Scrap-Tacular Summer

Hey there and happy Saturday!! Looks like I'm bringing up the rear on Scrap-Tastic week!   Have you enjoyed all of the different projects created with this Scrap-Tacular kit?   I know I certainly have!  There's no denying it, the Helmar Hotties ROCK!

All of the summery goodness inside this kit brought to mind a photo that I'd taken of my son in Jamaica a few summers ago.  All of the elements worked perfectly with the colors in the photo, too. 

I used Purple Cows 2-1n-1 Combo Trimmer, Helmar Premium Craft Glue, Helmar Quick-Fix Adhesive Runner and Zapdots (black) to put together this fun layout!

I used Helmar Premium Craft Glue to layer 2 buttons from the kit; the top one was threaded with twine first.  Now that I have Helmar, anytime I add a bow to my project, I put Premium Craft Glue on the knot so I don't have to worry about it unraveling.  The great thing is it dries clear and no one knows it's there!

 

There was no way in the world I was going to stitch all 30+ buttons seen here...insert more Helmar Premium Craft Glue and I have a very cute, very textured sun in just a few short minutes!  I squeezed a generous amount of adhesive around the sun and started adhering the buttons.  I popped the sun up on Zapdots so that it would really stand out.

 

I love how many different uses I got out of the Fancy Pants Rustic Sun Paper!  I hand cut journaling AND 3 embellishments from it!  I adhered the button to this palm tree with premium craft glue and added zapdots to the upper half.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today!  Don't forget to pick up some Helmar Products and show off your ideas...we're on facebook! 

Have a great first Saturday of SUMMER!!!
