Jody, where have you been?


I was told tonight in a very NICE way that I have been neglecting my blog. (Hi Darlene LOL) The truth is, I have been. With the holidays creeping up on me and being sick for so long I just went BLAH!

I would LOVE to share a project with you inspired by my beautiful girls!
This was made with chipboard coasters. A friend sent them to me last week and I was SO ready to try them out. I adhered patterned paper to the front of the coasters. Then, I sanded the edges. I stamped the cute Snowman and sentiment by A Muse and placed all the pieces on the coasters. Then, I attached the coasters together with some hinges. To finish it off, of course I had to adorn it with ribbon galore. The sentiment on this project says, "you make my heart melt." My girls DEFINITELY have that effect on me. :)
ETA: The hinges were thrown in my embellishment box, so I am not 100% sure who makes them. I am thinking they are making memories though. To attach them, I used my crop-o-dile and punched holes in the coasters to put the brads through. If I made another one, I would probably try a smaller hole. Tyhe hinges are a little "jiggly" and I would prefer them to be more sturdy. I used chalk inks to color the backside of the coasters. It is a darkish green that matches the green in the paper. :) I hope that answers your questions. :)

  3. I love your coaster project. One question, though. Did you do anything to the back side of it, or is it just white? I am waiting on my coaster order and can't wait to play. Where did you get your hinges?
    Thanks for any additional info.
