I discovered how difficult it is to be creative when under an enormous amount of stress. I tried to analyze where the stress all came from. Could it be the two job changes in the past year? Or was it having my baby graduate from high school and move away to college? Maybe I was merely experiencing the much dreaded mid life crisis everyone speaks about. I do know having to deal with my Dad and siblings in regards to my mother’s estate is what pushed me over the edge. Taking on the responsibilities of my mother’s estate as co-executor and trustee wasn’t exactly an easy task. In an effort to deal with life’s stresses I took a leave of absence from my scrapbooking. I resigned from being a part of Helmar’s design team, something I loved dearly. A side note, thank you to Tracy at Helmar Adhesives for her love and support. She even sent me a going away gift full of Helmar adhesives. I’ll put them to good use soon! This time I spent away from scrapbooking was spend doing something positive. I devoted my time and energy to gardening!<br /><br />Will I return to scrapbooking? Of course, I find crafting as a form of therapy. I found gardening to provide a different kind of healing. Spending time outdoors I discovered all kinds of wildlife. Deer graze and sleep in my back yard. Mice live in my compost bin. A snake lives under my deck. Humming birds feed on the flowers. Toads live in my garden and I hear the owls hoot in the trees as I walk around in the garden. I have overcome some of my fear of bees, I no longer panic when I hear them buzz by my head. I love spending time outdoors listening to the trees rustle when the wind blows. I love the feel of the sun on my skin; it reminds me of my youth growing up in Texas. It is so relaxing to watch the sun set. If I stay outside long enough, the deck lights come on. I experience the ambiance of country life to the fullest. <br /><br />With all that said, I would like to share some photos of the fruits of my labor.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmSHRBJRnx2t5MmocS8Um1KrORug1gHOl8b4uIkrVNz2XbMBcWryhlCiSEX5ljx-vbDQLlvJy5UuJ_DwyniNOVcOhH7ymsxi5IXaikk64p3L68fjRLQaimtq0aVQFM-QvORHGRQPtiGiI/s1600/Herbs.jpg"><img style="display:block;

As a designer for Helmar, I’ve had an opportunity to use some fabulous products. When asked to choose my favorite, I couldn’t possibly do that. Each one of Helmars’ products has its own creative purpose in my crafting. I love to make mini-albums and create layouts for scrapbooks; I chose to feature an adhesive that I reach for most often, <a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/products/products_qs/quickfix_glue_runners/">Helmar Quick-fix Adhesive Runner</a>.

<br />This is a double sided, acid free, archival and photo safe adhesive. It is perfect for craft, school projects, office, scrapbooking and card making. It is quick and easy to use, providing an even layer of adhesive onto the application surface. Ideal for quickly adhering many light weight items such as cardstock, photos and ribbon. <a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/products/products_qs/quickfix_glue_runners/">Helmar Quick-fix Adhesive Runner</a> can easily be refilled, just open the dispenser and drop in a new cartridge. <a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/products/products_qs/quickfix_glue_runners/">Helmar Quick-fix Adhesive Runner</a> allows me to add photos to layouts and projects such as the one featured on this clipboard. This personalized clipboard can hang on you wall as a message board. To make the most of my paper scraps, I was able to create a few cards as well. Enjoy!

