Unity Thursday 1-28-10

Welcome to Unity Thursday, the last one for January. I hope you are having a wonderful week!

Today, I'm playing with another one of the new CHA releases - the Could I Be Any Cuter kit. Right now, it is wholesale, but it will release to the public soon....

This is brighter than my normal cards - but it's for a little boy, and I thought it should be a little vibrant.



Thanks for stopping by! Happy thursday.

tutorial - magnet board stand

Good morning everyone! Today, we're making a magnet board stand.

This is a sheet of roofing flashing that you can buy at the home improvement store for under $5 a sheet. It's approximately the same size as letter sized paper. Be careful when handling - the edges are sharp.
Put the bottom edge of it over your table and carefully push down, creating a fold.


Now, your flashing is a "stand"


From there, its on to decorating. Adhere paper to the front, and then wrap it around like a present. You need to wrap those sharp edges.
Cover the gap in back with another sheet of paper.
Now, color your rubber romance image - this one is Diva Chef
And then simply decorate the top of the board any way you wish. I'm using mine for recipes, so I'm keeping it flat b/c its got a sealant over it to protect the paper.

And here it is in action - with a recipe magneted up. Enjoy.


the idea to use the flashing as a magnet base is concepted from Christle Torvinen.

Thanks for stopping by. Wendy

Happy New Decade!!!

its a new year and a new decade and yippee!! we're showcasing the new kit of the month!!! I hope you all had a fabulous new year. My husband and I were reflecting how much a decade changes things. Long gone are our party years - new years is spent with the kids, who are beyond excited they "get" to stay up to midnight... We watched Paul Blart Mall Cop. CUTE movie.

I love the new Jan 2010 kit of the month - so chock full of cuteness! I love these heavy lidded owls. Just HAD to make a card...


I hope you all have a great day today... Be sure to check out the entire DT for more peaks of the new kit. Thanks for stopping by.
