Helmar Design Team

A story and a publication.

So, let me tell you a little Helmar story. I was at my Mother's new scrapbook store, and I was doing up some displays for the window. I was making giant accordian flowers, so I needed the pieces to adhere strongly and quickly, so I didn't have to stand around holding them til they dried. Well, I had to use what was there, and sadly it was a different brand of adhesive. Well, let me tell you, I very nearly threw the silly stuff across the room. Nothing would stick, I was getting very frustrated and cranky, and time was running out. So, I made an "executive" decision to open up a new bottle of Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive and add it to the stock used for classes. Well, those pieces stuck in no time, I got them all made really quickly, and nothing got thrown. Happy Days, thanks to Helmar coming to the rescue!

Here's the finished product.

Now onto some really exiting news. I have recently made the designteam for a new magazine called Australian Scrapbook Ideas, and here is my very first article, using lots of Helmar adhesives, which I also teamed up with gorgeous Bella papers from prefered partner Best Creation Inc. I'm so happy with how this all came out. Soemthing else I noticed is that everything came back from the publishers in one piece. That has not always been the case in my former "pre-Helmar" life :)

It's always nice to see that Helmar name around the place.

Thanks so much for looking.

Somerset Memories August 2010

Hi this is Gayle sharing some scrap booking tips with you today on the Helmar Blog.

 I had  emailing back and forth with Tracy a few weeks ago.  I realized I had never posted  pages that I had published in the  last Somerset Memories magazine. The magazine came out in  August 2010, in fact the new publication will be out in April 2011.

This  is one of the pages published in the magazine. This article was called  Getting The Picture. I use Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner  to attach the photo to the page. Most ofthe elements are attached to the page with Helmar 450. The birds in the right corner are cut out of a separate sheet of paper and are raised off of the main sheet of paper with Helmar Zap Dots.

 

Below are some pages that were  published in the Autumn Somerset Memories magazine.  The pages are cardboard with molding paste added over the top. I used Helmar 450 to adhere most of the page elements. The photos ares mounted on card board usingHelmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner and then attached with Helmar Zap Dots.  I love using Helmar product and feel confident that all of my page elements will still be in place even after they are mailed to the publisher. How many times have you looked back at a page you have put together only to see that something has fallen off of the page. Unfortunatley for me I do not put mine in to a sleeve right away and by then I have usually lost the element or letter.

 
 
 

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you are visiting with us daily. Don't forget to try out for our Guest Designer contest.
