Scenic Magnets

Well here are my masterpieces but the photos are so horrible I could scream. These magnets are images stamped onto stampboard and then colored and a magnet attached on the back.

The three on this image above, are 2 inch square stampboards. I used H2Os to paint them and this may look fantastic but it photos like #**#**.

The next group of magnets are 2.5 inch diameter circles, also on stampboard. All these are sections of Thomas Kincade stamps and again done in H2Os.

The final group are done on 2 inch square or 2 inch diameter circle stampboard. The rose image is from a stamp from Rubber Stampede.I have made more copies of each one of these. I made them for the school craft fair. I think that they would be affordable gifts for students to buy parents or as teacher gifts. If they don`t sell, guess what people will be getting attached to their gifts?

I love stamping and painting on stampboard. I bought mine at the Carousel Rubber Stamp store in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia in Canada. I have not seen them anywhere else. They are not expensive and wonderful to work with.

Well off to get lunch ready so talk

It`s a Beginning to a New Adventure

So today I decided to give it a go and start a blog. Please forgive all my mistakes and trust me there will be mistakes. Just know that I love stamping, any paper crafts, knitting and basically anything that keeps me from housework.

So how about something I have made. This is my latest love...stampboard and very detailed stamping. I stamped a section of the Thomas Kincade stamp A Perfect Summer Day and then colored it in using H2Os and a few Acrylics. I am showing both sizes of stampboard that I had in. The larger stampboard is two and a half inches circle and the smaller circle had a diameter of two inches. You can see that a smaller amount of the stamp is showing on the smaller one.

I am making magnets out of these two by simply attaching a magnetic strip on the back of the stampboard.

So what do you think.... large or small?

I purchased this stamp at http://www.cornishheritage.com/. I love that site. The H2Os are from my favorite stamping store http://www.carouselrubberstamps.com/ a store in Darthmouth, Nova Scotia. I adore shopping there, the owner Dejah is one very talented lady.

Please leave comments and give me any hints on how to make this a great blog.
Until tomorrow...share the joy
