Dishwasher Magnets

Aren't these the cutest?!!  I saw one on Silhouette America, although it was a bit different then this, and thought I MUST make that!  I decided to put the ribbon on for a bit of a handle.  I find when I try to grab a magnet off the fridge and don't have nails, it's somewhat difficult.  So, you just yank on the ribbon, off pops the magnet and turn it around accordingly.  APPARENTLY some people I live with (hubby & the cat but I won't say which one) doesn't want to take the time to see if there is dirty or clean dishes in the dishwasher.  LOL!!  Well I'd like to make it as easy as possible for the dishes to go IN TO the dishwasher. 



I used my biggest nestibilites for both magnets.  The top magnet has Bo Bunny paper and the bottom magnet has vinyl and both are covered with lace snowflake flocked vinyl I cut with my Silhouette.  Then I added the finishing touches!  VOILA!

Sassy Cheryl's

So I thought I discovered a cheater way of making christmas cards.  Visit Sassy Cheryl's and HOLI COW you can find all kinds of already colored images!  But I discovered that it takes me just as long to actually MAKE the card especially when I do crap like this.  Well, not to say it's crap it's just ..... well.....did you know making gorgeous simple cards is a talent all by itself?  Ya, I didn't possess that one.  Me and my freakin' embellishments!!  Jeeps!  But I like them anyway.

This image is called Single Box Top Snowmen.  Aren't they fun?

Friday Sketchers #128

Well not much to say about this card other then that I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers below.  I LOVE that they have a sketch a week!!!  I did turn this sketch sideways to try to fit my image.


I did add 2 rows of pine borders to follow the sketch but added another row of Barbara Trombley's Elements "Earth Textures - Roots" to give it a more woodsey feel.  Is that a word?
