Christmas gift advice please

Tulle question...
How would you guys adhere tulle to a scrapbook page? I want to adhere it flat…never done that before. Then, I will have embellishments - title blocks - to adhere on TOP of the tulle.
Suggestions? I don't want the adhesive to show through, of course. Thank you.

Re: Cleaning the fridge
If by "Clean out the fridge" you mean look for things to toss out, for me it's every couple of days. I can't stand a full refrigerator. Pretty much every time I put something in it, I look around to see if I can also take anything out. As long as I'm leaving empty-handed anyway. http://w...

It was incredibly difficult to do but it turned out so beautiful. The book was about 20 pages. I scanned all the pictures and cried every time I worked on the bo...

The journaling was about how I sleep everynight under a quilt she made; and how not a day goes by that we don't think about her and miss her. Oh, I LOVE ...
