Slightly OT: but nice find on two peas

Marilyn, that is just exquisite! I would LOVE to try that! TFS :)

Marilyn, I've just checked out your latest work. Love the star album and the Nativity LO's. May I ask what the orangy strips are? Don't think I've ever seen something like that :)

Judy, SA

Judy...these things are not new work! I had taken everything off webshots with the intention of joining the two page spreads etc., as I had run out of space. The NativityLO's were the first LO's I ever did! The strips I think you are referring to are actually from a Little Sizzles Classic pad and joined together. I made slits in them and laced a red glittery sort of ribbon through them. You can see the same one here:

It save cutting up a 12 x 12 and the patterns are little tiny designs. Would be great to use for the little albums like the 6 x 6 you did already! Take care, Marilyn

Thanks Marilyn, They look so beautiful... I will have to give that a try! (Must admit, I've seen some of you in here talking about ModgePodge, but never knew what it was...lol STILL don't really, but will have to keep a look out when I next go to LSS). My folks built a house mid-last year too and have plenty of tiles left over, so I'm almost home-n-hosed! Thanks for sharing :) luv Cec...xxx

Oh my goodness! I actually went to check out the fiber thingies you made, clicked on the "lastes" and saw those LO's! Thanks for the link :)

Cec, try to look for the Podge in the decopage section of your craft stores. It's almost like a type of clear varnish to put over a finished project for protection. HTH

Thanks Judy, I'll keep a look out for it. Cec...xxx

Cec....it is something like this

Modge Podge can be used as a sealer and/or adhesive and if you read the description given on the link it seems fairly similar process to what was done with the photo tiles. HTH, Marilyn

Thanks Marilyn, I'm keen to try this :) Cec...xxx

How pretty! Knowing this group of talented people, I bet we some of these in the future. :-)

That sounds like a fun project to do, and what a great idea for a gift! I used to frequent a LSS in Crawfordsville, IN, and the owner sold pictures tiles very similiar to that, and he charged $20 for each one! I knew there had to be an easier way! TFS!
