Conversation Questions

Who doesn't like to have a good conversation?  I thought this would be a fun

thing to have for a family or friends get together, when the kids are texting

or looking bored, or the men are talking business, sports, politics...

Start asking some questions to get everyone involved!

I got these labels from OfficeMax ~

they fit perfectly on the cards.

This next step was a personal choice, I didn't like the white labels

so I used a distressed background image from The Graphics Fairy.

Printed the distressed image first on the labels.

{White                       and              Distressed}

Then, start coming up with your questions ~

I did make some up, and then did

a search for questions,

you can look

up by "ice breaker questions/conversation questions"

you'll find plenty.

Avery has templates to use

for the labels,

type your questions up

and print them out.

You can use an ordinary deck of cards...

I used these animal print cards ~

I found at Michael's

in the bargain bins

52 Questions to start a conversation!

For the cover

I used images found at The Graphics Fairy,

arranged them in Photoshop and printed it on satin photo paper.

Last, I used a 3 hole punch, positioned one of the punches

to the center - top of the card, and punched out all 52.

The ring, I found at Archiver's

For a little bit of time

and a little bit of money,

you can have great conversations!

Brag Monday

Candle light

Seems like lately I've been using flameless candles

instead of the real ones. 

These are safe, but very boring, so I added a little scenery to this one ~

Here it is on

I printed this castle from The Graphics Fairy

on player piano sheet music.

I love how the light peeks through the perforations!



No horsing around here

I almost passed this up...I was dropping off some bags of clothes at Goodwill

and thought I should drop in for a quick glance

It looks like it was handmade for "Heidi"

a solid rocking horse, no batteries, no plastic,

just a wooden rocking horse!

Cute paint job - if it was still the 1980's!

Now this is what I had envisioned...when I first saw her~

I sanded off all the old paint

and then two cans of spray paint later...

She's a beautiful white rocking horse!

I made the tail out of yarn from Michael's

Used my Cricut Expression to cut out the flowers

and my granddaughters name

I'm so happy I didn't pass this one up!

Nothing new, just a different way

We all have fallen for images from The Graphics Fairy

adhered to a white painted pot...haven't we!

I hear you nodding yes!

Well I made some too, just a different way~

These two that I did are from Hobby Lobby, they were Terra cotta pots;

 painted them white and then used a another way to affix the images!

I used Omni-Gel instead of the Mod Podge versions.

I have to admit, I tried this a long time ago with no success transferring an image,

 then I re-read the instructions...and saw "laser copies"

thats where I went wrong...

trying to use the home injet copies.

It's easy and no need to reverse the images either.  Just brush on

your laser copy image (read the instructions) and when it's dry,

soak in water and rub the paper off.

It comes out like a plastic sheet, trim it and you

can use Omni-Gel to adhere the image to your

object.  You can find this in all the craft stores! 

Just a different way!
