Fine & Dandy

My Mind's Eye is always one of my favorite compaines... and I absolutely LOVE their newest line we just got in. It's called Fine & Dandy. One of things I love about this line is that it has tons of papers, stickers, and embellishments that coordinate. There are two different color schemes in the line. One has a brown, teal, and yellow theme with and adorable owl, and the other color scheme is pink and orange with little birdies. The line also has 6x6 paper pads that are adorable for all you card makers out there! Stop by and check out the entire endcap of cute new products from My Mind's Eye!

GO TWINS! Vinyl

We got in new vinyl for all you TWINS fans! You can do so much with it, even put it on the window of your car or home to show your support. Just in time for the playoffs!
Go TWINS! Glass Block: The vinyl size is a little shy of 8x8, and retails for $8.99.
1. I cut apart the vinyl and applied it to the white magnetic board.
2. I applied the vinyl to a glass block and filled it with shelled peanuts (one medium size bag is all it took).
3. I added wide red satin ribbon and wrapped it around the glass block starting at the bottom, securing it with hot glue.
4. I took the baseball ribbon and hot glued it in the center of the red ribbon working my way around the glass block. It is as easy as that.

Go TWINS! Magnetic Board:
1. I cut apart the vinyl and applied it to the white magnetic board.
2. I made the magnets using med size flat glass marbles, cardstock, circle punches (1" & 1 1/8"), red extra fine paint pen, glossy accents and magnets.
3. Punch 1" circles from white cardstock & 1 1/8" circles from red or navy cardstock.
4. I drew the stitching on the white circles using the painty pen.
5. Using glossy accents adhere the white circles to the center of the red or navy circles. I put colored cardstock behind the white so the magnet doesn't show through in step 7.
6. Then apply glossy accents to the flat side of the marble and place the punched circles (baseballs) face down into it pressing evenly to get out the air bubbles. Let dry.
7. Once dry adhere magnet to the back of the marble (the cardstock side) using glossy accents. Let Dry.
8. All you need to do is add your favorite photos or notes, and tie some ribbon around the hanger part to finish it off.

Go Twins! Party Pail: This is the easiest one of them all.
1. Apply vinyl to a clear party pail, which we sell here and they are on special for $4.98.
2. I hot glued some ribbon along the top rim, glue dots would also work well.
3. Fill with some shred, favorite snacks, and I added our version of the "Homer Hankie", which is a 12x12 piece cut from fleece that we also sell.

Dr. Seuss Fabric!


You have got to come in and see this collection of fabric. Robert Kaufmann came out with the cutest group of Dr. Seuss fabric. The colors are very bright and cheerful just like the books.
The Cat in the hat has never been more fun!
