Another Magnet Board........

Same thing, different paper!

Magnetic 12x18 Boards with magnets....








This is a piece of 12x18, 24 gauge steel, that I have covered with paper. I used my crop-a-dile to add eyelets, which I put the ribbon through and I add ribbon to the middle to hide the 2 papers meeting. I used my 1 inch SU! punch to cut out my paper for the magnets. I then modge podged the paper to the glass flat marbles found at Target, Hobby Lobby or the Dollar Tree etc. and added a magnet. TFL

Like it a Latte


Yes another silly magnetic notepad......... I used Tulip Slick Puff Paint for just the right amount of whip cream. I also embellished with eyelets and added the ribbon.

Dry Erase the month away




My daughter and I made this calendar today. I got the idea from , Heart and Home magazine. We used a dry erase marker to fill in the month and the dates. The cool thing is the calendar and month box never change, but you could change your 12x12 paper monthly. I want to create something different for each month. Like Sept. add an owl in the month box or a Christmas Tree in December. You could get really creative with it. This is a 12x12 frame, the one in the mag was 15x15. My daughter had a great idea of making a chore chart with the same idea. She wants to hang hers with ribbon. Thanks for looking.

Whoo hoo!




I am so excited... I recieved the new Cricut Cartridge, Storybook today! What an amazing cartridge, it has so much to offer a girl. Several different fonts, flourishes, birds and this adorable little owl, that I know ..... kind of looks possesed with the googlie eyes. Oh well.
This is a note catching pad that has a giant magnetic clip, the clip can be found at Office Depot.
My friend Natalie showed me how to make these cute little things. Just cover chipboard with glue,cut paper to fit, and embellish the magnet. Attach to a fridge, or magnetic board andVoila!

Slide me Silly



These are some slider gift card pocket holders I made as teacher gifts. I cased the idea off of SCS.

Brown bag special....

Brown Bag Special......this is a 6x6 lunch bag album. The inside is folded brown paper lunch sacks. I used chipboard on the back and front. These have endless possibilities.

You better believe it....


Can u believe this bag is folded out of one sheet of 12x12?! My friend Lawrie, taught me this and I have enjoyed making these little gift sets ever since. It includes 3, 3x3 cards with envelopes (from SU!), a personilzed mini note book and a RSVP pen with matching paper rolled and put inside. Love it!

Mary had a little lamb...but I made 20


Baby Shower, anyone? I made these little lambs to go on take home goody bags for a friends baby shower. The lamb is from the SU! Dilly Dally Set, which sadly is about to be retired. Its a 12.95 stamp set that I love. The lambs are filled in with white Tulip Slick puff paint.

Recipe box....
















Hey, everyone! These are some of the recipe boxes that were made at a workshop I taught. The ladies did a fantastic job, and I love the polka dots. We used Stampin' Up! stamp set, From the Kitchen of, to create these personalized boxes. Each box has 6 chipboard dividers that are stamped using SU! Seeing Spots, and using the SU! Tab punch for the lables on the dividers (Salads, Main dishes, etc...) Finally we stamped our recipe cards for jotting down those oh so important recipes!
