EPHEMERA DAY TWO..

 Hello everyone,

So day two was a very successful day too making ephemeras and I'm going to share with you and hoping I don't repeat a few things as I mixed up the photos so I'll do my best..


These packaging panels are the easiest ever to use up.



Fold the top down, glue,  flip and trim and throw sticker numbers on them and 
done..


I make this design with these panels a lot because I buy too much stuff..


but I make sure I use it all up..



side packaging, cover and serve.


decorate with papers and stickers.



left over circles from the specimen files I made


and going to use everyone of those, no waste.




these were ATC's that were too small and I added another card
and made a fold and have used them quite often..


these ones were leftovers and decoded to use up my circles on them..


So I did.


and made them into half circle pockets and added tiny tags.


I had some tiny tags already stamped so only had on to do and messed it up, 
one job Chrissy !!!


these papers needed to be used up and was quite happy to find some sheets were pictures, vintage pictures to be cut out so that was fun and useful..


The brown tags were left overs too and added papers on, inked them up, 


and popped on some of those pictures and stamped.


theses sheets turned out to be stickers.


So I chopped them up for extra things..


I also reached out for my stencils and put paste through those
 for extra dimension and interest..


Even though I messed up here too they looked interesting


and in the end I had all these to play with and add to journals.


Remember these frames, the negatives from the labels I cut..


I made use of those too..


All these papers need to be used up


so glued a few onto black card stock and made panels


and already to make....what?


Identification labels, for journal or anything you want, or just keep
 making them until you have a box full and a happy heart.


Lots of stamping and inking for the aged loo..


and my days were done..

I have plenty to go on with but you know as well as I do, I wont stop there or maybe not use them all, but as long as I have them,I'm happy..

so there you go..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Wonderful collection of ephemera showing your creative use of every leftover piece, and the mix of pockets, tags, panels, stenciled textures, vintage images, and clever repurposed packaging makes your assortment feel lively, inventive, and full of character.
