Magnet Board

I made this magnet board over Christmas for an old friend for a belated wedding gift and for Christmas. Unfortunately, it is still sitting here... I've been trying to find a box to ship it in. I don't really want it to brake.

I found the frame at Robert's and it already had the black flourishes on it. I also got the letters there which I painted red, distressed with black ink, added red Stickles and magnets. The flowers I made used a technique that I learned from my sister Kendra where you cut out various sizes of circles out of satin, burn the edges and then sew together. I added the red Stickles around all the edges for fun. I used my i-Top to make red satin buttons for the centers. Then I added this My Mind's Eye "HOME" sticker and the ribbon and viola... it was done! It was easy and fun to put together.

Friend Frame

This pretty frame was just a plain wood frame to begin with. But once I had a little fun altering it... it turned beautiful.

I altered this (and another) frame for my best friend, Jill Ashley for Christmas. It really was so fun. I started by Modge Podging some prettyMy Mind's Eye paper down, along with adding friend tag. with pop dots The flower was made using various circles of satin and burning the edges, then sewing them together. Add a few glittery flourishes and crystals and your done!! I LOVE how it turned out, I want one for myself.

Twilight Frame

I made this fun Twilight frame for Jill Ashley too. I didn't take a picture of it with the picture I later added because you would be laughing your butt off. Let's just say, we like Twilight! :)

I used also used My Mind's Eye paper along with the same technique for the flower and over all vibe. I REALLY love how this one turned out and I hope I make one for myself someday soon. :)
