Dollarstore - all year long.....




My favorite projects, are ALWAYS alterables. So with that being said, the dollarstore has no shortage of stuff to alter. My favorites are their sweet little birdhouses, their woodensigns, and little boxes. This time I picked up a few clipboards to try out...

I sent some calendars through to a local printing company and they printed them off for me...40 calendars for $3!! How can you beat that. Also from the dollarstore I got the bullnose clips. My cropodile made it super easy to put the holes in each corner, which I strung with twine so it can easily be hung up (twine also from the dollarstore) The little mini notepad I made myself from plain copy paper.

Ingredients:
K&Company- designer paper
Ink: So Saffron (Stampin Up!)
Embellishments:
Rick rack (Stampin Up!)
Seam binding (Martha Stewart)
Bakers twine (Stampin Up!)
misc. buttons & brads
Mod Podge
Dollarstore finds:
clipboard
bullnose clip
twine
brads

Morning Cup






So I picked up an issue of Cardmaking and Papercrafts the other day, it was at my local Coles store, it came with a sweet set of clear animal stamps...it was a great mag to read and browse, and also I went to the website and it has a really great variety of info, tutorials and challenges.

 Here's the card I did for the recent sketch challenge.
ingredients: Stamps: Morning Cup (SU), Paper: tea party, baja breeze, pear pizazz, very vanilla, Ink: Black Staz-on Crochet trim (dollarstore) button
