next you can decorate the top of the pail. using a circle cutter layer various size circles and glue them down with either Tombow MONO Adhesive Permanent, or MONO Power Bond. Either will work, just depends on how strong of a hold you would like (or who is going to be handling the pail. Power Bond stands up to little fingers really well.) on top of the circles add an embellishment or die cut with the Tombow Foam Tabs for added “POP”. and lastly add some ribbon. i added it in two places. first i cut a piece of ribbon to fit around the pail, laid the ribbon flat and applied Tombow MONO Power Bond to the backside of the ribbon and wrapped it round. secondly i cut several strips of ribbon to tie to the handle. i didn’t want my ribbon to fray, so i dipped the ends in Tombow MONO Aqua Liquid Glue. once it dries it works just like a fray check would.
wouldn’t these pails be great stuffed with all kinds of Tombow goodies?!?! off to fill them up…i suspect a few teachers might be the recipients of these pails this coming holiday!

raise your hand if LOVE the autumn season like i do?!?
and i am sure just like me, many of you enjoy a few crafts to spruce up your home this time of year?!?
for the last few years i have made place cards for the thanksgiving table.
to keep with my new crafty tradition, i have made the set for this year.
come see how i did it!
i used:
Tombow MONO Aqua Liquid Adhesive
Tombow MONO Permanent Adhesive Runner
circle punch
off-white cardstock – cut to 3 1/4 x 4 1/2
kraft colored cardstock – cut to 3 x 4 1/4
assorted orange pattern paper and cardstock
green cardstock scraps
dark brown cardstock scraps
first brush the Tombow Dual Brush Pen along the edges of the kraft cardstock pieces and the off-white cardstock pieces.
then fold the off-white pieces in half, and adhere the kraft piece to the front with the Tombow MONO Permanent Adhesive Runner
punch circles from orange pattern paper.
each pumpkin will need 4-5 circles.
fold all of the circles in half.
use Tomobw MONO Permanent Adhesive Runner and attach the folded circles together, back sides together.
i love the Tombow runners when i am doing a curvy project…the runner just follows the curves to make for a full coverage adhesive!
in between two of the circles sandwich a thin strip of green cardstock. these will become the vines.
use a pencil or other small cylinder to curl the green stripes. it is easier to curl them with the pencil and then work the curl into it by twisting the spiral into it.
then using theTombow Permanent Runner again, put adhesive on the back panels to adhere it to the front of the place card.
i used a thin line of Tombow MONO Aqua Liquid Glue along the back seam of the pumpkin, where it touched the placecard.
and i also used the Aqua on the backside of the pumpkin to attach the brown cardstock scrap to create the stem. once it was glued down i gently worked the paper to twist it.
the last thing i’ll do, when we finalize who is coming to our thanksgiving feast, would be to cut out some lettering with my die cut machine and use the Tombow MONO Glue Pen to adhere them to the front,
or use the Tombow Dual Brush Pens to write the guests names.
i know it is early…but happy thanksgiving! i truly appreciate all our blog followers and tombow lovers!

This week the Team at Tombow is sharing a Thought for the Day with you. I found this wonderful quote about gratitude and knew it was perfect for today’s post.
“There is not a more pleasing exercise of the mind
than gratitude.
It is accompanied with such an inward satisfaction
that the duty is sufficiently rewarded
by the performance.”~ Joseph Addison
I am sharing a thank you card that I created for my pal Theresa Momber.
You see, a couple of weeks ago, Theresa sent me this beautiful pink paradise card and her latest stamp set called Celebrate the Season that she illustrated for Gina K. Designs. The branch used above is from that set and the bird and word Thanks are from two of Theresa’s other sets. I started with a Kraft card base and then added some Memory Box print paper using Tombow Stamp Runner Permanent Adhesive and then added a frame that was popped up with Tombow Foam Tabs and the button and sentiment flag were attached with Tombow Power Tabs. I really like these as they are thinner than the Foam Tabs, but still give you strong hold and a little bit of lift. Give them a try, you will love them!

i love quotes. they are inspirational, motivational little tid bits to get you through the day. maybe to be reflective, maybe to make you laugh, but always something you need to hear.
i wanted something front and center that i would see everyday, so i made a little frame to set by the mirror. i used some of my favorite paper and stickers from October Afternoon’s Seaside collection, as well as a 6×6 frame, a metal clip and Tombow MONO Multi Liquid Adhesive and Tombow MONO Permanent Adhesive Roller.
I cut the background paper to 6×6 and then layered paper and stickers using the Permanent Adhesive Roller.
Then I slid it back into the frame, under the glass and used the Multi to secure a clip to the front, on top of the glass. It will take a while to set, but by golly it sticks!
So when it comes to adding a quote, you can use a permanent or dry erase marker directly on the glass…
or use the clip to hold a quote torn from a magazine or printed from the computer.
Just a little pick me up each morning…and appropriately, the first quote that i want to clip up is:
Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the Devil says “Oh crap, she’s up.” (apologies for lack of credit, as i do not know who originally said it…)
i’m trying to be that woman!

