I have officially re-gained my crafty (
hehehehe... that was my best evil laugh...) life...
Here's my fruits:
I will be giving her away to one very jolly lady, or should I say person?...
Leave a comment telling me about a favorite holiday tradition or memory, and your name will be entered in a drawing for this masterpiece... winner announced Sunday evening!
If you don't win, then on Monday, you can go buy supplies and make one with me on Thursday, October 2nd, you name the time, my joint! (I will be open
ALL DAY... I am a Best Western Widow!)
Supply list is in the side bar... I might add to it later as I am trying to get a fussy baby to sleep right now and I really don't know what it is that I am doing, or talking about, but if she hits her head one more time on some hard object while trying to crawl... so help me!
Um, anyway...
Buy a cookie sheet. The cheaper, the better. Any size, I used 11x17... no Teflon coated, the magnets won't hold.
You can prime you cookie sheet with automotive primer and spray paint it yourself,
or you can bring it to me, specify which color you prefer, and I'll do it ;)...
You must have it to me by Wednesday morning!!!
I will have the glue needed to adhere your paper, and a Cricut (and MANY fonts...) to cut out lettering, or foam stamps and paint to letter with. I also have wire for the hanger. I will also drill the holes needed before I paint your cookie sheet, or you will have to drill them yourself
BEFORE YOU PAINT.
I also have various corner rounders, punches, and a trimmer, but you will have to bring your own papers!!!
Rick-Rack and ribbons are up to you too...
Now, for those daily pieces...
There are many options... above, is the collected, eclectic look. You have to come up with those too. (I do have 15 of the metal light bulbs [#5], those go to the first 15 to call them.) Or you may opt for the more consistent approach (my fav... heart!), as demonstrated below:
Those are circles punched in the background paper (double-sided) after I printed my numbers on them with my computer (I do have that saved...) topped with a page pebble, and glued to the magnets. (Those are one inch.) You have about 1 1/2 inches to play with in those squares. Bottle caps would be cute, wooden circles... you get the idea, right?
Oh, and those numbers, you gotta do those too. I used rub-ons, kind of a pain, I liked printing them much better, stamps would be cool too, I have to see if I have a font that small, so if you don't want my computer printed number method, get busy finding your numbers...
I will also have the grid, thanks to Christie :).
I think that's it, but I am very tired now, somewhat not all here...
RSVP so I know how much stuff to have for sure...
It'll be fun!
Should I bust out some Christmas tunes?
I am giving one away too!
