Magnet Gift Set


The parameters were something for a couple in a very small space. So I made a "book" of refrigerator magnets that could be stored in a bookcase.  I scored and folded a sheet of Stamper's Select cardstock, rounded the two outer corners and covered the spine with washi tape. I stamped the images from Warmest Wishes in black and one of the tags from 2011 Holiday Tags in Pure Poppy.

Inside a sheet of galvanized steel step flashing (not aluminum) with corners rounded with a corner chomper attached with scor-tape.

Before I cut the magnets, I covered the sheet with Papertrey Ink's Adhesive Paper, which make's it easier to attach paper to the magnets. The images were all cut from Stamper's Select White Cardstock, stamped, colored with Distress Markers, and then glued to the magnets.

Papertrey Ink Dress Up Inpiration

One of my favorite shirts is a Brown Tiki Kingdom Grumpy tee (I actually have two of them). So I wrote Grumpy along the bottom of the dress. Papertrey Ink 9th Anniversary Dress Up Inspiration.

WOYWW 345

Not much going on today. Scissors, Candied Apple re-inker and Black and White Alcohol Inks to be put away. Eiffel Tower pencil sharpener out for enjoyment : D. All the inkpads are labeled, so some satisfaction in that. Tim Holtz app on the ipad, only the reinkers left to do.

Our first real storm of the season. The snowplow has already come by 4 times since 5 am. (Snowplow contract best Christmas present to myself ever!).

WOYWW 344

The aftermath of a bit of stamp cleaning. : D. With the aid of my new planner, I've already started my Christmas Crafting : D. Hopefully it's not as easy to misplace as the notebook I used in years past.

At the back, the 3 Distress Inks to complete the set: Lucky Clover, Carved Pumpkin and Candied Apple, because as you can see I'm a bit of an ink pad addict (and there are others stashed out of view).

I started the day by braving 6F and heading to the pool for Hydro Running at 6:30. Now I'm on my way back for "walk to run" ... which is an intereting choice lol, but it's a balmy 25, so shorts weather : D.
