Magnetic Board

Here is another magnetic board I made last week. The boards were something I had picked up at the Target $ spot awhile back. I just used sticky strip to adhere the DSP. The fruit pieces were stamped, punched out and then mounted on magnet sheet and cut out. Ok, they were punched out, but I wouldn't recommend doing that to your punches. I think it's too hard on them and in fact I ended up cutting the last few with scissors. I used the Crop-a-dile to punch holes to attach my silver hodgepodge piece. Hope you like it.

Spring Expo Projects

Here a just a few of the things I've made to sell at the Spring Expo that will take place at Cross Lutheran School tomorrow. I would love to see some of you stop by. It is a great way to see some of the other direct selling vendors as well. All vendors will be donating a portion of their sales to the school. You won't be sorry you came. The doors open at 9:00 and there is no entry charge unless you are coming for the scrapbooking part and it goes until 3:00 pm. Hope to see you there.

Hip-hippo-ray! It's warm today!

• Can you believe we might hit 70º today? This cute little hippo is happy today too because of the weather. I used an Aqua Painter and ink pads (smoosh the lid into the pad before opening) to color her in. Don't you love her pretty red toenails? Everyone needs a manicure when the weather gets nice. LOL I used lots of punches as well---large and small oval, small star, photo corner punch. Colors are Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Real Red, Yoyo Yellow marker for the balloon, white gel pen for the stitching lines on the photo corners, Night of Navy ink cartridge for the Sweet Stars stampin' wheel background. The stamp set of course is Pun Fun and is part of the April special. Buy the set Pun Fun and get the Sweet Star wheel FREE. There are 5 other sets in this promo as well. They are listed below.

Bad Dog!!!

Remember this? I posted this beautiful box awhile ago here on my blog. I've also been taking it to show at my workshops. Well, this morning when I came down to my stamp room, this is what I found. It was tucked in my SU black bag and for some reason she felt the need to get it out and destroy it. Now Tippy is not normally a bad dog and doesn't chew on things or even get into things, but the funny part is that this is the second time she has destroyed one of these decorated papermache boxes. I made one about a year ago that was on the table and the cat knocked it off and Tippy destroyed it. Am I seeing a pattern here? What would she have against a papermache box? Go figure! Needless to say I'm not very happy with Tippy today and I think she is a lousy paper crafter to say the least.

Summer Picnic Fun

Don't you just love the cheerfulness of the Summer Picnic DSP? My 2 fav colors have always been red and blue so this DSP is right up my ally. I also am having fun with the Pun Fun stamp set. Hope you enjoy them. If you'd like to know any details please feel free to email me.

Hey Baby!

Know what this is? Yes, it is a baby food container. My friend Anne has been saving some of these for me since she thought I could do something crafty with them. She gives them to me clean of course. We have some other friends who now have 3 babies and yesterday as I was feeding one of them some peas I told her (the mom, not the baby--lol) to save the containers. She said she would, but she's not washing them out. ooooo yuck! Guess I'll have to catch them when I can. LOL

Anyway, I covered this using the Afternoon Tea DSP and the stamp set used is Boho Backgrounds, pumpkin pie fusion flower and hodgepodge brad and scalloped circle punch.

Have a great day!
