Awesome storage...

For ages I have been wanting to buy some magnetic sheets to store my nestabilities on, but they are quite expensive and something else always seemed to tempt me more (usually rubber stamps).

Then I found an amazing bargain at our local Klick photo shop. Magnetic photo frames that had not proved very popular and had been reduced from £1.49 to 17p.


AWESOME!!!

At first I was going to stick them on card and use them as they were, but then I saw someone saying on one of the forums I visit that she had cut A4 magnetic sheets and popped them into CD cases.

A brilliant idea that led to me cutting my frames into stripes and sticking them to the inside of a CD case. It also meant that I could use the word 'awesome' on the front of the case.



Even better is the fact that because I used a double CD case the matching sets can be stored in the same container.
No more counting the dies to make sure they are all stored safely - it's so easy to see that they are all there.



This is the back view of the case.
One frame is enough to do the two sides and leave some scraps that could be made into fridge magnets.
If you like the idea I do hope you can find a Klick photo shop that has some of the frames left.

Ribbon Holder...


A little while ago I made a present for my dear friend, Irene. It was a ribbon holder. I put pictures of it on my blog, like you do and had my socks blown off when I was picked out by the team at Inspirational for the holder to be featured on their blog.

They show such amazing work on there and to be picked out is just so special.

I was also shocked because although I liked the holder and I know my friend loves it I felt, like you do when you try something like this out, that I could have done it better!




Well here is the new improved 'all singing and dancing' version and the exciting thing is that the holder is being featured at The Pink Elephant this week as our very first tutorial!!
Isn't that just fantastic? So if you would like to know how I put the ribbon holder together do pop over to The Pink Elephant and check out the tutorial.
Thursday is going to be Tutorial day twice a month and I really can't wait to see what exciting things the other members of the design team have in store for us.

Thank you so much to great friends who have become followers of my blog. Love having you around.
