These
Window Keepers are wonderful little tag-shaped pockets to hold
photographs or ephemera. And each one has a clear “window” sewn
in to protect the contents and add a touch of stitching. Each Window Keeper
is approximately 4-1/2” long when fully open and 3-1/2” long
if you fold over the flap. They are about 2-1/2” wide, and each package
contains two different tags. Each is printed on the front and back, so
they really add a great design element to your projects.
These Epoxy Tiles
are the perfect embellishment for adding a touch of pattern and shine
to your page. Each collection contains 8 tiles, and each tile has a self-adhesive
backing. Individual tiles measure about 1” by 1” square, and
have a slightly raised surface.

Epoxy
Corners add a new dimension when used traditionally as photo corners.
But we like to use them to add an unusual shape and a touch of pattern
in any collage composition. Each collection contains 16 individual corners,
which have a self-adhesive backing. The corners measure about 1”
by 1” by 1-3/8” each.

Every
collection needs Alphabet Stickers, and we just adore these. The
stickers are epoxy coated just like the Epoxy Tiles and Epoxy Corners.
Each alphabet tile measures approximately 3/4” by 3/4” square,
and has a self-adhesive backing. Use one at the beginning of your journaling
paragraph, or we like them as an interesting design element by themselves.
There are 32 stickers in each set.

You’re bound
to find lace in any Attic Collection, and we have some beautiful Lace
Border Stickers to add that feminine touch. Each piece of lace is
just over 12” long, so they are perfect to use on a 12” x 12”
scrapbook page. But you can cut them to fit other places such as the edge
of an altered book page. There are 3 different lace patterns in each package.
The widest one has a tea-stained color, and is about 1” wide. The
black lace measures about 3/8” wide, and the ivory lace is about
3/4” wide.

The
Gems Vintage Button Stickers are self-adhesive, and look as if
they were in Grandma’s button box. They range in size from approximately
1-1/4” to 1” in diameter. The Attic T-Pins range in length
from approximately 3” long to 3-1/2” long. Each one has a protective
tip that slides back on, and we can see these holding photos or memorabilia
to your pages. And the Collage Paper Buttons are self-adhesive,
ranging from approximately 7/8” to 1” in diameter. With the
strings tied through the holes, they add the look of a button without
the weight.
