Hi everyone~today Helmar is partnering with the fabulous Nikki Sivils for the entire week. I had the opportunity to work with her paper line called "Summer" even though the name of my blog post is Spring Party, here in Texas, Spring is close to Summer so the paper was a good fit!! I had so many cute pictures, I decided to do a double layout.
The papers are so cute and the images are adorable for children~the papers included a banner, so I took advantage of that! I traced my lines on the paper and then sewed with floss to get the line that would hold my banner. I attached the banners pieces with Helmar's Zapdots.
The heart buttons are by Epiphany Crafts. The dew drops by The Robin's Nest were adhered with Helmar's gemstone glue. On the small pieces of pattern paper I used Helmar's Professional Acid Free Glue, with a paint brush, to adhere them to the paper. A great way to get the glue right where you want it. I enjoyed working with Nikki Sivils beautiful paper line, it could not have been more perfect for what I was wanting to scrapbook. On a side note, the Spring Party ended up costing Nini and Grandy about $75.00 ~next time I'm told to bring mayonnaise and turkey sandwich that's what I'm going to do ~ maybe, probably not. Thanks for stopping by today ~ see ya soon! by: Connie Mercer~Helmar DT

It made me laugh to see your initials on the glue runner - those things are like pens - you can never find one where you think you left it! They vanish onto someone else's table all the time :-) Lovely page though.
