Sizzix Shapers Die Storage - Sneak Peek

You may remember my post a few days ago where I showed you how I have been storing my Sizzix Movers & Shapers Dies...and there they are in one of my FAVORITE enamelware dishes...but that dish slides onto a shelf...and well....out of sight really is out of mind with me...and I LOVE these dies and want to use them more. So I have been working on a solution...and I now have the "prototype" completed. Because the Movers and Shapers Dies are magnetic...I realized that I could make a metalic board for them that can hang on the wall beside my desk...totally in view when I am working. Here s what it looks like.
This really is just a sneak peek....because I am working on a tutorial...and after showing it to a couple of friends, they have said they would like to buy one...so I am working on how to do that in case you want one too. The trick is that your "board" has to be metallic with enough iron in it to allow the magnets to stick to it...and I have a few of them left over from a class I taught a couple of years ago (An Advent Calendar with magnetic dates)...thin enough to not weigh too much and with a hole predrilled for hanging from a hook or adding some ribbon.

So...I will finish up the video and edit it in the next day or so. I like how it turned out....hope you do too! Have a great second half of the week!

    I've checked on your blog today. Good to see you posting again :-) I so love to learn what is going on in your world.

    Your excitement over the new Tim Holtz products comes through in your post :-) Can't wait to see what you create with your new goodies.

    What a fantastic - or as you say FANTABULOUS - idea for the "Mover & Shapers" dies. That piece looks so decorative with your dies on it and the background. Superb!!! No more "out of sight, out of mind". I so love this idea and may just have to steal it :-)

    Love you Girlfriend - Leslie

"What? You Are Drawing and Painting In Your Bible?!?!?!"

This question was followed by the whispered question, "Don't you think that makes God mad? It's HIS WORD!"  Yes...let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Jann and I am a Bible Journal-er! Since you have seen me draw on just about anything...you are probably not as surprised as my friend with whom I had this conversation. And just to be clear, I'm not poking fun at her - I think that I have had that exact same conversation with myself over the years of my personal study...because even though I have recently started painting in my Bible - I have written my heart out in the margins of many Bibles as I have dug into God's Word to learn everything that He has wanted to teach me. And I have often drawn small images to remind myself of a principle -- like the one I drew here at the end of the book of Genesis! Rabbit Trail : I felt that it ends rather abruptly - after we have studied all the things that happened to Joseph over the course of his life the final sente

 Hey friends... Well the time has come to do more than just dip my toes in the water...I'm gonna actually start filming YouTube tutorials again...and I decided to go for a big project rather than something that wouldn't challenge me to go the distance. I am going to show you how to put together an Easter Junk Journal from start to finish! Oh yeah...I didn't decide to just show you how to make a tag...we are bringing out the big guns! 😁😁😁 Since it has been a while -- I will give you the link to my YouTube Channel . You will find the series in a playlist called Easter 2023...and it will be the newest video uploaded....on Saturday!

 As many of you know -- I have started a small business to continue sharing beautiful content with you. I am thrilled that the Lord continues to let me be creative and is showing me ways to do so in spite of being diagnosed with Parkinson's. I am not alone in facing challenges -- and I want to be a source of encouragement for those of you that find yourself in a different season of life -- maybe with some physical challenges -- or just the process of not being as young as we once were....that is the natural progression of things...and I am convinced that God intends for us to continue to be His image bearers via our creativity -- regardless of our season of life. So many of you have encouraged me with your support...and I am loving creating printable digitals that you can use in your crafting -- whether that is card making, Bible Journaling, Junk Journaling or scrapbooking. I will have some new collections coming out soon...but I couldn't resist giving you a sneak peek...and a