Creating a layout is quick and easy using this pattern paper as the foundation for your layout. I love the monochromatic theme, scalloped edges, flourish designs and the little crowns in each corner. I followed the design in each scallop as my guide for placing a decorative brad, just use a paper piercer for punching the holes. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXVD6dRQcFhq5XS42V0s5gOHq8uOb0Rj1tIn39ABUMwDCKocS9y5LvPn3EH2Y20vB7VEUjhwVqWYNeOdfGghjHc2f9aaQt6AGQPRdL1axhseLzLbyw10VvyW-HZF6R4fTZS11TfE3AMGw/s1600-h/UL_DSC7749.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 235px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXVD6dRQcFhq5XS42V0s5gOHq8uOb0Rj1tIn39ABUMwDCKocS9y5LvPn3EH2Y20vB7VEUjhwVqWYNeOdfGghjHc2f9aaQt6AGQPRdL1axhseLzLbyw10VvyW-HZF6R4fTZS11TfE3AMGw/s320/UL_DSC7749.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440558745073779058" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsEN5CXiPxnY6dbREIZMyNyYzfd4S26WQJzZ1VpE0WAV3gx4wmHMOE_KCALRF3TGXPzqyUN7cJPZ0DXIK2yV8QkQlxmMJJTdPLDczfelGPazuEIaRU-St5u7FwVL58B2iVGNJuQuBwLSs/s1600-h/UL_DSC7747.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 194px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsEN5CXiPxnY6dbREIZMyNyYzfd4S26WQJzZ1VpE0WAV3gx4wmHMOE_KCALRF3TGXPzqyUN7cJPZ0DXIK2yV8QkQlxmMJJTdPLDczfelGPazuEIaRU-St5u7FwVL58B2iVGNJuQuBwLSs/s320/UL_DSC7747.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440558591305629906" /></a><br /><br />The edges of the photo were dry brushed with acrylic paint to coordinate with the papers.

This can be about your parents, friend, children or spouse. Do a layout about a close relationship; reinforce how you feel for this individual. Thinking of you is all about my best friend and husband, Tony.

The designs in this paper pack are so versatile that they can be used for more than just Christmas theme layouts. As you can see from the round decorative edge paper, I created a theme about love instead. Classic designs such as the papers in this packet can be used for more than just one season. I love, love, love <a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/">Elle’s Studio Tags</a>! Here I used one of the Love Notes for my journaling box, embellished with a flower it can be pulled out from the heart shaped pocket to read. <a href="http://www.creativeimpressions.com/?call=TVRBeQ==">Creative Impressions</a> has a vast assortment of Bits of Bling, I love how this pearl bling adds a touch of class to my flower centers. The photo is adhered with <a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/products/products_qs/quickfix_glue_runners/">Helmar Quick-Fix Adhesive</a>, applied to only 3 sides of the photo. This enables the journaling to tuck behind the photo. The lace and heart were applied with <a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/products/all_products/450_stainless_adhesive/">Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive</a>.

I cut two strips of fabric to 6 x 8 wrapping it around the album cover. I mitered the edges allowing a clean fold around the corners. I cut a scalloped edge on the red velour fabric and placed a strip on the spine of the Cover-All. Helmar Acid Free Adhesive was used on all the fabric to attach it to the cover. The 6x6” inner pages were cut using the Zutter DreamKutz tool. The pages were bound together using the Zutter Bind-it-All and ¾” Red O’wires. <div></div><div>Wishing you a day filled with love from family and friends!</div><div></div><div>Tish Treadaway, OZZ Zutter Bind-it-All Design Team</div>Tish Treadawayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09332321949413121286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636837385046746503.post-6787724145547399912010-02-12T23:33:00.004-05:002010-02-12T23:46:26.796-05:00Sending you my love...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUItBgc-SUDUouDLHajA0ZFIvlbcmytKtJ7-W6mhziPD1I6F9Oozty8surfhIhKcgy0twchkR8Qqy2HDpgo6zixnhc6kBgpdFqUSom-Kp90bBBU5sQ_AYva-vpaSIrGkryqHp1hDAbxJ4/s1600-h/Mailbox_DSC7707.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 294px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUItBgc-SUDUouDLHajA0ZFIvlbcmytKtJ7-W6mhziPD1I6F9Oozty8surfhIhKcgy0twchkR8Qqy2HDpgo6zixnhc6kBgpdFqUSom-Kp90bBBU5sQ_AYva-vpaSIrGkryqHp1hDAbxJ4/s320/Mailbox_DSC7707.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437583009466023042" /></a><br /><br />Send someone you love a special treat this Valentine’s Day.

