Spring Bling

I got the glitter, paint and glue out this weekend

My favorite

I found the box frames on Christmas Clearance for only 50cents each

I painted each frame in Springy colors

Kaely's favorite

Added some glitter and a patterned cardstock background

Alyssa's Favorite

Added some blinged up graphics from The Graphics Fairy

And then added just a bit more fluff!

Not all went as planned, though...

and I told myself BEFORE I started not to glue backwards!

Vintage Labels

The Graphics Fairy...oh, she is just BRILLIANT!  Her site is chalk-full of free vintage graphics that she even encourages you to get creative with. 

This fabulous label started out as "Preserves" on the top, but with a little smart erase editing and experimenting with fonts I changed it to "Joel's Pickles".   It's a little present for my husband, Joel who supplies our family with the only pickles we'll eat. 

We're very fotunate here in this windy burg to have a natural foods store that sells local honey in bulk. They prefer you to bring your own jar, so I've made a Wind Sewn honey jar with this label...

To attach to jars I print the label out on regular copy paper, spray with sealant (I prefer matte), cut out the label, spray with adhesive and attach to the jar.
