Retro Rockets scrap paper pack

An Etsy find for Friday — all I can say is that I’d use every piece of this stuff. Every. Piece.

This is a collection of 50 scraps inspired by science-fiction style space travel. Included in this bag are pieces of colored and patterned paper, tags, tabs, brads, labels, vintage book illustrations, stickers, die cuts, printed scrapbooking bits, chipboard embellishments, tracing paper and anything else that seemed to fit the theme.

Add some “good-old-fashioned” artistic inspiration to you sketchbook, alter an old book, make up some sweet cards, glue your way to a fabulous collage, or outfit a highly original scrapbook!

Planet book belt buckle

Planet book belt buckle

This unusual belt buckle is made using discarded schoolbook cover art. Great, and retro too!

We created this one of a kind buckle using a section of the cover of an amazing antique book which we found at our local Friend of the Library sale. The book was being taken out of circulation because the pages weren’t in great shape . We saved the book’s cover art from being thrown out and set it in a buckle to be preserved and enjoyed for years. The pewter buckle and a thick layer of resin offer great protection to the image. So feel free to beat it up a bit, it can take it.

Outer Space Ring

Outer Space - Sterling Silver, Copper and Lampwork Ring

Continuing my quest for interesting, space-related items on Etsy, I found this star-studded ring. I don’t usually go for beaded rings, but the design of this one struck me, and the combination of metals and colors… ah, yes, I’d wear this if I had a random-jewelry-buying budget.
