Iowa Ornamanet-Upcycled Atlas

SO I was wanting to use my new Slice card that makes all the states. I thought about a pin or stationary, then thought of an ornament. 







I used the pages from our old atlas-I know who keeps old atlases? Yeah well I do.



I cut a tiny little piece of overhead projector plastic long enough to hold the state suspended. 



Rolled it all up and used tweezers to unroll it and smooth it out inside the ornament. I punched out some snow for the bottom-maybe there should be a little bit more....hmmm.



Pretty darn cute I say! Let's see if they sell at the church bazaar.

Recipe Card Swap

Look at these cut little swirls I made with my Slice machine. They're for my recipe card swap.
 A few times a year my favorite pals at  Craft sayings have a recipe card swap. This time the theme is Soup.  You make pretty cards with your favorite recipe and laminate them and send them to the organizer and then in a little while the mail lady brings you an envelope with a bunch of new recipe cards to try out!


This is the most layering I've done on recipe cards. They look good I think. And,my favorite thing right now, is I used what I had.
BTW Did you notice the big hands free Slice cutting board that my DD got me for Christmas, along with the cool tool kit? I thought the board was kind of silly, "gee it's too hard to hold the Slice in place for a few seconds?"  but man I love that thing. That little spatula dealio is also pretty darn handy!
Assembly, it was kind of complicated for a simple mind like mine. I glued the blue card to the back of the yellow recipe then glued the polka dot layered strip to that then stuck the whole thing on the gray polka dot back.

 All ready to laminate and get in the mail.

Learning to Slice

 I'm the happy owner of a slice machine. I was on facebook and I friended Crop Chocolate (crop chocolate) after my Wonderful cousin showed it to me. Anyways they had the Slice for 59.99 so I grabbed it right up!
I could make a lot of serious scraps of paper with this baby!! I figured out the adhesive part-I stuck some paper to the cutting glass..ooops, then I figured out how to adjust the blade then I cut stuff out! What fun!!!!!
