7gypsies Week at BlueMoonScrapbooking

Thursday's winner is: divester ...
The front of my journal would have the Sheena market paper, I would use the Princesca ATC & Photo Display tags (love them). I would add some of the seam bindings to the page and finish it off with the Vintage hardware (clock and keys) and use the antique keys as accessories. I love 7 gypsies products!!!!

Check over at the Design Team Blog and see Marion Smith's new 7gypsies video!

I finished this layout sort of... Once I found this picture, which I like because it was sewing related. I sewed my daughter this mini sling for her dolls to match her baby sling I had made for myself. Now we each have one for our baby dolls-LOL.
I thought I should use some of the fabric from the sling, but after rummaging all through the house -I can't find it. Elsie was playing with it, so she probably has it tucked in somewhere. To finish this layout I want to use that fabric and sew it on the page. I'm going to sew on the photograph and let the edges hang open.

I used a 7gypies tag and a 97% Complete Sticker for the window.

Blend on some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Milled Lavendar on the tag, edge with a little brown.

The tape ribbon I've had for a long time, but you could use 7gyspies new printed tape which looks just like the ribbon.

    The gaffer tape would immediately go on the hem of my jeans...because I can't resist decorating ANYTHING! But when I found I quiet cafe, no doubt that roll of gaffer tape would come out and sit on my table to be torn and adhered to the pages of my art journal while I sipped a latte and dreamed of Paris!

    Love the layout! AND -- how cute is she with her little "sling!?!?!?"

    First, I would use some on my latte cup, then I would use the tape to patch up my overfull hobo bag, to keep my journals and paintbrushes from spilling out.

    Hmmm....I think I'd use on the edges of my cards and gift bags....perhaps make it look like old worn leather with some distressing ink that I'd already conveniently have in my purse...

    OMGoodness! I have been wanting to get my hands on the 7 gypsies "Stripe" Gaffer Tape for some time now to go on the edges of a mini album I have on mind to make. It would be SO perfect!

    Ok, I am still so new as a scrapbooker that I did not know what gaffer tape was! I had to look it up. Wow, was I surprised to find out what it was. According to what I read about it, this stuff would be great to take on a trip. I would take it along to dress up some jeans/pants or to patch a tear (how much cuter and easier would this be rather than just using some thread and a needle)! I would also have it handy for any emergencies with my journal or just to embellish it or my scrapbook. Thanks again for the opportunity to play along!

    I have never used gaffer tape, but I think I would use some cardstock and paper and make a mini album/travel journal.

    Run away with it and head for my safe deposit box!Later I would edge the pockets of a jean jacket and make the cover of an album of grandkids pix. And then...

    If I have it already, since Ihave a lot of 7g gaffer tape, I would use the one picked up for decorate a spine or something, but if I don't alreay have it, it goes onto the wall for decoration :)

  12. LynneOctober 30, 2009 at 6:06 AM

    I would probably use the gaffer tape on everything! Until I run out, of course. But, I was thinking a LO of my grandson, showing how much he has grown over the last year!
    I do love the LO, even if you are not finished with it. Too cute!!

  13. DebbieOctober 30, 2009 at 6:20 AM

    I haven't used any gaffer tape yet, even though I have some. I guess I would use it for journal bindings, or as a border on cards.

  14. Susan GoodellOctober 30, 2009 at 6:29 AM

    I think I will wrap some around the waist of my white, soft flowing dress and use it as a belt. Then I will use a piece as a headband to keep my hair from blowing in my eyes as I walk the beautiful countryside. The gaffer tape comes in so many wonderful patterns that I'm sure it will compliment my white cotton dress.

  15. Lillian ChildOctober 30, 2009 at 6:35 AM

    I would use it to build a fort by taping a sheet around our kitchen table and my grandson and I could sit beneath and dream that we are in an enchanted forest fishing - and the lake is filled with gaffer tape!

  16. Janine RachauOctober 30, 2009 at 6:38 AM

    I would most certainly use the tape in layouts. But, there would be so many other uses for it. But, I definitely would not be using 7 gypsies gaffer tape to repair my muffler,....I'm just not that frivolous!

