Marilyn, when I was little the ONLY WAY mom and dad could get me to sleep was to drive me around in dad's old chevy pickup! Luckily I overcame that and can now drive happily and fully awake in our chevy truck!! lol! ( I love the white walls!)

Me too. I had forgotten about white walls. I remember being asked, as an adult, purchasing new tires for my car, if I wanted the white wall side of the tires to show. So I guess somewhere through the years some company have us a choice.

Thanks for that info Kristi! I thought you must have bound it yourself and commented to my hubby that I might need to get some sort of binding device having seen how lovely the book you made me came out. I am going to need the big tape hun for sure. Thanks again! :)

Sarah - I thought about the adhesive more last night. I also used Aleene's Original Tacky Glue for some of the heavier items.

Scor Tape is a very good double stick tape. I use the quarter inch for lots of projects. You can find it at Blitsy, Wal mart and Amazon. A great glue that you can purchase at Wal-Mart is Fabri tac by Beacon. Then there is Art Glitter Glue! I love this stuff. Problem is I think everyone else must love it too because it is hard to find in stock. It cannot be mailed once temperatures fall below freezing.
I have purchased it from the May May Made It
store, and Blitsy.
I hope this helps.

Thanks!! I usually use the Elmers glue runners and they are pretty good but the hold is just not as strong as I would like for some things. And I use a lotof hot glue, but that is also not always the best option for paper crafting. Thanks for all these tips. :)

I just got an email notifying me that May May has Art Glitter Glue back in stock. $12.98 for 8oz. They will not ship it if the temps where you live or where they ship from is lower than 40°. Seems like they are in the south...perhaps Alabama?????

Art glitter glue is awesome but I personally love the fabritac for my journaling and paper art. A little goes a long way and holds well and wont crinkle up the paper! :)

Yes, that is what I like about both of them. The Fabri tac is able to hold much like hot glue but does not dry as quickly as hot glue...But my fingers are not burned or blistered either.

Dearest Sarah,
Thank You so much for my beautiful Smashbook. Words can’t describe the WOWness of it. You made my first return swap so special. You spoiled me. I can’t wait to fill my book. Did you make that little ray of sunshine tote ? And the notecards are just one of my favorite things. Bless you.

Yay!!! I am SO happy you like it Maddie! I did make the tote, it is made from a vintage flat sheet. :) I thought the fabric was really pretty and I am so glad you like it. Welcome back!

Oh! I LOVE it. I love vintage, especially purses or totes & stationery. Your book is so beautiful. Even the hubby commented so & that my friend is to be taken as an honor. He doesn’t do it it often, lol.
