Fun with Magnets!


The first time I tried my Epiphany Crafts tool I immediately thought it would be fun to make magnets with them!!! So Kennedy and I tried it out!

We grabbed some cute paper and cardstock, our Cuttlebug and dies, ink, a few embellishments and the EC tools. Kennedy had a blast! Well, I did too!


This long magnet was actually something I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby. It had some saying painted on it but I knew I could make it cute myself! So I covered it with paper, inked it, added a glittery metal circle, die cut key and topped it with an EC heart!!


For these two, I used the EC tool to make the center hearts. Then we used the Cuttlebug for the layered flowers.


I made these the same way, I just used the circle shape rather than the heart.

Sorry the photo is blurry on this one! We used a funky flower from The Girl's Paperie and added and EC heart to the middle!
The four creations below are Kennedy's! She picked out all the paper and die cut shapes herself. We used the Cuttlebug together (it is still a little hard for her to turn alone). And she did used the EC tool!


Watcha think?! It was a very fun afternoon craft project!!! Thanks for looking!

Halloween Crafts with Kennedy

For pretty much any and every hoilday, Kennedy and I create some sort of craft. This year, she was really into glitter!!!!
We were looking through some Martha Stewart projects and were inspired to create this glittery pumpkin face in a frame. We cute out the pieces from chipboard, modge podged them and the dumped tons of glitter on top!

But she couldn't stop there! We had a wooden cat that never was used from alst year. So Kenendy decided she wanted to glitter it up as well! By the end of the craft time, there was glitter everywhere!!!!! And there still is! Do you know how hard it is to get up crystal fine glitter from your floors??! ;)


I am so glad my daughter has a heart for crafting like I do! ;)

My next project came from the amazingly talented Linda Albrecht! You can check out her "Pumpkin Head" here!

I had fun making this project. In fact, Kennedy helped me some! She picked out the pumpkin head with me nd even painted the inside of the basket black for me! I am constantly inpsired by the fabulous Miss Linda - I am so glad I finally tried one of her projects. I have been in the altering mood for sure now! However, I need to work on my glue gun skills! I went a little wild and overdid some. ;)



Also, I have fun scrappy news to share! I have been asked to join the DT at The Sampler Kit Club! You can see the announcement HERE! Soon I will have some great projects to share from their inagural kit!
