ON THE GOOD PIN LOLLIPOP...

so...here's the first project i did for over at our inspiration station...make sure to check out all the great projects and giveaways going on over there!...did i mention that the bottom pin needs a home?...well...check it out!...

took the lollipop flower idea and give it a spin...had some sleeves from a tee that i had cut off (wanted to show off my guns...lol) and loved the material...ended up grabbing my sizzix circles #2 die and cut out 2 sets...layered 'em on top of each other...doing the off center thing...took a thread and needle...and tacked all the layers together...found a cute button and slapped 'er on there..cut a 1" circle out of chipboard (aka cereal box) and super glued to the flower...then super glued a tack pin to the circle...and taa dah!...this super cute flower pin...but you could leave the pin off...and have one heck of a cute embellie!...

 

 

THESE THINGS ARE SO ADDICTIVE!...

omg....these little magnet boards are like pringles...once you pop...you can't stop!...i'm driving the hubs crazy!...i got 'em on like every door knob in the house!...and you guys were worried that 100 was too many to buy!...lol...

now this one i used straight from the nest for the birdies...and i guess since my head's in the clouds...maybe that's why i feel in love with the paper from the dcwv songbird stack...i wanted to mix it up and did it in a different direction...yeah...i'm crazy like that!...

 

 

i love me some skulls...so this one's my fav!...the paper is from the dcwv madly in love stack...killer, right?...wanted to pick up some of the blingage with the magnets...so i did a little embossing on the hearts...oops...forgot to mention that the heart cuts were from don juan...

 

 

now with this one...i just used some magnets that i bought from m's in the dollar section...they went perfectly with my new fav paper...k & company greenhouse stack....

 

 

CELEBRATE EARTH DAY IN A MAGNETIC WAY...

so...with earth day coming up...i just had to use my give a hoot cart...then...i saw this beyond adorable mini magnet board vid chic 'n scratch did...and i just had to do 'em!...who'd a thunk it to go in the roofing section for crafting supplies?...well...i'm glad someone did...because these are my new addiction!...

 

 

these little guys use a 5 X 7 galvanized roof step flashing...of course my store didn't have 'em...so i orderd off of amazon (came in quanties of 100...so that should last me until the weekend...lol)...then you pick whatever patterned paper you want to use..i reached for my dcwv green stack...how eco-riffic!...trimmed any paper poking over...did a little sanding...just to smoothe the sides..used my corner chomper to round the edges...punched tho holes with the big bite...and added some matching ribbon for a hanger...then needed to create some magnets...i cut the recycling symbol off give a hoot at 2 1/2 inches...finally broke out the utee (ultra thick embossing enamel) to make 'em thick and glossy!...slapped a magnet on the back...and there you go...one eco chic project with it's own magnetic personality!...
