12x12 Tile Magnet Board

I made this 12x12 tile magnet board for a silent auction at church. I got the idea of the magnetic part of the tile a year or so ago from Adhering Thoughts 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.

Blessing Mix

I made Blessing Mix for my son's church and school teachers. Got the idea from Chick'n'Scratch
I used party favor boxes I had in my stash, wrapped with PP and attached the poem. Easy and cute (although they look horrible in the pic). Note to self: buy the candy corn during Halloween next year, it took me forever to find a Kroger that had any.

Mini Album

My bff threw her mom a 60th birthday party and I made this album with 60 pages for messages/well wishes and 12 pictures using the Lost & Found Madison Avenue "Cherish" line by My Mind's Eye.

Halloween

I made stickers for mini playdough tubs using SBC+ for my son's friends at school:


I made these for his teachers and a couple of special people, got the idea from Skip to My Lou:

Birthday Stuff using SBC+

My son wanted a Lightning McQueen birthday party. Here are some things I made for the party.
The invitation, printed as 4x6 photos: Thank You Notes, front and back, printed on 4x6 cardstock:


My bff made boxcars of the following characters, so I made license plates for the back of the boxcars, this was so much fun:

First Attempt at File Sharing

Creating Keepsakes posted this freebie today on Facebook from OScraps. They posted the files for Photoshop so I converted them to png files so I can use them in SBC+. The page dimensions are 5"x6". 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've gotten so many wonderful files from so many wonderful blogs, just wanted to give back. :)

Why I Love Crops!

I saw this template from CK's NSD, it was a digi template for Photoshop and I fell in love with it. 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. 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.
I couldn't think of any other recent pics that would fit the page except these (hence the color choice on the background/title).
This is a different version I made, I like them both. You can use either pictures or paper/color in each of the sections. I'll post the live templates just as soon as I figure out how to do that! :)

Thank you Crista!!