To add to the vintage feel of the papers, I rubbed ColorBox inks around the edges for a distressed look. For the box lid, I used coordinating papers from The Robin’s Nest applied using Helmar Acid Free Glue. I drilled a hole in the lid of the box and put a hardware drawer knob. Using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive, I embellished the box lid with large felt snowflakes form CreativeImpressions.com. I placed Bits of Bling from Creative Impressions in the center of each snowflake. The box wouldn’t be complete without a label, here I used Elle’s Studio Vintage Label Cut Outs and distressed with sandpaper. To give the box some legs to stand on, I painted wood knobs and adhered to the box using Helmar Super Strength PVA Wood Glue. The box if beautiful on it’s own, lets’ take it a step further by making a coordinating album to fit inside the box. Using the Zutter Bind-it-all, I punched holes and bound it with Brass O’Wires. I dry brushed the chipboard covers with blue and white acrylic paints. Once the paint dried, I applied The Robin’s Nest Snow Fun Rub-ons. The inner pages of the album are from The Robin’s Nest Winter Retreat papers cut to 4” x 4” size of the covers. Apply a Large Felt Snowflake with a Bit of Bling all from CreativeImpressions.com. The ensemble is complete and ready to fill with memories of wintery events.Tish Treadawayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09332321949413121286noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636837385046746503.post-53053271089726518182010-01-01T00:01:00.007-05:002010-01-01T00:01:06.406-05:00Happy New Years!A year in review album is the perfect start for the New Year.

Don’t worry, I’ve found Christmas cheer in weirder ways. That second-hand sweater was not the cutest puppy in the pet store. It was, redeemably, the fuzziest though, so I kept it. The more I wore it, the more I loved it, so I even replaced the buttons and patched the seams. The sweater had a beginning with me, but not a new one. As the years fly by, I’ve realized that truly new beginnings are hard to come by and that old beginnings are perhaps all the fuzzier, all the warmer and cozier for being old. What does this have to do with the holidays? Well, not to dampen your yuletide cheer, but I’ve realized that, as we celebrate the end of a tired year and ring in the new, we’re not actually ringing in anything new. For anyone over a year old, this holiday season is a like my broken-in sweater. It’s an old beginning. Every year on the eve of the last night of December, we look back—then forward. And it’s one of God’s greatest blessings. Even though 2010 is a new year to us, and 2009 the old, every year is a beginning that’s beginning again. <br /><br />This year, David started college at North Carolina State University, where practically his first action was to taunt me about better football, better organized campus, and better ice cream. He’s joined the club cross-country team and plans to continue running with the club for track season in spring. He wants to major in computer science, and after getting a 4.0 GPA for his first semester, he's off to a good start. He's asked Santa for a Nissan GT-R for Christmas, but Santa's Helpers--Mom and Aunt G--have told him that the only car he's getting is a toy that will fit in his stocking.<br /><br />While David couldn’t wait to begin college, now I can’t wait to graduate. In May, barring any unforeseen senioritis, I’ll walk the stage for degrees in Dramatic Arts and Photojournalism with a minor in English. In November, I completed the Battleship Half-Marathon in Wilmington, N.C., with a couple of my best friends from Zeta Tau Alpha. Better yet, 2009 will be remembered as the year that I finally made a passable apple pie, after four Thanksgivings of failures! Next year, I hope to move to New York City, own a cat named "Moose" and coax my family up to visit me often.