Homemade Picture Puzzle

Ok well if you thought the hot plate was the coolest thing ever....well this...it's just even better! It's a homemade block picture puzzle! Doesn't it look like tons of fun to try and figure out?! And see of course I could have just used some pictures for the puzzle but that would have been way too quick and easy! So I made scrapbook pages for each side of the puzzle, some with multiple photos! This is going to be a tough one to put together! And some seriously great news is...I have the "kit" available for you too! By kit I mean you get the 6 scrapbook page downloads, sized perfectly for your puzzle, you add your photos and then you can follow the tutorial that has plenty of pictures and detailed instructions so you can create you own block picture puzzle! Over teh next few days I will be showing you the up close finished scrapbook pages with my kids photos, well cause they are cute!

Homemade Magnets!

So as I was going through the desk drawer I found that I had 2 printable magnet sheets! So of course I had to use some of my fabulous fall pictures to make some fun magnets! This was such a fun and easy project to do and I LOVE having pictures of us as our magnets! So all I did was pick a few photos and arrange them on an 8.5 X 11 page, I sized my magnets about 2 X 3...I think maybe a little bigger...either way I got 9 on my sheet. Then I simply told the printer to print! And here they are, some homemade magnets! Of course I did say I had 2 sheets of magnet paper, so I have some fun scrapbook-y type magnets to make next, ooh maybe Halloween magnets! Keep an eye out, you know I will show you when I finish them!

The group of magnets arranged so nicely before use!

The file I arranges and printed, you can see that 2 of them have had fun photo masks done to them along with some muting of the color, it's hard to see in the photo but they also have the boys names and ages on them too!

Some Baby layouts

Here are a few of Josh's Baby layouts, documenting before he was born...setting up his bassinet, and my fals alarm the sent me to the hospital for a day without returning with a baby!

Fun Fall Hot Plate

So I had a stroke of brilliance and decided to make myself some lovely photo hot plates! The hot plates and hot pads I have are completely boring! And once you see these, you will think yours are boring too! When they could be made with pictures of your wonderful family for cheaper than you could buy one, you just HAVE to try it out! So I did! And it came out fabulously! You can see here is my finished hot plate: Here is an up close of the 2 I made for myself (digital version) so you can see the pictures and how cute the pages are.

And here is the preview with all 6 pages I created. The great thing is these pages are 6 X 6 so even if you don't want to make a hot plate you can always use them as scrapbook pages! When you buy the download you will get the .PNG files for all 6 pages as well as a full tutorial with pictures detailing the supplies you need and how to complete the project! I hope you enjoy this project as much as I do, I can't wait to use these on Thankgiving to set the hot dishes on! Everyone can check out their cuteness while they wait for dinner to be ready!

Crafty Idea Book

So I am always writing my crafty ideas on random post it notes...and well those get lost, or start to pike up and I have no idea where my ideas are! And then I forget about all the great ideas I had, cause I lose them...so I decided to make a notebook to keep track of everything in one handy little place! I created this file digitally, I love the look of it, almost looks just like my craft desk! And then I simply uploaded it to shutterfly and printed out a lined 200 page notebook with my design as the cover! How fun is that?!! You can also get a blank notebook, which I will be creating for my artist of a son soon here...per his request. So if you like my notebook and want your own, I thought I would offer up the file...then I realized this kit isn't for commercial use :( SO....you can't have THIS particular notebook, but if you would like me to create one for you just send me an email and I would be happy to make one up with one of my commercial use kits, and offer it here on the blog for the usual $1.

The finished product!

Tic Tac Toe

Another fun Halloween printable! Just print out on some Stampin Up Whisper White (that stuff is THE BEST!) and laminate it. Punch out the circles with a circle punch and play some Halloween tic tac toe! FUN!

Wedding Fun!

Sorry I have been away from the blog, I had some super imporant things going on preparing for and celebrating my sister's wedding! Here is my most favorite picture (so far) I will be back with some new stiff soon, and you can be certain you will be seeing some fun wedding related stuff!

Halloween Countdown!

As I was surfing the web I came across this fabulous idea from Collette over at My computer is my canvas. I had to get creating and come up with some of my own designs! These are printable Halloween Countdowns! Whne you purchase you will receive an email with the downloadable file, and then you print it out at home. I created an 8.5 X 11 size that counts down the spooky 13 days before trick or treating...and a 12 X 12 size that does the full 31 day countdown. Anyone with a printer can order the 8.5 X 11 one(s) and print it out on your home computer. For the 12 X 12 you will need a printer that can handle that size, or if you don't have one (like me) you can upload to Costco and have it printed for you...which is what I will be doing! So what I did was printed out one of my 8.5 X 11 countdowns onto some nice whisper white paper from Stampin Up. Then I stuck it into one of those stand up acrylic frames and used a mini glue dot to attach some fall colored Hershey Kisses to the front! That way your page doesn't get torn up when you take the candy off each day. And you can see when you take the candy off it reveals a cute little Halloween character! I just loved how these turned out! You will be seeing more printables from me very soon so keep checking back! The 8.5 X 11 ones are now available in my Etsy store!Fright Night Here is my example printed out in the frame with the Hershey Kisses

Put your favorite photos that capture the season into the quick page and display it for the 3 months of that season! Enjoy! Titles
