle is for the photo.

I used Chocolate Brown 12" x 12" paper as the base, everything else is from my scrap bin. I stamped most of the leaves with Crumb Cake ink. The green leaves were stamped with Mossy Meadow ink.
I used VersaMark to make a watermark with leaves on the title rectangle. The leaves are positioned a little differently than I had them arranged originally. It is just hard to fish out the bottom ones to glue down without disturbing the top ones. I decided that the next time I do something like this with a bunch of arranged pieces, I will take a photo with my phone and have it open next to me so that I can reposition the pieces like I had them placed before I started gluing.

What tricks do you use? I'd like to hear from you.

Have a blessed day,
Trude

My favorite verse is Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called, according to His purpose.

It gives me hope to know that God is in everything working it out for my good, even when everything seems to be going wrong and my life isn't going the way I would like it to.