<br /><br />Daniel still enjoys working as barista and waiter at the same restaurant in downtown Asheville, N.C., although the cafe has changed names over the last few years. Now it's called Ello, so when he answers the phone, he cries, "Hello, it's Ello." Danny loves bargain book hunting and filling his external hard drives--yes, he has several--with music and videos. He’s taking classes at Asheville-Buncombe Tech studying computers, so he and David spend breaks arguing about computer coding and demolishing each other in video games.<br /><br />Mom's new beginning is, in her own words, the "best Christmas present of all." In November, she started a new job at Charlotte Country Day School’s athletic department. She is thrilled to be wearing the Bucs' green and white. She still designs for Helmar Adhesives and Zutter Bind-It-All, so her scrapbooking studio is bursting with scrapbooking projects. Mom also makes a mean Texas chili, grows great tomatoes and loves having a blaze in the fire pit. She and Tony celebrated their 10-year anniversary this year, and even with all of the kids finally out of the house, Tony still loves and complains about our noisy visits home. "Crumb-crunchers," he'll grumble at us—and smile. <br /><br />David brought the rest of the season rushing back to me with a joke. Aunt G asked him whose birthday was coming up in December, expecting his reply, “Mine, mine! Mine’s on the 18th!” Instead he gave a facetious grin and asked, “Jesus’ birthday?” But he’s right, you know. Of all the holiday sentiments, the spirit of beginning is what this season is all about. We’re not just beginning another year; we’re celebrating the birthday, the very beginning, of the Messiah. God’s love, made real for us in Christ and sacrificed through his body, began two-thousand years ago, and we still celebrate it today. Every day is an old beginning to be thankful for, every Christmas and New Year’s a celebration of the old beginning of the gospel. <br /><br />Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas!<br /><br />Tony, Tish, Daniel, Amy and DavidTish Treadawayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09332321949413121286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636837385046746503.post-72794119849919121982009-12-24T01:00:00.000-05:002009-12-24T20:11:12.296-05:00Merry Christmas!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKXquZFO1P4wHxRjc26mizDMK23sBY76gKOGM4sBiUEm64cM629l4DF605gaDR3R-vGGLX2luccxbx2nDu95ahMJq3H_IqY1RpC2KzZOZhKdCQEv5Dgg-L9OE8rDKPPeYdALsHarob9DQ/s1600-h/Merry_DSC7154.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px; display: block; height: 246px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417537928449057186" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKXquZFO1P4wHxRjc26mizDMK23sBY76gKOGM4sBiUEm64cM629l4DF605gaDR3R-vGGLX2luccxbx2nDu95ahMJq3H_IqY1RpC2KzZOZhKdCQEv5Dgg-L9OE8rDKPPeYdALsHarob9DQ/s320/Merry_DSC7154.jpg" border="0" /></a>Christmastime brings out the shutterbug in all.

Cut out 8” x 10” cardstock for the album pages. I love the freedom one has with Zutter to create custom albums. Apply the paper to the cover using Helmar Acid Free Glue. After the adhesive dries, I lightly sand the edges with a sand block. With the Zutter Bind-it-All tool I punch the holes and bind the album together using ¾”OWire. Apply Helmar Vellum Spray to a doilie. Here I cut a paper doilie in half, one half for the fornt and the other for the back cover. Then I embellish the album cover using Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots. The last thing I do is tie ribbons on the album binding if desired.<br /><br /><br />Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas with many happy memories in the New Year!<br /><br /><br />Tish Treadaway, Helmar USA and OZZ Zutter Bind-it-All Design TeamsTish Treadawayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09332321949413121286noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636837385046746503.post-39990559134674793692009-12-23T01:00:00.000-05:002009-12-23T01:00:02.751-05:00Time to wrap it up!Hopefully by now you are finished with all of your shopping for gifts.

