HOW TO: Easy Polaroid magnets!

Do you LOOOOOVE Polaroids?

ME TOO!!!

So, when I saw this project, I couldn't resist! 

It's SO EASY!

(ificouldpullitoff,youtotallycan!)

So, here's what you need:

- 1 White magnet sheet

- Pencil

- Cutter

- Ruler

- Marker

- If you have a cutting mat, that can be a big help 

- Pictures (you can edit them vintage)

#1 Cut magnet sheet in 4 parts

#2 Measure in 1/4 of an inch from edge on three sides, and mark top and sides ( I made a couple measuring 1/2 inch on top and sides, but it was a little thicker than I wanted)

#3 Bottom must be thicker than all the other sides ( you can decide how wide you want the bottom to be)

#4 Cut a square in the center (make sure your cutter goes all the way through your magnet for a clean cut)

#5 Slowly pull the square out...

... it's going to look like this 

#6 Pick one of your pictures. Mark the sides that you need to cut to fit within the frame

#7 Cut sides

#8 And VOILA!!! Ready to use!!

Aren't they super cute??

Once you decided where and how you want them, you can add captions with a permanent marker!

Decorate your fridge with tons of your memories!

You can also get a magnetic board and place them wherever you want! I got one of them at IKEA for $15... Totally worth it! 


I hope you loved it as much as I did! Now I walk through my kitchen and always stop and just stare at these pics for a while....


I love to be reminded of the wonderful treasures I'm blessed with..


Have a lovely Tuesday!!!

I'm linking up with 

Rock your doilies + my fav summer drinks!

I was walking through Joann's a couple of days ago, looking for some fabric for my new project...

{happy dance because we finally got a Joann's here in Mooresville, NC!!!!! =D }

... and I came across some doilies in one of their shelves, and I thought: those would make such cute summer coasters!... They are fancy, affordable, and all you have to do is just drive to the store, swipe your card and VOILA!! =D So I got a couple of them.

I guess my foot wanted to make its appearance in the blog

But now that I have new summer coasters, I need to rock them with some kinda fun fruity drink. Well, here are my two favorite ones:

* Fresh squeezed strawberry lemonade: classic

 You can add some strawberry chunks

 ... or some blended goodness

*Strawberry mango smoothie: strawberry and mango blended with orange and apple juice... DELISH

Add chopped mango and frozen strawberries to the blender...

 Pour some orange juice ( I love the high pulp kind) and apple juice to the mix

 ... brrrrrrrr.... (I love the fruit chunkies in my smoothie. If you do, too, make sure not to blend it for a long time...)

Wooohooo! Ready to enjoy!

{ aren't the doilies just so cute? =) }

When Josiah saw mami and papi drinking these, he NEEDED to have his own... so I had to make a little version for him!

 Hahahahaha SO HAPPY!!!!! 

Well, I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did! Please check Bleu Cloud tomorrow, since I'm going to be presenting 3 different recipes using zuchinnis! ( I had to find out new ideas myself because I had no clue on what else to make with all those zuchinis that are growing in our garden!! haha)

Have an amazing Friday!

I was looking for a quick project to get started with. Something easy and quick to make during my little buddies nap time. That's when I saw these really cute flower rings and just went for it! My purple Gap shirt was the victim of my spur of creativity. I just couldn't wait, though! She served a higher purpose, I guess =D ... So I did it, and this is what came out:

 

   For the second round, I picked a different kind of fabric, this time a mustard yellow cotton. I got so carried away that I ended up making a necklace and ring set!

  I already made some notes on things I'd like to change in them. New ideas keep coming and I'm not holding back this time! I definitely cannot wait for the next set to come!
