The Blues - Club Scrap Blog Hop & Give-Away!

I've got The Blues today...because that's the awesome theme of this month's Club Scrap kit!!  I can't tell you how thrilled I was when I saw this month's kit....  Beautiful shades of BLUE!!!



Since blue is my absolute favorite color I decided that I wanted to make something for my craft room.  As luck would have it a couple months ago I ordered the Magnetic Messenger project so I decided to swap out the papers the project came with and use this kit instead!

Now as many of you know I'm not really a "by the book" kind of gal so I "sort of" followed the directions but not exactly.  Instructions are just suggestions right?  ;)  Anyway, it was lots of fun to make and it came together nicely.  It's approx. 14x14" finished without the ribbon.


Everything is from The Blues kit paper wise.  The bottle caps and round wood magnets were included in the Magnetic Messenger kit - I just added the papers.  The cloths pin magnets are something I made from stuff in my stash  (the pin & magnets) but the paper and guitars came from this kit as well.



The sentiment was from the embellishment pack as was the hanging ribbon.
Below is a closer look at the magnets....


The cloths pins make super magnets because you can hold several pieces of paper together or hang up a note pad or a piece of art.  Lots of fun and really easy to make.


I still need to fill the bottle caps but I wanted some blue glitter and beads which I didn't have at the time.  Once I get them I'm going to fill it with Crystal Lacquer and the beads.  

GIVE-AWAY ALERT!!!

Now I can't part with my "Blues" messenger board BUT I did happen to order an extra 8x8" Magnetic Messenger project (complete with papers, metal sheet board and magnet pieces) to give away!!

All you need to do to be entered is leave a comment or send me an e-mail.  You have until 6-17 to enter for your chance to win!
