More Memos

Another round memo board done with "Boom-di-ada" paper pack. These are so fun to do!! The ribbon is simply threaded through the buttons to make a hanger. Since it is not attached in any other way, the ribbon can be shortened if desired, by simply pulling more through the button and trimming off the excess.

Close up of the shabby paper ribbon which I hand stitched through with floss. The four magnets are covered with paper and given a coat of Liquid Glass for a beautiful shine.

An outline of Liquid Glass around the letters gives them a pop & sparkle.

Pizza Tonight?

This magnetic memo board was inspired by a similar one seen at convention in July. It's pretty quick & easy and fun to use and display.

The base of the memo board is a pizza pan! I found a set of two at Ollie's for somewhere in the $5 range. You can't find a memo board for that little, much less a really sweet one like this!

This next photo is a close up of the hanger as it's attached to the front. The pizza pan is designed with a pattern of 1/4" holes punched through it. I threaded the ribbon through one of those holes from the back of the pan and then through a button on the front side. The tension of the ribbon through the button holes is enough by itself to keep the ribbon in place. Repeat on the opposite front side with the other end of the ribbon.

The letters were cut on my Cricut and then "fussy glued" which is a technique I learned from this blog: The Craftiblog. (you'll want to peruse her blog and probably bookmark it while you are there!) The top layers of the letters are offset on purpose to contrast the green & blue.

This close up shows my magnets covered with co-ordinating paper & a layer of Liquid Glass. You can also see the details in my seams, the border punch used on one seam and rough-ruffled paper ribbon on the other. The papers used for this project are all from the Emporium Level 2 packet.
