RAK Friendship Card

RAK (random acts of kindness) they are so wonderful to receive. Andrea sent me these wonderful friendship cards. They are even better in person. I know the recipients will love them too. Thanks Andrea. Check our her inspiring blog Here.

Photo Edit

I saw several blogs with before and after pictures. They also had some Adobe Photoshop techniques I had not used before. I can't give credit to just one site, because I used tips from several and only took notes. I can credit the frame to Pam LeFors Designs . 

It's Spring break can you tell...two posts in one day.

Door Toppers

The hardest part of making door toppers is getting them balanced to sit on the small door jam . The front can not be too heavy. I like using black foam board the best, but sometimes it can be a little expensive. Mount the graphic on foam board and cut out with a hot knife or scroll saw. Graphics are Laurie Furnell and Shelly Cominskey from pccrafter.com

  

Recycle Glue Tape to Adhesive Dot

I love using adhesive dots for my projects but they are so expensive. On the project above, I used homemade small dot for the button and a large dot on the flower.  They work wonderfully. Here is a picture of the two sizes I used. Hint: don't put them so close together.

I recycled the used roll from my ATG and I recycled postage stamp sheets. I also saved the wide paper, roll and box from use Glue Dots. I found the stamp sheets hard to store and probably won't use them again. The glue I used was Aleen's Tack it Over and Over. The small dots and thin 1/2" dots only need 24 hours to dry. The 1/2" thick dots, I let dry for two days.

 I used an empty 1/2" ribbon roll for the ATG strip. For the small dots I liked the shallow roll instead of the deeper.

Thanks to Linda, here is a video instruction from Stampbuster  on making your own glue dots.
