Day 44

Today's craft is pretty funny.  Well the outcome is anyway. 

I have this picture of a field of sunflowers that I enjoy and decided to make it into a Shrinky Dink magnet.  I printed it onto the Shrinky Dink paper with no problem.  It started going down hill when I cut it out.  The cutter I used skipped on the edges, so I had to use regular scissors to trim it.  Apparently while I was cutting I must have had a seizure or something because I went all over the place and though it didn't look to bad at first, I then baked it!  ugh  And on top of the not so straight cutting job, while it was baking, the Shrinky Dink curled and got stuck in a sausage like roll.  I had to use two steak knifes to pry it apart!  Steak knifes and Shrinky Dinks, not a good mix.

So the good news, I got it to lay flat.  Bad news, it looks a mess!  I still slapped some magnet tape on the back and called it a day because the picture is still pretty, and it's currently holding up a picture, so hey, mission accomplished!

Day 6

I admit it, I sort of cheated tonight.  All I can say is "I bow to you, Ms. Martha Stewart".  I get daily emails from Ms. Martha and this bookmark was one I received the other day.  Complete with template...yeah, I said I cheated!  I printed the bookmark template on the colored cardstock, cut it out, cut out the collar, added the magnet tape, folded here and there, and VOILA!  Instant bookmark!!  Hey, it's a craft!  Tonight is TV night with Stan so I didn't want to interfere with time that could be yelling at Zack on Ghost Adventures (geeze, I really can't stand him!), so here is my cute little magnet bookmark!