I had used pillow boxes for this project; you can create your own. I saw many free pillow box patterns on the internet. All I did was measure the pillow box and cut a strip of pattern paper to fit.<br />2. Wrap the pattern paper around the box and secure with Helmar Quick-Fix Adhesive Runner.<br />3. Wrap ribbons around the box, tie a knot and cut ribbon at an angle.<br />4. Tuck the pink crochet snowflake underneath the knot of the ribbon. Place a dab of Helmar Scrap Dots to secure on the package.<br />5. Add a pink poinsettia flower on the snowflake with a little Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots.<br />6. Add gift tags, here I secured them with a tiny safety pin.<br /><br />Tish Treadaway, Helmar USA Design Team MemberTish Treadawayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09332321949413121286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636837385046746503.post-6764659638367716702009-12-22T01:00:00.008-05:002009-12-22T01:00:00.988-05:00A Basket of Christmas Goodies<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkF8Nks8qPznOMkPTM3D7dy2fmHN5DXgLRemW18i91rPeybGkvqqRaYcaLZv_ESyWUcUALY4ZVrloSnE1YcR7RuFk98q-KqLRp-9Uso-XIJmtEsTtbhEeXHiGuJRWnADTUz3rjXaECyDc/s1600-h/_DSC7193.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417531131738613618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkF8Nks8qPznOMkPTM3D7dy2fmHN5DXgLRemW18i91rPeybGkvqqRaYcaLZv_ESyWUcUALY4ZVrloSnE1YcR7RuFk98q-KqLRp-9Uso-XIJmtEsTtbhEeXHiGuJRWnADTUz3rjXaECyDc/s320/_DSC7193.JPG" /></a>Creating 4” x 4” albums is my favorite size to make with the Zutter Bind-it-All and DreamKuts tools. They are quick and easy to make. A great way to use up left over papers you have from projects. Not to mention they are just so cute as gifts for all occasions. Here I made a collection of five mini-albums. I’m ready for the upcoming holidays with a basket full of albums for gifts.. <div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 295px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417530258469523874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3GLFl3gkKrZR_iRFVo8NegJ_Bu8DJAyJhj44xTpnyoaQZG9J_q3yBxwbVYmjQ5pqItNdVY5DmhyL3e4zpCbrlveJiYcfKxP59eDwprMvMd8KIJhwBRHtQqMNgmDm7uECpK_1opsPp2ZI/s320/JOY_DSC7179.jpg" /><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 306px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417530053149152450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiNXGTWD32iXhaotnbx2RrqBamo4mzTO7eO9dXyqCgREPh8e7d9UU_iMS6E9jbYhuBdgoVRCbrEeNr6sMntZ29a0EVvAYv9zhsQVpsFlAOkaa9uPZfHnoiQHWg628nQSfAaz1IQGOFvpE/s320/MC-GREEN_DSC7182.jpg" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2x1o86w1qTzg7VMNy1uVMZYqNB4bF4oNwnBoZphAnR1SdkvEHvyTqma7Ci_7Ep1W7rYlsYx2MNSnPLqOODCZvMIX5ZkkhMgw5kev8PyqKtLpxI6YM_7YXgEI38xNXt5gPYTNFtz2ngdM/s1600-h/MC-RED_DSC7163.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 294px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417529880227626354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2x1o86w1qTzg7VMNy1uVMZYqNB4bF4oNwnBoZphAnR1SdkvEHvyTqma7Ci_7Ep1W7rYlsYx2MNSnPLqOODCZvMIX5ZkkhMgw5kev8PyqKtLpxI6YM_7YXgEI38xNXt5gPYTNFtz2ngdM/s320/MC-RED_DSC7163.jpg" /></a><br /><div><div align="center">Supplies Used:<br />Helmar Acid Free Glue<br />Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots</div><div align="center">Zutter 4” x 4” Chipboard Covers<br />Zutter ¾” Antique Brass, Silver, Red Owires<br />Me&My Big Ideas Paper<br />American Paper Company Cardstock<br />Making Memories and Close to my Heart Ribbons<br />Me&My Big Ideas Stickers<br /></div><div>With the help of the Zutter DreamKuts Tool; cut 4” x 4” pattern paper for the album cover and 4” x 4” cardstock to use for the album pages. I love the creative freedom one has with Zutter tools to make custom albums. Apply the paper to the cover using Helmar Acid Free Glue. After the adhesive dries, I lightly sand the edges with a sand block. With the Zutter Bind-it-All tool I punch the holes and bind the album together using ¾”OWire. Then I embellish the album cover using Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots. The last thing I do is tie ribbons on the album binding if desired.<br /><br />Tish Treadaway, OZZ Zutter Bind-it-All Design Team</div></div></div></div></div>Tish Treadawayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09332321949413121286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636837385046746503.post-34284043995011415812009-12-21T10:00:00.009-05:002009-12-21T10:00:01.739-05:00Pa Rum Pum Pum Pum Drums...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUUiUJq0bYeq_eyTf3hFgK_oQUt1B66ji8k3yjpp1dw5fknlgx3s7ZqoFxuw6ryq5ngTorQWK1WliRRJl4ghoCDDT48nKZ0If5eDYKJTBVAvGBWzPQV_aF9wuSLkRT42VlctQ9ifVw_gw/s1600-h/Drum_DSC7538.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 221px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417508625164416610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUUiUJq0bYeq_eyTf3hFgK_oQUt1B66ji8k3yjpp1dw5fknlgx3s7ZqoFxuw6ryq5ngTorQWK1WliRRJl4ghoCDDT48nKZ0If5eDYKJTBVAvGBWzPQV_aF9wuSLkRT42VlctQ9ifVw_gw/s320/Drum_DSC7538.jpg" /></a>Special appreciation to Helmar and their preferred partners such as <a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/">Elle’s Studio Tags </a>and <a href="http://www.gcdstudios.com/">GCD </a>Studios to name a few.

