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

Its 2010, and although LM has closed its doors, I will be continuing to upload a new cardsketch every Saturday, here at my blog... (the first 53 sketches have been carried over from the LM gallery - you can find the label/subcategory in the menu bar on the right side of the blog to see them al).

If you play along, please link up your creation in the comments so I can take a look. I love to see what you all do with these. Also, if you post publically, if you could credit my blog for the sketch, that would be great too. THANKS!!

This sketch plays off my Unity Stamp Co card from yesterday. I love the little owlie images.

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.
