April Showers Bring May Flowers!!

Happy May Day Everyone!!!

I hope you all had a super May 1st :)

I did...this a.m. I hit our town wide garage sale then went with dh to a tractor part swap meet. Found some cool goodies at both places for way cheap! Can't pass up a bargain!!

Several people e-mailed or posted about having images wrinkle up when they were trying the Acrylic Image Transfer Technique.... The image buckled after applying it to the acrylic/glass piece. If this happens there was too much Glossy Accents involved. You need to use a small amount and squish any excess out when you press on the image. I'm going to try to make a video tomorrow of the whole process...sometimes it's easier to show you than it is to explain it but when I apply GA, I squirt it on the acrylic then swipe my finger across the piece to make a nice even layer ~ this ensures even coverage and it takes up the excess GA. You can then use what's on your finger to coat one or two more pieces (depending on how much you squirted out and how large your acrylic pieces are. HTH!!

Now, I've had many people ask for some more vintage images and more quotes. The vintage images are easier than the quotes so that's what I'll start off with. To stick in line with the day and the little saying in the title I thought I'd share some vintage flower images today!!

Some of these are just vintage flowers, others are vintage Birthday Greetings with flowers and more!

Hope you enjoy!!

Vintage Flower Images

(Note: some of these images are better than others. I have rec'd some from friends that were not as large as some of the other images...they still work pretty good for smaller crafts.)

I will try to get some quotes around soon...they take quite a bit longer because I have quotes written, typed, saved on my computer, etc. I have to gather them all up in one place, type them up and sort them out when I post so it's something I like to do in my spare time. I know I haven't posted any in a while but I'll try to get some up soon :)

I didn't realize so many people liked the vintage images but I will post more of those every so often as well. Do you think you'd like vintage post card images too? I've got a nice collection of those but wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in them. If you are I can scan and post those too!

Also if you didn't realize it tomorrow is National Scrapbook Day :)

I'm sure you've all got places to be and people to see but hopefully you'll get a chance to play a bit with some paper, inks and photos if that's your thing...if not, at least take a bit of time and get your fingers inky if only for a few minutes!!

I'll be sharing some of my favorite sb lo's tomorrow so be sure to stop in if you have a few free minutes!

TTFN Friends!!!
