I purchased this awesome wood magnetic board at the Scrapbook Page in Kansas. They had an awesome one on display there. Thank goodness my sisters were able to take a photo and send it to me so I could have some ideas to start with. First I used a stain for the frame. Then I stamped the writing on the frame. I used papers from Tim Holtz to make the flowers and magnets. The background is one 12 X 12 sheet that is held in place with the magnets so I can change it whenever I want to.
I got this idea from an email from Northridge Publishing. I started with an inexpensive frame I found at Michael's. I put a little fiberfill between the frame back and the fabric and put it together. I cut off all of the excess fabric so It wouldn't show.
The 2 lay-outs I submitted to Club CK for the weekly challenge. The lay-outs had to have the following brads, letter stickers, banner, hand journaling, stitching. at least 2 photos and the colors yellow, orange and or blue.
We filled a kiddie pool and put a boogie board in for Sophie to practice her surfing skills. It wasn't deep enough for her to swim in but she did ride the man made waves.