  17. NitashaOctober 30, 2009 at 6:48 AM

    I would use the 7g gaffer tape to decorate my my canvas totes, and of course put some on the handles too because they are filled to the brim with paper and embellies! And after I'm finished shopping, I think I'll use some on the journal you asked about yesterday!

  18. Beth HOctober 30, 2009 at 6:52 AM

    Use it as picture frames on my next scrapbook layout of the Eiffel tower!

    Gaffer tape! Great find! I've collected so many little bits I want to save... the theater ticket stubs, the receipt for that wonderful dinner in Paris!. I tucked them all into clear envelopes, and now, I can use the gaffer tape to attach them to pages in my journal!

    I would take the gaffer tape and use some of it to bind my mementos together as I am sipping my latte. I would then take a pen and use a little of it to write a quick note journaling some of my adventures. The rest would be given to random people on te street to share and enjoy as I have. After all what fun is it to have something if you cannot share it.
    Very sweet lO he sling is adorable.

    Could not go on a gypsy trip without my camera so I would definitely use some to decorate my camera bag and my camera strap.

    sipping my latte and doodling in my dream book......I'm sure I would be tempted to use it on my book and on my cup and wait I think my purse could use some dressing up too!

  24. LauraOctober 30, 2009 at 8:21 AM

    By this time my travel journal would be about ready to fall apart, so I would use the gaffer's tape to hold it together and decorate it at the same time. :-)

    I would put mine on a mini, and also to attach 2 scrap pieces of my gypsie pps to create 1 wonderful piece of yummy-ness (is that a word?!).

    I'd probably share a piece with my fellow gypsie for emergencies too. ha!

    I have the sweetest little mini in the works...I would take the gaffer tape and edge all of my different pages to give it continuity as well as beauty...All this Gypsy traveling this week has been fun. Now it is time to unravel my gaffer tape find from the paperie and get started on finishing my mini!!

  31. GailOctober 30, 2009 at 8:46 AM

    I would have to put the measuring tape along the door of the cafe I cleaned up to go in for, so I could spot the right size person to follow cuz I need some new clothes!But then I'd have to tantalize them with my skills and use the rest of my tape to empress them enough to 'trust' me so it's not so hard to coax the trade of clothes. OK I'm going too far now. lol

    I would use the gaffer tape to decorate my journal that describes the journeys that I am taking. I would also use it for adding some decoration to my skirt for adding color and texture.

    i think i might use some of the gaffer tape to tape up some of my luggage. i bet it would be tattered and in need of some repairs from my long journeys ;p'. i would also use it to tape my journal book, which contains goodies from all my journeys.
    happy friday!

    I have not ever used gaffer tape since I am new to scrapbooking. From what I have read, I would like to use it to alter a journal of notes. Could I use it to bookmark pages? Different tape for different topics.
    Can't wait to see who wins this time?

    It would immediately go on to the journal pages I am writing in, and would probably cover the entire cover of my journal which I would then ink to distress it.

    As I wandered into the side street, I suddenly kicked something with my foot....
    It rolled right into a drain on the curb. Kneeling down and peeking into the drain...I had suddenly found a crowd peering there with me~
    Inside that drain...in the little side street...somewhere in Italy....was a sight to behold....
    Filled to the Brim with rolls of gaffer tape. Everyone around was able have a roll. Gaffer decorating Party started! Some place it on their travel journal binders...some lined the pages of phone books in near by phone booths.
    The side street became a colorful adornment of gaffer tape all over!
    And..with my last little bit, I taped the hole in the store owners shirt pocket which made all of us SMILE! :c)

    Enjoyed Marion's video....now I know what the border punch is used for! :c)

    If I were a gypsy I would probably need the tape to mend my clothes.. but if that weren't the case then I would use it to decorate (clothes, bags, furniture, anything). Love the layout!

  52. Dawne CarlisleOctober 30, 2009 at 4:16 PM

    I would use it to decorate my "oh so boring" camera strap into something fabulous! Then I would use the remainder on a journal binding. I would keep the journal in my camera bag where I would keep all my notes on camera settings.
