A Wed Idea?



This is an idea for a group i am on. We are doing different techniques and ideas each Wednesday. I did this a long time ago when i just started scrapping. I thought i would bring it back!! It is very easy and does not take a lot of paper!!

You use 3 sheets of 6x6 pattern paper, then 6 squares of 3x3 cardstock. You will need another square smaller than 3x3 for the front embellishment, 1 brad, small piece of embroidery DMC floss or other thin string or yarn. Then, whatever you are going to use to embellish it.

I can not wait to make an updated one. This one is from about 6 years ago!! I will put it up when i do!!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF IT??? It is great for school pictures or sports pictures!!

License Plate for 1 to 1 swap...


I thought this came out really cute. I am going to have to make one for me!! I made this for a group that i am on. We are doing 1 to 1 swaps. We are learning new things or trying them again. We make them and then swap with another person. It is a lot of fun!!
