Need a quick project?

Last week I made these glass magnets. I punched a circle of patterned paper and adhered it to the back side of the glass marbles, added a precut magnet circle and voila! Done! This is a Maya Road tin that I painted. Quick and easy and I think it's pretty cute! One of my friends is hinting that her birthday is coming up. We'll see!

I'm really into cards for some reason right now. Maybe it's that good feeling you get when you use up your scraps. I told myself no purchased cards this year and so far I'm right on target. Here's a couple I made using the Treasured Scrapbooking May kit.
