Polymer Charms for a Notebook February 20, 2015 Good morning! I found a cute notebook at Walmart a few weeks ago and decided to jazz it up a bit. The tag (Today was a very good day) on the front of the notebook is a card from WeRMemory Keepers note card for scrapbooking. Washi tape was placed on the top and bottom to secure the card. The cute stickers are from HL (Hobby Lobby). I also attached two charms I made (donut and palette) to a Tim Holtz key chain and attached it to my notebook. Have a great day!

February 19, 2015 Polymer Clay Charms Good morning! Last Summer I purchased the book Clay Charms by KLUTZ. I found a copy at Joann's and used the 50% off coupon, I think the final price was around $11. This is a great book for a beginner crafter that does not have the tools and ingredients for creating clay charms. Inside the book is a variety of clay, eye pins, glaze, a detailed book....etc etc. Last night my kids and I used the Sculpey Mold Maker to create cupcake molds. This is a cheaper version of the Amazing Mold Putty. We each made our own cupcake mold, above you can see the cupcake I made using the mold. I found a few videos on youtube about creating molds for polymer clay. I purchased a little bag of mini-Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and used a cup to create my cupcake mold. I am going to try other items to try and create an even smaller cupcake mold in the future.  Please leave any questions or comments in the comments section below. Thanks!:0)

Valentine's Day Wreath This is a Valentine's Day wreath I made for my daughter's bedroom door. I wrapped a foam circle wreath I found at the Dollar Tree with brown yarn. The saying and the koala are shapes I cut from the Create a Critter 2 cartridge. Below is a closer picture. Have a great night!

Planner Charm January 19, 2015 Good afternoon! We went to the Galleria last weekend and I purchased my FIRST Filofax, a Ochra Malden. I've seen so many bloggers that have charms on their planners. I think in the future I will try and make one with beads; but for now, I am sharing an idea I came up with yesterday. I love the charms at James Avery, BUT I did not notice any charms with a lobster claw. I DID notice Brighton had charms with a lobster claw. I brought my planer to try it out.....AND it worked! Just a couple notes in case you decide you would like to add one to your planner. Only one charm can be added to the lobster claw because of the size of the opening of the lobster claw. You can interchange the charms! How cool is that!  Ok, I have one more post to make, hope you like the planner charm. Have a great night!

January 11, 2015 Good evening! Here are a couple of pictures of my planner set-up.  I got a Mint Kikki-k planner for Christmas. I am still working on the set-up....but here is what I have so far..... the outside .....lots of pockets in the front. Behind the pockets I keep my (volunteer) stickers and stamps. On the planned volunteer day I have a sticker for the school that I volunteer at. I have a green and yellow plastic folder which I am currently using to place receipts...thought that may change.  I laminated and placed holes in a postcard I purchased in New Mexico. I am using the back as a sort of dashboard to place post-its.  I used washi tape to attach laminated school pix of my kiddos. JANUARY 2015  planner pages I found the stickers at HL (Hobby Lobby), I believe I purchased the washi tape online from Joann's.  The bug stickers are from Target.  To create the banner: I placed washi tape on post-it paper and punched the banner shap
