Homemade Washi Tape

My friend, Candace/Paper Paradise has made her own washi tape from a tutorial that she has posted on her blog.  Looks awesome.. I think I'll go out and get me some masking tape and try it..  Here's what Candace's looks like:
                                              PAPER PARADISE
Head on over to my friends blog to watch the video on how to make this homemade washi tape.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And here's a way to add the real washi tape to a wax paper box so you can use the teeth on the box to cut your tape.  Great storage idea.  But I think I'm going to find a way to place my homemade washi tape on this wax paper with out cutting it from the box.  Does that make sense?
I was thinking if I was outside and rolled out a long sheet, then placed a heavy object to hold the paper down-I'd be able to spray spritz or paint on it, let it dry-stamp and then roll it back up.  I can do this in stages after I've used the tape.  Sounds like a hassle to do but might be worth it for those that don't have alot of space.

How do you store your washi tape?

Maya Road Label Canvas Album

I love this album.  This is our youngest DGS.  Such a cutie!!

I've never worked with a canvas album before but it was really easy to stamp with my Tim Holtz stamps/inks and use my Shimmerz Spritz.  I added some tulle from Tall Mouse Crafts, Webster's trim, Maya Road chipboard, Tim Holtz {trinket pins, sprocket gears, muse tokens, grunge paper},  Ali Edwards P365 date stamp, Webster's sparklers, A Million Memories ribbon/trim, Tim Holtz Salvage Stickers, Pom Pom Yarn from Tall Mouse Crafts.   I did forget a set of pages because I have to take all my photos with my phone and its really hard to see the pictures.  2/3 page added

Received my prize pack from Scrap With Stacey

Here's what I won from SCRAP WITH STACY!  I was so excited to get it in the mail. The only Tim Holtz products I've bought are the inks, alcohol inks, mister, distressing tool, tiny attacher and the fades.  I've always wanted some of his stamps. But living on social security disb gives you a limited amount of spending money.   Came to me really quick too!  Thank you so much, Scrap With Stacy!!  Now if I was in the mood to scrap and be creative, that would be great too!

Loss of a sweet online friend..........................

So sad for the loss of a dear online friend who has been battling cancer.  I never met her IRL but was lucky enough to have her as a friend online.  Such a sweet and caring person.  She will be missed so much.  Scrap Sisters Studio will miss our daily chats with one of our sisters.  Saying {{PRAYERS!}} and sending {{HUGS!}} to her family.

God looked around his garden
and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth,
and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beatiful
He always take the best
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
and the hills were hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids,
and whispered, "Peace be thine,"
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

From a Thomas Kinckade card from my Mom's memorial
