Here is a fun and easy project to do.

I love to alter things and I also love to include my kids in some of my projects. We sat down a while back and created fridge magnets from coasters. You can purchase coasters in bulk and most LSS’s or online. You can collect them when you go out to supper or at the bars. You also have the option of making your own out of chipboard!!

Pick some patterned papers and a wallet size photo. Adhere the paper to your coaster/chipboard. The girls inked the edges of the coaster. We then added thier photos and some flowers and ribbon. They found these neat alpha brads in my stash and we added their names to it. We also applied some rub ons as well. Next we adhered a magnet to the back of the coaster.

Viola….. some fun and simple fridge magnets!

I plan on making some more this weekend with the girls.

If you create any magnets please email me at thynner5@yahoo.ca and put “CCAS Magnets” in the subject line. You may also link it here on the blog. You will earn a ballot for this month’s Blog Prize!!

Since I’ve been taking it easy on everyone this month I thought I would make things a little more challenging!!

I would like to see you alter something. It could be something as small as a CD or coaster or something as big as a canvas. There are no limits or guidelines. You have full creative reign to do what you would like to do.

Here is an altered Composition Book I did. I purchased the book for $2.00 and away I went. I have always wanted a spot to put my sketches in. I have been using random sheets and scraps of paper. I have been creating a massive collection of loose papers. Now I can have them all in one book!

I used a funky line by Love Elsie. I have to admit that I looked at the adhesive backed fabric paper and thought…. “huh”?? It is perfect for covering a book. A friend of mine at weScrap even used the Love Elsie fabric and made an adorable heart to adorn her lovely daughter’s t-shirt!!

Please email your creation to me at: thynner5@yahoo.ca and put “CCAS Blog Challenge” in the subject line. You could also link it to me here on the blog.

All creations will earn you a ballot into the Monthly Blog Draw! Look for a sneak peek at this month’s prize pack later this week! Good Luck.

I wanted to share an entry I received for last week’s Felt challenge. This lovely creation was sent in by Jacqueline. I adore everything. The colors, the pictures and the adorable handmade felt owl! Jacqueline has earned a ballot for this month’s draw. Thanks again for letting me post it on the blog!
