My Go-To Embellishment

Labels: , , , , | at 7:14 AM


So, you are working on a scrapbook layout or card and something is missing--or you just need a pinch of color in an empty spot? What do you reach for? My go-to embellisments are buttons. I don't buy any overly-expensive buttons. I have jars separated by color and when I need a little something, that is normally where I reach.


They are great for the centers of flowers, or tie a piece of ribbon in a bow or knot through the center. I also just cluster them in empty space or add them to pages that have circles.


So the next project you do that leaves you wanting to add a little extra embellishment, just remember those buttons!


'Til next time :)

Prima Marketing

Labels: , , , , , , , | at 1:51 PM

I'm very excited to be getting Prima Marketing Inc. supplies at BBG. My order has been placed and will hopefully ship soon. I actually just can't wait to start using them! They will be listed for sale as soon as they arrive. The first shipment will include many flowers and I just had to get the WHOLE umbrella line. Until then, I can brainstorm... Heather

Metamorphoisis

Labels: , , , , , | at 1:52 PM

With the new year, I wanted to take BippityBoppityGlue to a new level and introduce new services. My first acquisition was http://www.bippityboppityglue.com/. My new shop will offer all of the supplies I use in my creations for sale from companies such as Prima Marketing Inc., Lily Bee Design, Jenni Bowlin, Cosmo Cricket, Crate Paper....and the list keeps growing. Items are being added daily.
I will also be offering BBG Friday Night Picks. Every Friday night, themed scrapbook kits will be listed for sale. The kits will include high quality papers, florals, fibers and embellishments--all within the same theme at an affordable price. The first kits will be listed the first Friday in March.
One of BBG's biggest changes so far this year is thanks to graphic designer Jennifer Stuart of studio71design on Etsy http://www.studio71design.etsy.com/. This blog and my Etsy shop have received a makeover and Jennifer gave my shop the exact look I was going for. I have gone to Jen for a few jobs now and she continues to wow me! She is also responsible for the design of my other shop, http://www.monstrocity.etsy.com/. Thanks so much, Jen!
I thank all of my Facebook fans and Twitter followers for the support so far and continue to look forward to growing with you!
Lots of Love,
Heather

Support Handmade!

Labels: , , , , | at 2:44 PM


In the spirit of trying to help out other creators of handmade products, I'm trying to take the time and buy things I normally bought at the store through the handmade marketplace. My first acquisitions came from http://www.lonestarwaxworks.etsy.com/. I purchased the 8 oz. square mason jars in Sweet Orange and Chili Pepper and the Pumpkin Cheesecake.


I first have the say the packaging is adorable. I love the mason jars with the WANTED "posters" on the front and the store's name and phone number. They both smell awesome and I'm burning the Sweet Orange and Chili Pepper as I type. It is quite refreshing! You can definitely smell the orange. I'm saving the Pumpkin Cheesecake candle for Thanksgiving.


I will definitely be a repeat customer to this shop. There are many scents to choose from and the shop also carries room spray, tea lights and Varmints -B Gone hand sanitizer (how cute is that!). Thanks LonestarWaxWorks!

Add some googly eyes

Labels: , , , , , | at 9:50 AM


I'm not sure if it is a new trend or if it has just been striking my curiosity lately, but I've really been noticing googly eyes. I think it is such a fun way to make little creatures stand out. Make them a little creepier by adding googlies of different sizes.
I used Bo Bunny's Boo Crew collection and added some googly eyes on these gift tags.

Loving the colors of Halloween

Labels: , , , , , , | at 9:19 AM

As I gear up for my Fall craft shows, I am completely mesmerized shopping for Fall and Halloween. I just love the colors of Fall. My favorite collection so far is Boo to You by My Mind's Eye. This is an adorable Halloween line using muted colors. The little monsters are just adorable!

Check them out at:

http://www.mymindseye.com/BooToYou.asp.

Also a bit non-traditional, I have found spider web place mats and table runners. Cut them up and use them as web accents on your crafts and/or scrapbook pages.

Check back for some pics of my completed projects:)
