Summer is back!

I'm so glad it is and I hope it stays here for a while! I love blue skies! It doesn't even have to be hot... just a little sunshine is all I need.I almost forgot that I meant to show you the wedding announcements: I bought all the supplies for the cards at Paper Source in San Francisco. It's amazing how many color coordinated stuff they have! I had a hard time choosing the perfect one.

I had a lot of help from Johanna with making them and am really pleased how they turned out. The monogram was done by Lucky Designs. I like it a lot and am thinking about getting it turned into a rubber stamp (just our names and the dots).C and me decided to add a cd with some of our road trip music after we saw something similar in Martha Stewart's wedding issue. C had the idea of using LightScribe to do the cover. On their homepage I found a printable mailer which I used as a template for the cd cases. Then it was back to Martha for the ribbon and label idea.
My favorite song from the cd right now would be Ingrid Michaelson with The Way I Am:

And while you are at it, please listen to another song of hers... Far away... It's awesome as well!

Magnets!

Some of you might have guessed it. Those things are glass gem marbles, backed up with paper and a little magnet. I saw them first on Etsy at "The Airie Fairy" and when I showed them to Johanna we both had to have them. Let me tell you we bought a lot. Each of her sets looks so great - I can't wait to get them!

After we had ordered them, we thought that we could maybe try it ourselves, because we had all the supplies on hand. I think I love paper almost as much as I love fabric and the really great thing about it is that it's a lot cheaper than fabric. Johanna and I can never resist beautiful paper. We made a lot of tag sets in various sizes. Like for example this matching one:
And eventhough we made so many sets, there is still lots of paper left. Same with the magnets I had bought when I made some fabric covered button magnets for my fridge. Now the glass gem marbles were still lying around the house back from the days when it was cool to decorate with them (I believe that's not cool anymore, is it?). Anyway, Johanna and I gave the whole thing a try and it turned out to be so much fun, we simply can't stop making them.

Weird!

These things multiply by the hour...
See?!
We can't stop it!

Do you know how many there are by now? 140!

We are up to something!

Johanna and I are really busy. All I can say right now is that it's lots of fun. We can't seem to stop.
