I got the idea of the magnetic part of the tile a year or so ago from <a href="http://wallwords4u.blogspot.com/">Adhering Thoughts </a>blog. I've wanted to make it ever since. I like how it turned out. The metal is step flashing, I rounded the corners, adhered with liquid nails. The magnet is a flat page pebble that I inked with brown and red and heat set until the color matched, adhered to the magnet with liquid nails and E6000. I used brown Oracal vinyl and red Silhouette vinyl, choosing random fonts I liked on my computer. I have no idea where I got the heart shape, found it in my file stash.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLXP4Bc8BOiukPyr5qc4ImMPb0pHSWGnNXLuAutORM4i-8pTPXYjuIWsGRRiEa8yX5E_Ykz7delshBtg4DZH6H6Qd6FBvw9TujyowC3TijbfxM49qvWmvxxiCPuW3ZTJKkBAPVuu6IPIE/s1600/037.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 301px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548565166959081346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLXP4Bc8BOiukPyr5qc4ImMPb0pHSWGnNXLuAutORM4i-8pTPXYjuIWsGRRiEa8yX5E_Ykz7delshBtg4DZH6H6Qd6FBvw9TujyowC3TijbfxM49qvWmvxxiCPuW3ZTJKkBAPVuu6IPIE/s320/037.JPG" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439720312783646969.post-45159594607325584242010-11-23T00:18:00.002-06:002010-12-09T00:22:14.316-06:00Blessing MixI made Blessing Mix for my son's church and school teachers.

I will probably just save each page as a jpg and insert them into Word to print at home. I know SBC+ has a calendar feature but this was already done and I really liked the font, besides it only took a few minutes to fix up for SBC+. I hope someone finds this useful.

I love anything with butterflies. Anyway, I made several unsuccessful attempts at recreating it in SBC+ until my last crop. A friend of mine showed me a picture that she shaped as the butterfly then cut into a grid and it hit me...I knew exactly what I needed to do to recreate the template. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc56Y1Zrj9UvS0Ml2Pgkq4lnL3ZSREVAqv-lxG0vdmvcfUgIGkH9u5UCvAzV3fCvQDA9f9Mnu8UDCfNL9P5eqfdLlt_TTrJ5PQdGdnqfMgSPzralfcVkdl7QIpiJxLfTB735aYHHObVW0/s1600/pc_butterfly%2520template_jpg-550x0.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506091386156156610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc56Y1Zrj9UvS0Ml2Pgkq4lnL3ZSREVAqv-lxG0vdmvcfUgIGkH9u5UCvAzV3fCvQDA9f9Mnu8UDCfNL9P5eqfdLlt_TTrJ5PQdGdnqfMgSPzralfcVkdl7QIpiJxLfTB735aYHHObVW0/s320/pc_butterfly%2520template_jpg-550x0.jpg" /></a> This is as close as I could get to it. The background paper and flourish are freebies from the CK NSD digifreebie kit and the large butterfly and title are from CM's Black and White Kit. I changed the opacity of the background paper, rubber stamped the flourish and for the title, I changed the color, glitterized it and added the 3D effect.<br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv4N2QGgHCoWINMRsIYaZB5vBDs5-2tsRknUm2kywGSeLfmgUOK__-j9O802M2g9KjrXMLw4GIBiZLPq12dToR0tYdjH3GQvgE5b3lb6lc4EceNiAu5rXZdCD8AoIWY4n4HskvJ_iKRKk/s1600/Butterfly+-+Page+004.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506091382270562498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv4N2QGgHCoWINMRsIYaZB5vBDs5-2tsRknUm2kywGSeLfmgUOK__-j9O802M2g9KjrXMLw4GIBiZLPq12dToR0tYdjH3GQvgE5b3lb6lc4EceNiAu5rXZdCD8AoIWY4n4HskvJ_iKRKk/s320/Butterfly+-+Page+004.jpg" /></a> I couldn't think of any other recent pics that would fit the page except these (hence the color choice on the background/title).<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506091365594214834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2STpmMhCSZXCjY6BwDJFuXrcoQCFKlkYr0cbsaFCx-c02Q0RxmxfUsmGNkfR4ziKd1h8DxGqzuA2S89Lg4im-KiyzHuX0iSwGSpRv0u_j5VP5aibL3w5RBTcRsEjTzdmcvECbvcbO5Tc/s320/MomButterfly+-+Page+004.jpg" />This is a different version I made, I like them both.

Angie's things are always so beautiful! The board itself is galvanized steel flashing and I couldn't find it anywhere locally (only aluminum) so I went in with a couple of other friends and we ordered 100 pieces from a seller on Amazon. Anyway, mod podge will not work to adhere the paper to the metal so I used my Glue Glider Pro and it worked just fine. I used PP and ribbon found in my scraps and the magnets are just white flat marbles that I inked to match glued on round magnets from Wal-Mart (although I think those magnets are too large, will use the smaller ones when I get some). You can attach pictures, notes, recipes...anything to this.

I think these turned out great! The hardest part was figuring out where to put the numbers for the clock so I found a worksheet online for kids, pasted the .jpg in my project, changed the opacity so I could barely see the numbers and added my numbers on top of it in a font I liked. In the first one, I blended the edges of my photo, used film grain on the background shape, color sampled from my pic, used an overlay (that was square and I cut out the part I liked in the shape of a circle) and added texture to the wordart. In the second one, I used a photo mask for the pic, gradient tool for my background paper color sampling from the pic, the same overlay as in the first one, used freebie wordart and flourishes (changed the opacity of the flourishes so they blend in) and typed the text. I don't like how the second one doesn't fill the circle but I had a hard time placing that pic without the hands of the clock inserting through my baby's face, thought that might look odd, haha! I'll post the finished product when I get the clock put back together.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5wg_k-hbidh-LD9NQ8fnPE2mYsOFXze2BcZpWKJx80QMQAobV-IuJT-VRbx7fletANsqk280znFCxKAYq-ywmuaurw8C-ttn_3TjiCeL5niHIb9MoMRRHY1exrfn1XrOXZTuBchtjK9o/s1600/ClockLowRes+-+Page+004.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483068868183490498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5wg_k-hbidh-LD9NQ8fnPE2mYsOFXze2BcZpWKJx80QMQAobV-IuJT-VRbx7fletANsqk280znFCxKAYq-ywmuaurw8C-ttn_3TjiCeL5niHIb9MoMRRHY1exrfn1XrOXZTuBchtjK9o/s320/ClockLowRes+-+Page+004.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcPf67Iq8ps18b34R9jB2LYNcgtWehOf153SITPBrdcFuFRxIXxwubj1WH1tXA_0UowdTKvTIvSwYytxG8zz9FtNpQBG0pugwnt_U8kd8-3frybgh6KIrpZDS_ceh3WVFhSQOwnyc1TN0/s1600/Clock2LowRes+-+Page+006.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483068860821503682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcPf67Iq8ps18b34R9jB2LYNcgtWehOf153SITPBrdcFuFRxIXxwubj1WH1tXA_0UowdTKvTIvSwYytxG8zz9FtNpQBG0pugwnt_U8kd8-3frybgh6KIrpZDS_ceh3WVFhSQOwnyc1TN0/s320/Clock2LowRes+-+Page+006.jpg" /></a> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439720312783646969.post-30359236490634686232010-06-06T14:19:00.003-05:002010-06-06T14:23:01.431-05:00Gifts<div align="center">This is a finished baby cross, I used SU rubons to decorate the mat to match, there are butterflies in the baby's room.