Have you ever purchased something and not used it yet? Let me challenge you this Christmas to pull out something from your stash and add some updated paper designs. You will be thrilled with the final results. To decorate the drum boxes, I used GCD Studios Christmas Sleigh Collection Pack for the foundation. This paper pack was full of beautiful foil, flocked and glitter pattern papers. The first thing I did was remove the cord trim from all the drum boxes. Paint trims in coordinating colors and set aside. One of the trims sparkles; I brushed <a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/products/all_products/acid_free_glue">Helmar Acid Free Glue </a>and then sprinkled glitter on it. Then I cut the pattern papers the width of the drums. Attach the papers to the outside of the drums using <a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/products/all_products/acid_free_glue">Helmar Acid Free Glue</a>. Place the trim back on the drums using <a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/products/all_products/acid_free_glue">Helmar Acid Free Glue</a>. Embellish with flowers, tulle and Elle’s Studio Tags attaching everything with <a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/products/all_products/450_stainless_adhesive">Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive</a>. The boxes are ready to fill with treats for gifts or set out on display to spread Holiday Cheer.<br /><br />I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!<br /><br />Tish Treadaway, Helmar USA Design Team Member</div>Tish Treadawayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09332321949413121286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636837385046746503.post-84428543499610489352009-12-06T21:22:00.002-05:002009-12-06T21:26:32.111-05:00Helmar Happy Holidays!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWL-IDnitw_eQwY2RpkB0pJHdIesJNudBAvHf0z-WenaOuTIEBH3QMvATKPxw91e24XVLEncZ0vXbXCli1ibq9qgR51LRVOTabGAh5fVqvYW6Pu8BWwnmtz021LM4UPttlCsDDQ73UqQc/s1600-h/6a010535f181dc970c0120a6f17fe8970b-320wi.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 317px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412314289957562114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWL-IDnitw_eQwY2RpkB0pJHdIesJNudBAvHf0z-WenaOuTIEBH3QMvATKPxw91e24XVLEncZ0vXbXCli1ibq9qgR51LRVOTabGAh5fVqvYW6Pu8BWwnmtz021LM4UPttlCsDDQ73UqQc/s320/6a010535f181dc970c0120a6f17fe8970b-320wi.jpg" /></a>Helmar is having a giveaway.