Hi there and happy Friday! I am so excited as this is my first official post as a Tombow Design Team member. I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to be chosen for this team. I can’t wait to jump in and get my feet wet.
This week we are getting ready for Halloween. I thought I would share a card I made with the adorable Witchy Prue digi image from By Lori Designs. I used cardstock from the Fancy Pants Oct 31 collection.
First, you will want to gather your image, cardstock, and adhesives. I colored little Prue with Tombow Irojiten colored pencils and then cut her out with my oval nesties dies.
I affixed all of the layers to the base card with Tombow Permanent Stamp Runner and then used Tombow Foam Tabs for the image and words.
Here she is all put together and ready to start her Halloween festivities. Isn’t she adorable?
See you soon,
Melissa
To follow the Halloween theme of the week I made a cute Halloween card perfect for a kid. I used mostly Basic Grey patterned paper. For the purple card I actually used white cardstock with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.
This cute little monster is from the Mini Monsters Cricut Cartridge and I also used Glossy Accents and googly eyes to make him extra cute.
I made a bow with Black and Orange Twine and I also wrapped it around the mat. The orange tag behind it is from the Once Upon A Princess Cartridge.
This old little fence was cut from the Paper Dolls Dress Up Cricut Cartridge and I embossed it with a Tim Holtz embossing folder. I also inked it with brown ink to show the embossing detail.
I stamped an inchie from InkaDinkaDoo stamp set and I punched out with my one inch circle punch and then I punched a little scalloped circle and I layered the sentiment. I also used Glossy Accents on the stamp.

i have read this book so many times…
to my kids, to my pre-kindergarten class…
children need to know they are loved, and this book gives so many wonderful examples of personalities, quirks and traits that parents love about their children.
each time i read it I knew that i had to make a scrapbook project based on this book. our challenge this week to create something based on a book pushed me to get it started.
i created a microsoft word document with the words from the book. there are two quotes to a page in two columns, and can easily be printed and cut in half vertically and/or horizontally to create the pages of the book. be sure to print a test page and adjust the wording once you choose what font you want.
(my book came out to be 4 ¼ x 4 ¾ because I didn’t print a test page. i’m making the mistakes so you don’t have too : } )
i wanted a gated album, so i used a piece of chipboard for the back and punched holes on either sides of the quote pages. i used my “cinch” binding tool from We R Memory Keepers to punch the holes and add the wire binding.)
then came the fun task of decorating it. this was a perfect project to use the wide array of Tombow adhesives available. I used Tombow MONO Multi to add pattern paper to the back cover, and Tombow MONO Adhesive Clear to add the “S” and “C” to the Hambly Screen Print/Transparency front cover. I used Tombow Power Bond to add the pictures and Tombow MONO Aqua for the embellishments. i used the strongest stuff, as i anticipate these albums will be looked at a lot. (Paper is from October Afternoon’s “Cherry Hill” and “Fly A Kite” collections)
here is the front cover before i put it together. i used the Dual Brush Pen to ink the edges of the letters, then attached them to the back side of the transparency.
a trick to using the MONO Adhesive Clear is to keep the application of the adhesive smooth. i use a surface i know i can rub the adhesive off of…and i’ll run the adhesive off the edge of the paper. that way it stays smooth and virtually invisible when it is used on the transparency.
i also like to do that when i have a tiny piece to add. take a look at this cherry stem. used the permanent adhesive runner on it and purposefully went off the edge. then i have full coverage and i’m not worried about the shape not sticking.
here are some of the other pages from the album.
did I mention i got a little ambitious and made one for each of my kids, that way it is personal and they don’t fight over it. i divided up the quotes from the story, about half for each book. however I made sure that when the quotes were divided i kept the rhyming ones together (it will make more sense when you read through the quotes listed on the microsoft word document). i also made sure the first two and the last two quotes appeared in each book.
i managed to use lots of my favorite “random” pictures from the last few months.
what book has moved you to create a project about it? let us know! we’d love to see your work!
if you read through to the end…. your reward is the word document (i hope…fingers crossed it links! email me at dolizah at hotmail dot com with “you are my i love you” in the subject line and i’ll send you the document).
