This week we are showcasing the color Honeysuckle, which was the color of the year 2011. This is the perfect color for that special day when we declare our love to that special person in your life. Is also a good time to start preparing our kiddies treat boxes, cards and other gifts, so pay attention to these weeks posts because we will be filling you with awesome ideas for Valentine’s Day.
This mailbox cost me only $1 and dressed it up with 4 x12 patterned paper, ribbons and some stickers. For gluing the cardstock I used the Tombow Stamp Runner and for the embellishments I used the Mono Multi Glue. I also made a coordinating card with the cutest cherub which I colored with my Tombow Dual Brush Pens. I paper pierced the cloud and used Tombow Foam Tabs. The card is size 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 which fits perfectly in the mailbox.
I can’t believe how cute this cherub looks with Honeysuckle hair!! I love how bright my Tombow Dual Brush Pens are and not to mention how incredibly easy they are to use for beginners like me.
I hope you liked this romantic project!!

Is the last ABC Week of the year!! I hope you enjoyed this year with us as much as I enjoyed being on this awesome team!! For this project I felt like doing something a little more free and for me instead of making something that needed to be perfect for my daughter or someone else. I just came across a list call 33 Ways To Stay Creative and I just loved it!! This is a must project for every craftroom or crafty friend and I think we all need to take a little something of this awesome list. It helped me a lot!!
For this project I went simple green, meaning that I used Toilet Paper Rolls for the base of this mini and then used 6×6 patterned paper and Mono Multi Liquid Glue to cover the rolls. The Mono Multi Liquid Glue also work for embellishments like the felt flower I made, the feather and of course the paper butterfly. The great thing about a mini like this is that you don’t need to buy extra stuff to make it, so if your New Year’s Resolution is to hoard less paper or embellishments this is a great project. I just used whatever I had laying around my craftroom. I used 5 toilet paper rolls and on the inside I took a 2×8 piece of cardstock and fold it in half, that way each piece had 4 pages. That was a total of 20 spaces to write the 33 ways to stay creative. I picked my favorite ten and used them for the outside of the paper rolls and the rest were displayed on the cards. Instead of printing the list or using my handwriting I used lots of alpha stickers, punch outs and my label maker. I used my Tombow Dual Brush Pens to doodle, color stamps and stamp some of my images.

I used a lot of alphas and mixed some of them up because for some reason there are never enough vowels, r or s. I also used decorative tapes, border punches and paper scraps. I used my Stamp Runner for the scraps, the stamp feature of the Stamp Runner is great for those tiny pieces of paper. I also used some free downloads to print.

I loved making this kind of inspirational project, without a doubt I’ll be making a few of these in 2012. Well, I think this project takes care of #33. Do you think you are in the mood to try some of the things of this list?
I know some Tombow Products that can help you…
I hope you liked this project!!
Take Care and See Ya Next Year!!
This week we got to play with the new line from Fancy Pants Oct 31 which was a great opportunity for me to scrapbook the Halloween pictures I had left from last year. It was my daughter’s first Trick or Treat. This line has a lot of purple which went great with her Princess Jasmine costume.
The first page is Magic and for the purple I used Bewitched.
The second page I used was Night and I used Rusty Hinge Distress Ink for the border.
In this double layout I tried clustering the products and I really liked how it turned out.
In this part I used the Cards page, Alpha Stickers, Rub Ons (shoe) and Chipboard Elements (hats).
This is from the Cards page and I used the Oct 31 Rub On. Under the card I used a chipboard sticker and above the card I did some doodling with the Tombow Groovy Dual Brush Pen Set.
These are chipboard stickers and one of them is a journaling spot.
Those white swirls is a Rub On, it worked great on the picture. The purple shape is a big cut from Gypsy Wanderings and I used Dusty Concord Distress Ink around it. I also used Tombow Groovy Dual Brush Pen Set to outline the shape.
I used the chipboard stickers and I overlapped Fancy Pants buttons and I used floss to tie the buttons together.
In this card I used glitter glue and I mated the card with the Magic sheet. Below the card I used a Rub On I also did some matting with the Night sheet.
On the Night sheet I used Glossy Accents and glitter glue to make the lamp stand out.
Don’t miss tomorrow’s post to see more Fancy Pants!!
I hope you enjoyed the post!!
Take Care!!