I love the Zutter Bind-It-All, DreamKuts and Score-It-All products, so participating on the design team was my pleasure. I’ve made new friends from all over the world, inspired by each individuals personal style. This is the first time for me to participate in a layout swap; I can tell you it was like Christmas when the box arrived with everyone’s layouts. I encourage you to check out each one of our blogs to see the layouts we each submitted and the way we each embellished our Cover-All Albums.<br /><br />As for the layout, each member received a different layout. The sketch was the same but the color theme and embellishments’ varied. Here’s just a few of the layouts I submitted to the team.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigsrosAi8cbgqSRNHb_6buQuYIAvaIJAm3d1bB4EsMsf1jqK27Xmh_fZHcg5T956hdlFRuxUz1aWHS9DiII_UcoVdBvqypr7lIUPCxR6iRLMNhdmCGwxB-jdyGOn9iZp24LRJmFu7dbUs/s1600-h/OZZ_DSC0320.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 171px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394151828721092626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigsrosAi8cbgqSRNHb_6buQuYIAvaIJAm3d1bB4EsMsf1jqK27Xmh_fZHcg5T956hdlFRuxUz1aWHS9DiII_UcoVdBvqypr7lIUPCxR6iRLMNhdmCGwxB-jdyGOn9iZp24LRJmFu7dbUs/s320/OZZ_DSC0320.jpg" /></a><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 174px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394151713187005122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgymxZkbwGuYBHeYwlW2ceioCWsmB_Io6Y8ceQFDeYNJxQnh1giggNznW3eS__Pc3HIKcOWjfuipGj0GDebwuVIEcRN_GGqXGqJtTbLHaHbEhAOTrcBJ_8gcPHyN601gtl4kL8cUmy-k-k/s320/OZZ_DSC0322.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 169px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394149943806845938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioS27tTmkOG-SEV8lIV09Abq3Tw_74xPdoSKQEIFcB2NGmrQgJNWfLPT0ZDWCiDVOJehS0WX76GcdBB2OHL93pmjefSUsSCTUopcGl1umBsBaj_DzO4ApRmta1oYdU2Hpa24FQzutgkPU/s320/OZZ-Swap_DSC0325.jpg" /> <div><div>My Cover-All Album was all white so I was working with a blank artist canvas. I stamped the entire cover with a script font; sponge painted the cover, painted flowers and drew on it with a white opaque pen. I cut out a frame from a piece of Prima papers for the front of the cover. The title was created using rub-ons. I couldn’t resist adding the book bra, perfect for this Shabby Chic album theme. Having the freedom to make each album unique and personal is the main reason why I recommend Zutter Products. The ability to turn almost anything into an album with their products makes this a good value. Something we are all mindful of these days. </div><div></div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394149331917209346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY991iKuHtqhoRhrB7dZXKL1isDe-6mJnIn0g26V5jxjXJLRS1NXdTjkLtT1Agddv5T3IfT9l6GZYsKDc9G3Sz-XovQWrEnb3Cknnb8-DyrzdXw-_CQodUGigQhT4KyPzJQaJeQFMJLBI/s320/_DSC6932.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 149px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394148739445617330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMfkd6DZ1y6EoxMW9pdw7KwmG5CT5mg_NLK9R-JFFl_hm8XSeu8ymtL7IEoFJ_FM_IKbjxxgAvQzqn22plHL4J3ZWKoqbM3m7mrzEBv0NGDULSNWtkc1sOfRt8knYMMqmXP8GBrRxj-C4/s320/ZZ_DSC6924.jpg" />As for the album pages, I received the removable pages.

