Tape and More Tape

7 Gypsies Brand tape


I got a few new rolls of tape this week. I really love the red and yellow polka dotted one. It has a splotchy hand painted look. I am driving myself crazy trying to round up all the different tapes I have bought. My bad habits keep me searching for stuff all the time. I will grab something and take it into another room to use, then instead of taking it back where it came from, I will lay it down right there. Then it gets covered with something else and then it's lost. I keep thinking there is a ghost in this place, who keeps hiding my stuff...especially my Tim Holtz tape. I bought a package of the tissue tapes, brought it home, put it aways somewhere, then couldn't find it. I thought maybe I had just thought I bought it, so I bought another package. Now it is missing..never opened, never used. Grr...
This tray shows just a few of the ones I am trying to keep together, and several of the ones that I thought were there, are missing.

Playing with Diecuts

I spent a few hours this past week-end playing with the new diecuts from Tim Holtz, his birdcage and Tattered florals. Also a couple others. I don't use my diecut machine very often, but when I do I like to make a marathon of it, then have them on hand for stickers and embellishments.

Made these using Starbucks fliers, insides of security envelopes, some fabric. Took some to the gals at Starbucks.


Assorted florals and birds, some are cut from adhesive metal, hence the reflection. Not an excellent photo. The birdcage is really cute cut out of cork.
