Artist Trading Cards

 Artist Trading Cards are like regular baseball or Pokemon cards, except they start out blank, and them you paint, stitch, stamp, color, or draw on them. I could have posted this a long time ago (back in summer) but I waited till I got 100 cards, and I finally did! Last night at around ten, I finally finished!  Here's the rules:

1. they must be 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches
2. no selling, just trading

 I originally got the idea from a Family Fun Magazine, and apparently, The Artist Trading Card Movement started in Switzerland and is now sweeping the globe. I don't know how true that is, but these are sure fun to make.  They sell real official cards at Hobby Lobby, but they are pretty expensive (I think its 10 for $3). They do sell them in canvas and stuff too.  These are the ones I like best in my collection:

The first card says Play Maestoso which means Majestic in music speak/Italian.

You see why I couldn't post pictures of all of them.  I have over a hundred.

Enjoy!

Framed Friend Quotes

         A while back, one of my teachers put a quote up I the board that said: "Friends are people who laugh at your jokes. The first time when you tell it, a second time when you tell them the answer, and a third time an hour later when they finally get it."  I thought that was funny, and I had an extra frame from Dollar Tree (I love that place).  So I made this:

First things first... Print your quote in a pretty font except for the first word.  

Like so:

Glue the pages together and form the first word using stickers or cut outs.

Amazing Hot Glue Glitter Dots

Can you believe these all these are made of is glue and glitter! They are super easy and super cute and great for sticking all over hair flowers, headbands, scrapbook pages, birthday cards, binders, tissue boxes, mirrors, ooh a glass vase would be cool with them stuck all over...  These are actually a knockoff from some that I got at Hobby Lobby:

 Here's how you can make your own.

Now its time to decorate tiara's or some other cute thing!