I attended the Apple Festival in Hendersonville, NC recently and couldn’t wait to put together this album inspired by my trip. I used all types of materials found from this trip: shopping bags, vintage findings and fabric bags from peanuts for the album pages. Here’s the supplies and instructions on how I created this album…<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglAorq6sYqm-SqT0jqn6BYuo416gkvx6JWNPyOnYdwYmr45NMS5OVTx-RUwqnpijlGoUg_DrejTrKTw80NMA-2IdVAz6H80ttNoioQrdfZuTSK3jfugAyu6rI5qanCj9iUmucYbXHc2v0/s1600-h/AF-Page-1_DSC6071.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 162px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384849650193379090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglAorq6sYqm-SqT0jqn6BYuo416gkvx6JWNPyOnYdwYmr45NMS5OVTx-RUwqnpijlGoUg_DrejTrKTw80NMA-2IdVAz6H80ttNoioQrdfZuTSK3jfugAyu6rI5qanCj9iUmucYbXHc2v0/s320/AF-Page-1_DSC6071.jpg" /></a><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 152px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384849558749257314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpg9G3Mc-SkZMKQukbyeiMKPu36AQF97eBRUYyrPH5dpYLY3Hh6tj4i9__nfAMj5unylxCiOGxcETjOZOgT5QbLwDtN65HDsmE74JbNmQdWSumJDv_atr3ib7giT-UbSZ3pns2aemdOnc/s320/AF-Page-2_DSC6074.jpg" /> <div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 147px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384849475044418226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmc833rBpUbYBH-8U5ys6lUzI7wBidPBJJkBAxmYUG2r9iRGkEAc24zt_F7O7XH0LNyKza58o6L2dbbIHSRODTSZbdrLzZ6JJ1GeDzNdPabHiiItnRntD8BOI_l-aHkPiJfzNBo1IUGCg/s320/AF-Page-3_DSC6076.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 157px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384849402316975202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrBXMugGdz7BXDaonouv_NIh3qI9AEtz95NjotK9kmrxx3dMVOVX8XzFPgoFn7Ct7_MjKinYT9QOCkMHMd6RDqU8aJHcJ45PypzP2VthX8sas24TcNWWyBnhdIY1FaUiWN0czw16-iwrs/s320/AF-Page-4_DSC6077.jpg" /><br />Materials:<br /><a href="http://www.binditall.com/">Zutter 6” x 6” Clip-board Covers </a><br /><a href="http://www.binditall.com/">Zutter Antique 1” O’wire </a><br /><a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/products/all_products/acid_free_glue">Helmar Acid Free Glue</a></div><div><a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/products/products_jl/liquid_scrap_dots">Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots</a></div><div><a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/products/products_qs/quickfix_glue_runners">Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner </a><br />Ink – ColorBox<br />Karen Foster Burlap Patter Papers<br />Making Memories Vintage Findings Kit – Paper, Ribbon, Hardware<br />Paper Reflections Corrugated Board<br />Personal Vintage Collection of Buttons & Lace<br />Prima Flowers<br />Tulle - Michaels<br />Xyron Leeza Gibbons Legacies Felt Lilly<br /><br />Designer Instructions:<br />1.

You don't have to travel far from home to create a vacation album. Combine your love for dogs and create this fun summer theme album. The Dog Days of Summer Album is another way to document your summertime memories. Place it on a Zutter Display-it-all so you can reminisce all year long! When I create an album in advance, I leave space for photos and no text or titles. That way I can do that when I add the pictures or use the album as a gift. Here’s how I created this project:<br /><br />Materials:<br />Helmar Acid Free Glue<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div>Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots</div><div>Helmar Quick-Fix Adhesive Runner</div><div>Zutter 7.5” x 5” Clip-Board Covers<br />Zutter Black 1” O’wire<br />Zutter Acid Free Black Pages<br />Zutter Display-it-all<br />Just Puppies by Marco’s Paper<br />Paper Kit by WeRMemory Keepers<br />Ink – ColorBox<br /><br />Designer Instructions:<br />1. The Zutter 7.5” x 5” Clip-Board Covers with a 7.5” x 5” pattern paper on the front and back covers using Helmar Acid Free Adhesive.<br />2. Embellish the cover with a flourish design that I cut out of pattern papers.<br />3. Add Just Puppies to the front and back covers using Helmar Acid Free Glue.<br />4. The title on the cover is created using alphabet stickers. Place the self adhesive stickers to cardstock, trim around the letters and rub an ink pad around the edges. Vary the height of the title using Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots.<br />5. The album pages are Zutter Black Pages. Embellish the pages with Just Puppies using Helmar Acid Free Glue. For photo placement, add pattern papers to the pages using Helmar Quick-Fix Adhesive Runner<br />6. Bind the album using the Bind-it-all and Black 1” O’Wires.<br />7. Place the album on the Zutter Display-it-all and enjoy your summertime memories all year long!<br /><br />Tish Treadaway, Helmar and Zutter Bind-it-all Design Team Member </div></div></div></div></div></div>Tish Treadawayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09332321949413121286noreply@blogger.com0
