To Do

Here's a memo board I made recently.  I decided to not make it have a Christmas theme, so it can be used all through the year.  It does use Christmas DSP though --- our Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP.  It has a magnet on the back (optional) so you can place it on your fridge.  As we get closer to the holiday season, there's so much TO DO.  A memo board provides a good way to organize all the reminders.  It has a blank space on it so you can add a favorite photo.

If you'd like to learn how to make it, I have all the materials ready for you.  This is a sneak peek at another project for the Oct. 19 Touch of Christmas class.

Everything Isn't Always Black and White

No, it isn't always black and white.  Sometimes, it's black and off-white.  I've been working on new displays, new projects and playing with new products.  I'm having lots of fun in my studio.  I hope you're ready to come to my Open House / New Catalog Party on June 3 (2:00-5:00) so you can join in on all the fun!

This is my new memo/pin board.   The cute little card was made by my daughter, using all new products.  I love it!  Below, is a close-up of the butterfly.  It's embossed.

These framed pictures hang behind the bar area in my studio.  The background is actually fabric!

This cute little 3 X 3" card actually has a layer of fabric on it, too, along with a new framelits shape and another embossed butterfly.

Before I sign off for today and get back to work in my studio, be sure to check out all the details on my upcoming events.  There will be a lot going on around her in the near future.

Just a reminder...

Do you need reminders for special days, events, 'to do' lists, etc.?  How about a little memo board to keep track of your reminders?
I've had this board sitting around for a while --- quite a while, actually --- and was waiting for inspiration on what to do with it.  It's really a write and wipe board, but I'm more apt to use a magnetic board.  Well... the other day, I was cleaning out my storage room and came across this board --- again:)  I had this 'I wonder' moment and grabbed a magnet to test on it.  Sure enough, it is also magnetic.  Wish I'd thought to try this a long time ago!
I decided to decorate it with some of our S-A-B Everyday Enchantment DSP.

I added a card I received from my friend Robin and 2 of the trifold cards I made.  They all use S-A-B materials.  The DSP is just held on with the magnets, so I can change it out to coordinate with whatever display I want to use with it.  The magnets are made with buttons and fabric covered brads that I had on hand.
Tip:
If you'd like to attach your DSP permanently to your memo board, you can brush on a liquid adhesive to hold the DSP in place.  Use a sponge brush and try to keep from getting the DSP too wet, as it will ripple.
So, if you'd like a quick and easy project --- for you or a special gift --- try a cute little memo board.
