I love making handmade items for Christmas gifts! I always try to make something for each of my sister-in-laws. When I saw this on Mandy Grant's blog, I knew that this was a perfect gift for my SIL Lois. Mandy made hers with cherry cobbler ribbon but I wanted it to be neutral. My sweet downline Christine and I got together to make this one night.
I took an old 9x13 cookie sheet that I had, add the chalk vinyl to the top of the backside of the pan. I then added the Newsprint DSP to the bottom of the pan. There is a small box on the top that holds the chalk just behind the seam binding Very Vanilla bow and vintage brad. I stamped the vintage circle from Artisitic Etchings on Very Vanilla and then placed it on magnetic sheet. I punched it out with the 1 3/4" circle. I scalloped punch some Very Vanilla cardstock and placed on the overlap of the vinyl and paper. I did add some Black 1/8" Taffeta ribbon on top of that.
I laugh when I think of how Lois opened this on Christmas Day. All she could see was the front side of this beat up old cookie sheet and had the look of "thanks I think". Then she turned it over to see the finished side. I guess she loved it cause it was hanging in her kitchen when I was over there last week.
Have a magical day!
