I am so happy to be sharing this post with you today!  I recently discovered the Roeda Studio and their product line.  They have a line of frames, bulletin boards, dry erase boards, easels and magnetic shapes to embellish them all.  This allows you to build your own customized look for your home or for gifts.  What this video for some examples.



I really like their These United States Collection, which is made up of memo boards shaped like all of the states.  This would be a really cute wedding gift for two people board in different states . . . how cute would that be on the wall to have two memo boards shaped like the states they were born in.

Okay . . . back to my project . . .

I have been wanting a memo board for our kitchen for a while now.  I wanted something where I could leave a "to do list" for my teenage daughter, so if she was not up before I left for work she would know that I wanted her to take care of a few things before I got home.  I also wanted to use this for a way to remind all of the family of the errands we might have to accomplish over the weekend.

My family had been using post-it notes for this, but depending on where you put the note, it may not be seen by everyone.  Also, due to the size of the post-it notes there were times that I had to use 2 or 3 for all of the items I needed to list.

Now our family uses the Roeda Studio Dry Erase To Do Board!


First, it was SO EASY to put up on the wall in our kitchen.  Just 2 nails . . . done.

Second, the words "to do" are cut out of the board at the top.  I think this is a great idea, since it allows the color of the wall behind it to come through, so this board will match ANY decor for ANY room of your house . . . the color of the words IS your wall!

Third, the board has a lot of space so I can write messages or even put up an invitation to a family members wedding.  This is nice since we all have gotten invitations that have gotten lost in the pills of papers on the desk or the counter.  This way the invitation is up on display.


Fourth, the flowers and butterfly that you see on this board are all magnets.  I can get different ones to match my decor or the seasons/holidays.  I used two of the flowers like the bullet points in front of the different items listed on the to do list. 

                      

Here I simply changed out some of the magnets, making the butterflies the bullet points and put more flowers around the wedding invitation.  You could also display birth announcements . . . which would remind you to send a gift for the new baby.  A family photo or vacation picture would look nice here also.  Since it is all magnetic it makes it so easy to change out.


And these little magnets are STRONG!  I know I have two on the corner of this photo, but that is only because I thought the board looked cuter with two.  When we ere taking these out of the package my teenage daughter even commented on how strong the magnets were.  She said "Normally the cute ones are not strong enough to hold anything up . . . they did a good job with these!"

The other thing I like about a magnetic system is that you dont end up putting holes into your photos with push pins.

Tomorrow I can erase the list and start a new one for the family to get done.  When winter comes along I want to use some snowflakes or snowmen on this board.

I know that I normally blog about crafting projects, but yesterday I tried the Dry Rub from Croix Valley Foods and just had to share this product with you.  My sister just recently started working with them doing in store demos of their products.  


One of the products she was featuring was the dry rub.  So that customers could really get the taste of the rub and not the food that you would put the rub on when she is doing in store samples they make this oyster cracker mixer.  When I tasted this mix I thought that this would be a great party mix, instead of Chex Mix so I asked her for the recipe.  


2/3 cup canola oil
1 cap full of Croix Valley dry rub

Dump the canola oil and the rub into a large plastic baggie and mix well.

Add one bag of oyster crackers.  Close the bag and shake until it is mixed well  Let sit at least 30 minutes so that everything soaks in.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the Love Wins Blog Hop!

We wanted to celebrate the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing same sex marriage.  As everyone knows, the rainbow is the symbol used by LGBT supporters. Since one of our most popular products is our rainbow rhinestone sticker sheets we thought this just seemed like a perfect match.  


I love the way this turned out!  The bright pink is the perfect accent to the rainbow heart shape that I cut on my Cricut using my Create a Critter 2 cartridge.  Thats right . . . you can cut shapes out of our rhinestone sticker sheets!  The gems are made of a soft resin material so you can cut right through it.  It is a lot like cutting through those "jellie" shoes of the 80s.  I did a video that shows how to cut the product on your Cricut HERE.


For my next project I decided to make napkin rings.  These were super easy to make.  Just cut the rhinestone sticker sheet to size with your scissors, remove the adhesive backing and stick!


These would be a great way to dress up a dinner party, engagement party or even the wedding.

Some of the other Design Team members from The Buckle Boutique have created projects also, so make sure to hop over and see what they have created.  The full line up is below.

Growing up I was a huge fan of PEEPS . . . those sugar covered marshmallow bunnies that would fill my Easter basket each year.  This year I decided to create a PEEPS bunny garland using the Oly Fun fabric from Fairfield.  

For this project I used the yellow, pink and light purple (orchid) Oly Fun.  


I searched PEEPS online to find a bunny outline I liked, and then I printed it out at the size I wanted.  I made mine about 4 inches tall, but you can make yours bigger or smaller depending on the look you want for your finished project.


Next I traced the PEEP outlines onto the Oly Fun with a pencil.  You could also tape or pin the PEEP shape to the Oly Fun and then cut around it.


Here is my pile of PEEPS after I had them all cut out.  Since Oly Fun will not fray you dont have to finish the edges at all.  I love this feature of the fabric.  This really saved me a lot of time on this project.

Next step is attaching the bunnies to the ribbon.  I could have sewn them on, but I decided to use Aleens Fabric Fusion instead.  The Fabric Fusion holds so well and allowed me to attach the PEEPS to the ribbon without any stitching showing like there would have been if I sewed them on.


Once the Fabric Fusion dried I hung the PEEP garland in our kitchen.  These little bunnies look so adorable!
