Monster EOS Holders with Kathy

Hi Everyone, it’s Kathy today with a really fun idea for Halloween.  I know it’s early, but I just couldn’t resist these cute Lip Balm Monsters that are New in Lori’s shop!  Take a peek…

Aren’t they adorable??? These would be great for Halloween or Monster themed parties or for those special trick-or-treaters in your life!  They go together really quickly too!  Here are some close-ups of the individual monsters… I call them Moe, Larry & Curley…

To Do List with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today with a cute little project to help you organize!  If you’re anything like me, you have lists and sticky notes everywhere in your house!  I’m a firm believer in, “if it doesn’t get written down, it doesn’t get done!”  I saw Lori’s To Do List with Pen Holder file  (here in Silhouette Store) and thought that this would be the perfect way to consolidate all of my notes!  Take a peek…

I used the new The Story of Family Collection that Lori designed for Echo Park.  I love the colors!

I love the little tab on the side to hold a pen… I can never find one when I want one!

For the list paper, I used regular copy paper… I stapled the tops together, then adhered the “paper pad” into the list holder.  This went together really fast!  I’m going to make a few more, one for my purse and one for my daughter it will come in handy now that school is starting!  That’s it for me!  Thanks for stopping by!

Creating a Dry Erase Board with Kathy

Hi everyone!  It’s Kathy today with a fun tutorial to create a dry erase board.   I can’t believe we are almost back to school, this summer has flown by!  I thought that this project would be perfect for the inside of a locker, or on a dorm room door!  It was really easy to put together… check it out…

I started by enlarging one of the tags from Lori’s 4 Basic Tags File (here in Silhouette Store).  I made sure it was narrow enough to fit into a school locker.    I also used pieces from Lori’s A2 Shaped Card Butterfly (here in Silhouette Store ) & A2 Shaped Card Flower ( here in Silhouette Store ) as embellishments to my board.

Next I adhered all of the pieces together…

I placed the whole project into a laminating sleeve. which I then ran through my laminator.  If you do not have a laminator, you can bring your project to a nearby office supply store.  Most have laminating services.

I trimmed the excess laminate, leaving about 1/8″ around the edge.

To finish the board, I added some Velcro to hold the dry erase pen to the board, and a ribbon to hang the board.

The board cleans off easily with a dry cloth!   The fun part is you can customize the board using different shapes and colors…it could be used for boys or girls!

That’s it for me today, thanks so much for stopping by!

Tags… not just for gifts anymore!

Hi Everyone, it’s Kathy today with a fun, new way to use one of Lori’s files!  As soon as I saw the Gift Tag Set (here in the Silhouette Store) I thought that it would make a fun Mini Album!  The tags are the perfect size for smaller photos including those adorable Instax photos!  Take a peek at what I created….

 

I started by cutting the file for the box and tags and assembling them.  I then printed out some fun Instant pictures of my kitties.

(A little hint when choosing a patterned paper for your box… make sure that the print looks ok upside down!  Otherwise the back of your box will have the pattern going the wrong way!)

To decorate the front of my box, I used pieces from Lori’s Cat Belly Box (here in the Silhouette Store) to make my kitty faces… and added some stickers and alphas from the collection I used.  On to creating my “pages”… I simply added my pictures and some embellishments to each Tag, and gathered them all together with a ring and some ribbon!  It went together so quickly!

Here are some close-ups of the Tag Pages…

You could make a quick and easy mini using the Gift Tag Set  to showcase some vacation photos or maybe a little brag book for a new mom or grandparent!  It goes together very quickly and the results are so fun!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by!

Anniversary Keepsake with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today with a fun project I created as a little something to give my parents for their 50th Anniversary.  We went on a fun trip to Maine as a family, and we’re planning a party later in the year, but I wanted to give them a little something to commemorate the day!  Take a peek…

I started with an 8×10 block of wood that I painted and sanded the corners.  The K is from Lori’s Mega Monograms Set (here in the Silhouette Store ).   I used Lori’s LW Block Font  for the other letters.  I wanted to add a bit of sparkle, so I created a slight offset for all shapes & letters and cut them from gold paper.  Here’s a close-up…

It will look perfect on their living room bookshelf!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by!
