Make Your Own Stick Pins & Flags (and a giveaway!)

Need just one more thing on your page but you don't know what?  Down to a few scraps and not much else?  Have some *other* crafty stuff hanging around?  Then maybe I can help!

Here are the flags and stick pins I made and used with the MME Indie Chic Citron collection this month:

Flags and stick pins turn out to be pretty easy to make with a few supplies that you may already have on hand.  And if you don't - no worries.  For less than $10 and a quick stop at a local hobby shop, you can have enough stuff to keep you (and maybe a lucky scrappy buddy) in flags and pins for a while.  In fact, I'll bet if you know a beader, you can trade a stack of handmade cards for everything you need.  Throw in some chocolate too, and she might let you walk away with some crystals! 

You'll need super glue, head pins 2" or longer, seed beads, some larger beads, spacers, and 1/2" strips of paper and/or banner stickers.  The flower print paper was just my reference for finding the right colors of larger beads out of my stash.  A word about beads:  Notice the bag of "bead soup"?  Those are just leftovers from other projects or things the kids had.  Most beaders I know have a bag of leftovers like this.  And would be glad to unload it... remember the chocolate!!!  Otherwise, you can pick up a cheap collection of beads at a craft store.  Cheap is perfect and grab bags are great!

I use fewer beads for flags.

Assembling the flags and stick pins are pretty straight-forward.  Put a few beads on the head pins.  If it looks good to you, then you've done it right!  Use the super glue to hold the bottom bead in place.  I like to put a little glue on the head pin between the last and second-to-last bead.  As I push the last bead in place, it runs into the glue and sticks into place.  For flags, just fold the paper or stickers around the pin, and trim the end.

Look familiar?  Yup, those ended up on a card!

Using head pins results in pins that won't poke you - or your page protectors.

And now about that giveaway... one randomly selected commenter will win the 6 stick pins shown directly above!  You have until the next post goes up to enter.  Good luck - and I hope you'll try making your own!

Freaky Fast Page #3 and a Giveaway!!

Happy Thursday! Frances here to share my final layout using the Freaky Fast Formula of the month! If you missed the first post, you can check it out HERE. Like I mentioned before, I created my formula to basically "get more pages done"...the TSR motto! Just in case you forgot, here is the formula...

1. Cardstock Background
2. 8 X 10 patterned paper
3. 6 X 12 patterned paper
4. 3 X 12 patterned paper
5. 1 1/2 X 12 patterned paper

And here is the steps to completing LAYOUT #3 using the formula...

1. Collect a few pics.
2. Cut your patterned paper to the dimensions stated above.
3. Push the paper around your cardstock till you achieve the look you want, or simply copy my layout below!
4. Adhere and EMBELLISH! It is that easy!!

And my third and final FREAKY FAST PAGE...

Life in the Fast Lane

This layout was created using Girl's Paperie Kitch from our July kit, and just like the weeks prior, the placement of the paper came together super easy!! The main difference between this layout and the others, is that the paper placement is at the top of the layout! Who would know that it would make such a different looking layout, right? Again, I am super surprised at just how different the layouts look by just using a different collection and shifting some paper. This layout...35 minutes...NO KIDDING!! Wooooohoooo for that!!

Here is a look at all 3 of the layouts together...to get the full effect!!

Layout #1

Layout #2

Layout #3

I hope you enjoyed my FREAKY FAST PAGES feature this month! And I think you just might see this again...what do you think? Let me know if you would like to see this again by leaving me a comment in this post! I will choose a winner randomly to win a yummo prize of scrappy goodies!!! I will post the winner next Thursday, July 28th!
