MAG TIME FRAME FOR MOMMY classroom kits


such a joy!

volunteered in the sunday school classroom on mother's day, and brought along kits so each child could hand design a mag time frame for his or her mom

could not have done this without help from my daughter -thanks love-

didn't want the frames handed to mom without a picture inside, so each child decorated a 4x6 paper with stickers, stamps and crayons which can be replaced with a favorite photo (or not).

MAG TIME FRAME for MOTHER'S DAY



i love requests! here, a friend ask me to design a mag time frame with a lighthouse theme.
her mother loves lighthouses; is a collector, and this will be her mother's day gift from her daughter.
i knew write away i'd work the entire
frame around the stamps i already had at home. gorgeous aren't they. pacific lighthouses available through the united states postal service. i used those to create the magnets, and chose beautiful ocean colored papers for the background frame. included a hint of red in the matting of the frame and magnets to pop out the red found in the lighthouse stamps.
thanks samantha! ~pop in a mother/daughter photo~
and i'm sure she'll love it. ~sandra, ttgp

NEW SEASON, NEW PICTURE: MAG TIME FRAME


this mag time frame is shown without a photo, so you can see the surprise message that gets revealed each time a new updated photo is placed under the baseball and baseball cap magnets.

wonderful i think, because it holds any favorite action shot, vertical or horizontal, and while sometimes i design to specifically match jersey colors -this has a more generic, all american theme, and so can be used year after year no matter what team or colors your player is on.

next, working on a lighthouse theme design for a fellow vm cast member and new friend, samantha..

MORE MAG TIME FRAME THANK YOU GIFTS








it's by far my favorite way to say thank you.. to preserve a cherished memory
designing custom, personalized, handmade mag time frames.
most recently i made one for each fellow cast member,
our awesome director and -christine- who is doing a ton of
work behind the scenes. ~everyone autographing the back
of the frame for our director & christine~
the black, white n' red coordinating with v-day itself; our flyers, brochures and stage outfits for our upcoming performance (OMG! TONIGHT!) of the vagina monologues at the bankhead theatre in livermore
embellished magnets with logo, the name, a star, and some personalized text
and at last! -got one out in the mail for my blog sister/friend karma today, who recently performed in the vagina monologues at a coffee house in georgia
"to eve! to changing the story of all women.."
create in joy! ~s.
