all started with empty paper towel rolls.

the images are from graphic 45---on the boardwalk

the patterned paper is from k&co---portabello road

--some of the embellishments like the star, happy days, measure twice..., old stamp have been with me for a long while. 

the measuring tape is a border from k&co too, the staples are from tim holtz so is the ink i used to distress. 

some glitter glue from g-studio, wire from my supplies and the adhesive you use is very important. you need something like red tape or the scor tape i used on these.

i also stitched the bottom of the pouches using a decorative stitch. 

oh!... and i used the all night media liquid embossing on the star and the  measure twice embellishment and..... i made the accordion flower 3/4 of an inch and it gave me a bit of hard time...grr! :P and..that tape you see is from my first aid kit---i distressed it very well if you ask me, hehe

i think i like them a lot.