is it cliche to say that i love my family…. and they are who i love creating for?
well, it is true. i love the anticipation of creating something and hoping that they are going to love it. i love taking the time to create handmade projects. i love putting myself into something for someone else.
here are some i’ve posted on the blog – christmas ornament, christmas traditions scrapbook, recipe scrapbook, and the framed daddy decor.
i love the line from the chorus of “you spin me round” – right round baby right round, like a record baby, right round, round round!
that is how i feel about my family, they spin me… spin my world…and mostly in good ways. (we all have our moments!)
when i take pictures i start to scrapbook them in my head. i contemplate color schemes and whether i’ll use them on a layout or altered piece or create a mini book to show them off. last fall we visited the pumpkin patch. i was so anxious to scrapbook with my pictures that i created a circle album. i couldn’t wait til all the pictures were printed so i grabbed a few pictures and kept it simple.
these three people are the most important things in my life.
let’s keep on spinning!
gather your adhesive. and to answer your question, yes, i used each of these. i’ll explain…
gather anyhing you think you might want to use. my theme was “you spin me” so i gathered any tools or embellishments that were circular.
here is the title page.
circles cut with the creative memories circle cutting system. lettering is hand cut from an old EK Success lettering template. each letter is also “inked” by using a Tombow Dual Brush Pen N15 (black). the brush tip is great for getting in the little corners of the small letters.
i cut large circles from several pieces of paper, cardstock and patterns and glued them back-to-back with the Tombow MONO Multi Glue. it adds stability to the pages.
i used the Tombow MONO Glue Pen to attach the letters and small embellishments. and Tombow MONO Permanent runner to add the paper embellishments and Tombow MONO Adhesive Dots Roller to glue down the pictures. my reason for this would be because i am indecisive and i like the ability to move my pictures around til i get it just right.
this page is glued to the back of the title page – pattern paper to cardstock. it holds up really well, and the glue doesn’t get the papers too wet, therefore – no warping!
my son’s page – name, pictures and a few embellishments
here is my daughter’s side – again, name, pictures and embellishments
on this page i wanted to use the conchos, but because that pages are back-to-back i didn’t want to set them all the way through. (that would be a little unsightly on the back). so i cut off the prongs that wouldn’t be going though paper (much like i did here with the back of a brad) and used the glue pen to hold them in place. the conchos go through the green paper strip, but the other sides have a bit of glue under them to keep them from sliding.
here i am using the glue pen on the letters. so easy and fast. and because the formula in the glue pen does not adhere to your skin, when picking up little letters to put them on your project they will not stick to you! the glue flows pretty easily, just push the roller ball in by putting the tip on your project and applying pressure. when the glue starts to flow trace around your letter (embellishment).
how about a button? yup, the glue pen works on that too!
while we are talking about love…
my love for tombow was sealed with the introduction of the glue pen. don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t that i didn’t love the other adhesives before, but the glue pen just sent my heart a-flutter! so many uses. so many projects. so versatile!
however, we all know that i really do love the adhesive dots too, so much that i carry them around with me.
can a girl love two adhesives at the same time? leave a comment today and later this week Joanna will pick winners to receive a fun package of everything the design team loves!

Homemade crafts always make the perfect gift for the holidays. Whether the present is homemade or it is just a personalized hang tag, a little creative, personalized flair will make it a memorable gift for a friend or family member of any age.
As something that will be heavily handled you want to make sure that all of the details are secure. Create professional and durable holiday gift tags using the MONO Aqua Liquid Glue Adhesive.
The MONO Aqua Liquid Adhesive has dual applicators in one ergonomic dispenser and a pen tip for small areas or a fine line of glue and a broad tip for large areas. The strong permanent bond goes on clear and dries clear, making it ideal for photos, cardstock, fibers or buttons. Acid-free and non-toxic, this adhesive is perfect for any project.
We recently presented at the Art and Materials Trade Show at SCAD and saw firsthand how students are using our adhesives and dual brush pens in a variety of different classes. Seeing all of the great ways that students are using Tombow products spurred us in a new direction and we decided to reach out to students. We are proud to announce “How do you Tombow?” a competition for art students.
We are looking for students who use Tombow products to upload photos or videos explaining how they use Tombow Dual Brush Pens, Adhesives or Correction Tape. Once loaded on the Tombow Facebook page, one person will be selected and named the winner of the Tombow competition and be the recipient of a full-line professional dual brush pen set.

Long days and caffeine overloads can often lead to crooked storyboards and sticky tape residue left as evidence of your mistake. Every graphic designer or illustrator knows there is no room in the budget for error when working with an illustration board. Give yourself some breathing room the next time you go to create a storyboard and use our removable adhesive.
The MONO Adhesive Removable will help you cover your tracks! With a removable bond for self-sticking and removing, you can replace your storyboard multiple times without going through illustration boards like they are cheap paper. Simply rub to remove the adhesive from the surface without tearing the paper or leaving residue or a stain behind.
The removable bond is acid-free and safe to use on photos and cardstock. With an easy-to-refill snap-in cartridge, you can recreate and replace the look of your storyboard to your satisfaction.
You have the power to create the perfect storyboard the first time, or at least give the impression it was the first time. So, if at first you don’t succeed, try again using the Mono Adhesive Removable.

Ideal for forms and spreadsheets, the MONO Correction Tape Pen is the business professional’s secret weapon. The MONO Correction Tape Pen will prepare you to handle any last minute mistake in any situation.
This weekend we will be attending the 4th annual Art Materials Trade Show presented by the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). The trade show will help fund student scholarships and educate students about the art and design materials industry.
We are excited to share tips and tricks with visiting artists and SCAD students throughout the weekend. Marie Browning, Tombow designer, will be giving six educational presentations to SCAD students in a variety of classes demonstrating new and innovative uses of our graphite pencils, erasers, dual brush pens and adhesives. Our products will be offered for sale at discounts at our booth located on the lower level of the River Club Exhibition Hall.
SCAD is the most comprehensive art and design university in the world, offering more degree programs and specializations than any other art and design university. Attending the trade show at SCAD is a great opportunity for us to educate and collaborate with students and artists about our diverse product portfolio and gather qualitative market feedback on which Tombow products best meet their artistic goals.
