A new twist on a picture frame...

Did you know that you can turn any picture frame into a dry-erase board? It's true! The glass surface acts the same as a dry-erase surface. This opens up so many possibilities for awesome boards! 

Here is my very first board. I made this for my niece for her birthday. It matches the name frame I gave her last summer and it will go great in her purple bedroom! I used the pattern Main Frame - Quilt Blocks from the CTMH Reflections book for the layout.

This frame is actually an LP record frame and it measures 12.5 inches x 12.5 inches. You can also buy 12x12 frames if you want to use a scrapbook page in the frame. Of course, any size frame will work...the possibilities are endless. The thing I love most about this project is that you can change the layout at any time. I hope you like this new twist on a picture frame!

Riley Thank You Card

Last night I dug out my Riley stamps and made a thank you card for a colleague. Our technology director was a huge help in making the arrangements for me to attend the state technology conference in Hershey last week, so I wanted to make him a card to show my appreciation. I used all CTMH paper and colored the image with my copic markers. It's hard to see on the photo, but I added liquid glass to the computer screen. The card is super-cute in person (of course, I think anything made with a Riley stamp is super-cute!) For more information on Riley stamps, go to the Riley and Company Website.

Another CD Case Project

Sorry I've been MIA for a while. The last two weeks have been super busy. I attended a conference in Hershey for five days, and have been catching some girls' basketball games. Our local high school team has been making a pretty good run in the playoffs. They won the league title two weeks ago and are playing for the district title tomorrow night. I finally had some time to make a few things last night. First, I made another CD Case Project as a favor for a friend. This is the same idea as the one I posted a few weeks ago with different paper.
