Creativity with Sealah Tape

I have been having fun with sealah no sew tape.

Sealah is a clear, very thin double sided adhesive. The tape has been a great fix for adding artful elements to the traveling journals I am sharing today.

I sent this journal off almost two months ago, a friendship inspired theme.   

I also completed a french feeling journal this week.

At the moment, I am still working on a garden themed project.

Very happy the double-sided tape worked so well applying silk flowers, fabric, ribbons, paper, lace, glitter, wood and pretty fringe to each artful creation. Quick results... I didn't pull out my E6000 or glue gun at all this week!

Hugs to my blogging friend Beverly from How Sweet The Sound who began this traveling journal group. We began the journal adventure in January and will complete it in early December. Each journal will return to their original owner before Christmas. What a special gift it will be filled with special touches from ten women. 

Interested in buying some sealah tape for your next artful project? If you have never used the tape beofre I would recommend the 5 yard variety pack to try first. Click Here

My Mom invented sealah tape almost ten years ago...latest publication her product is featured in;

Better Homes and Gardens (Do It Yourself) this month. Thank you to Designer John Loecke, he has been such a huge supporter of parents company and product line...he includes sealah tape in many wonderful published home decor projects. Congrats to you both!

Have a great weekend friends,

Wednesday Feature

Blogging extravaganza Wednesday! Are you ready for my next two features?

The first blog of the day I am sharing is Scarlett Clay from blue, purple and Scarlett.

Scarlett is an amazing artist and friend. We met in blog-land over five years ago. Each visit is filled with art, mixed media and captivating projects. I have told Scarlett on a few occasions that we are kindred spirits who share faith, family, and art.

Here are two examples of Scarlett's beautiful creativity. I love this mixed media art she created and the artful easter basket is stunning.

Please stop by and say hello to Scarlett, you will truly be blessed by your visit.

My second blog to share with you today is sweet Alison's blog called oopseydaisy. A darling blog that hosts blog parties every week on Wednesdays where fellow bloggers can share their passion and projects.

She also has a great eye for special events, parties and props! Look at this charming set up Alison did for her son's second birthday. I love it!

Alison's shares DIY projects and inspires her readers to create their own artful projects. She shared this cute picket fence she and her husband made this week.

Stop by oopsey daisy to check out the story that goes along with the fence and take a peek at the creative projects shared each week.  

You will be smiling when you stop by both these ladies blogs!

Two very special artists.

Happy Wednesday,

Ten Traveling Journals

 

Ten Journals, Ten Women, tons of creative fun.

I was asked to participate in a group of artful women to create journals that would travel from artist to artist to share our creativity.

The journals could have any theme we wanted but needed to reflect something we love.

I chose the theme of Travels by the Sea... 

On one of my flea market adventures I found a vintage Cash ledger book dating back from the 40's. I was so excited this would be come the base for my journal! 

I used a lot of Sealah No Sew Tape to embellish each page created.

Such a fun project putting each page together and yes I did get a little carried away adding each element. 

 

 Growing up in Southern California, beach trips were a big part of my days away and holidays. 

 

 I added a page for the ladies to take a treasure out of a sea bag.

 

 Another page for the ladies to choose a bookmark. 

 

 They will discover a page of mermaid ramblings by the sea...

 

Each journal will travel one by one to each particpant, I'm mailing my "Circle of Friends Journal" out this morning, it's off to the first destination in Texas.

I hope my friend Nancy from "My Crafty little page" enjoys my theme and has fun adding her designs!

I am really looking forward to recieving Dana's journal first from "The Stone Rabbit", I can't wait to get creative using her theme, whatever that may be and add a couple pages.

What a totally artful way to connect with others around the nation.

A big hug & thank you to Beverly from "How Sweet the Sound" for connecting us all together!

More fun pictures and updates to come...

Have a great week friends,
