Magnetic Organization Station

Hey, everyone!

Thank you for the get well wishes! I am feeling better than I was but my chest still hurts a lot and I keep coughing. I don't want to take my cough syrup that the N.P. gave me because I am afraid I won't be able to hear the kids if they get up in the night. The antibiotics are working though and Kadesia is doing MUCH better!

I didn't do any stamping on the project I want to share with you today but it is definitely a semi-handmade item! I got this little calendar and notepad from the store on a flimsy little piece of matboard and it eventually fell apart. The notepads were behind the calendar on the same matboard. I decided I would just separate the two, cut a piece of chipboard large enough to hold both, then covered it with a piece of paper from the Kaleidoscope Brites paper from The Angel Company. I put 4 magnet strips on the back and hung it up on my fridge. It holds up well!

With June being a month of graduations, Father's Day and weddings I was thinking how much fun these would be to make for gifts. You could customize these for whatever size you want to include a photo, maybe use a transparency sheet for a dry erase message board, or add the person's name across the top! I think it would make a nice house warming gift, too. You could include a space for a weekly menu and lots more! The notepad on this particular project was already decorated but if you get the plain ones you could stamp them yourself, or even just the top sheet. If you make one, I'd love to see it! Let me know what you think of this magnetic organization station!!! Thanks for hanging out with me today! If you didn't get your newsletter yet, please let me know because I have a special perk for all my E-newsletter subscribers this month! It's a little "bonus" that I won't be sharing on my blog!

BVC09 MARCH VERSE

Hey, everyone!

First let me just say, if you know of someone that was affected by the tornado last night, please know that I am praying for all the victims and my heart really goes out to them! It is so devastating and I cannot even imagine losing my home! To think you may be sitting down to dinner one minute and it's all gone the next...my prayers are with them all!! Please stay safe tonight...the news reports are saying "Part Two" of what happened last night will be coming this way between 3 and 6 a.m.

Today's post is for my Bible Verse Challenge (BVC09). The birds are singing outside the window here and the weather has been very warm lately so I am hoping spring is near! The verse I chose for the month of March is found in Isaiah 45:8.
If you cannot read this very well from the picture the scripture reads:

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness:

let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.

Thanks for checking in with me today! I will post the StampTACular Tuesday Challenge tomorrow! Christina will have something awesome to share, too!!! Don't miss it!

Divine Design Bible Verse Challenge 09

Hey, everyone!

This month has been super busy for me, as far as crafting goes. I love it!!! I have been able to make handmade birthday cards and give them out for our family having a birthday except for one and it will be a little late due to the winter storm we are having here!

One of my goals for the new year was to read my Bible more and study it...not just read a scripture or two and go on, but actually dig into the Word and search out the scriptures for myself. I haven't done as much of that as I wanted to but I did start a challenge with Amber and Christina that I share here on my blog each Wednesday. I found another challenge and was very excited about it on SplitCoastStampers. HERE is the link if you want to read more about it. It's a once a month challenge so I thought I could handle that! LOL

Here is what I came up with....a scripture book, sort of like a perpetual calendar. Here is the outside cover. I love that my shiny purple and white ribbon go with our Winterberry paper (V-903) so well. I printed the title from a computer program I have. The purple dots were made using my purple Tombow marker from the Brights set (F-01) and a 6" plastic canvas heart. I just lined up a square portion of the mesh heart and poked the marker through each hole. It was lined up perfectly! I chose to get the hearts because it has straight and curved lines so I can use it for many different projects! The chipboard covers are 4x4 squares (H-102) and you can use ¾" black binding wire if you want (F-531). The Bind-It-All is item #F-506 annd you can get it half-price! Just ask me how.
The inside pages are 3¾"x3¾" of black cardstock (V-215). I used my Dymo label maker for the months just to make it quick and easy. You could easily stamp the months using Calendar Doodles (T-2819) and in any ink color you choose. I am not crazy about the orange labels but it will do! LOL I selected a scripture for each month of the year and I will share that with you each month. I know it is sort of late in the month now but I would like to share this month's scripture with you. It's a great verse to remember anytime of the year. It is found in 2 Corithians 5:17 (KJV) and it says:
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

I hope you are inspired to make a book with the Bind-It-All. There are so many different things you can make. I love mine and it makes gift-giving so much easier now!

Hugs,
