This Halloween Clipboard will be so much fun to put on my scrapbook table. What you'll need to make this is a clipboard, scrapbook paper and embellishments! For EXTRA cuteness of course!!!

Magnetic Halloween Frame

My favorite thing about this frame is the orange chevron paper. I am totally in LOVE with this paper. The other neat thing about this frame is the embellishments and the picture can easily be taken off and  switched with different embellishments and pictures!! SO FUN!! I made one for both of the Grandma's for Halloween. And of course one for me.

Magnetic Halloween Picture Frame

I LOVE the little EMBELLISHMENTS!!

• The banner removeable!!
• The embellishments are magnetic!!
• You can change the way it looks anytime you want. If you make a bunch of EMBELLISHMENTS.

 Materials:

• Lowe's- 5x8 magnetic sheet.  They were only 67 cents!!
• Frames- Dollar Store. Super cute frames!! Am I Right?
• Teresa Collins Scrapbook paper and Embellishments
• Magnetic Strips-Micheal's Craft Store

How to:

3. Stick on your magnetic strips to the back of your embellishments. Your embellishments will hold your photo onto the frame. :)

All done! Easy as pie. :) Now you have a cute gift to give to the Grandparents for Halloween. 

Chalkboard Book

I have found a new obsession! Pinterest is more than awesome it's beyond AMAZING. I have found so many neat ideas from Pinterest. One of them is this really neat Chalkboard book that can be made out of an old board book or a board book from the dollar store. I found mine at the Dollar Store. The idea came from here http//:www.whipup.net/2011/09//10/guest-blogger-series-creative-chalkboards/.com

Don't you love the Eraser I made for my little girl? I LOVE it!!

Thank you Regina Lord for the genius idea!! Mine is a little different from her's. The tittle is made out of scrapbook paper and sticker letters. I used modge podge to adhere it. I covered it with a coat of modge podge to give it a glossy look. The other thing I did differently is I made a cute eraser out of modge podge and scrapbook paper. I think the eraser is my favorite part!!  Emma is already so obsessed with her's and she has tried to carry it around with her the entire day. So I would have to say this project has been a success.
