Pinterest strikes again!

Pinterest.  It's love/hate relationship for me.  I love going out to the site every few days to see what catches my eye. I love to pin project ideas and food recipes I see online.  It's SO much easier than having a list of browser bookmarks.  I hate that I have over 2,000 pins that I don't do anything with except virtually admire.  I've been trying to make more of the recipes that I have pinned and oh those crafty ideas.

This is one of them.  Bubble magnets, glass gem magnets... they go by multiple names.  The idea caught my eye and I thought - HEY!  I can do that!  And I did.  LOL!!

Following the quick tutorial and using my Joann and Michael's coupons, I got everything I needed and set out to work. Only thing that I did differently is that I added 2 coats of Mod Podge to the back of the photo paper.  I had one magnet hanging around to use for my test gem and the next day, the glue for the magnet made my photo bleed. I used E6000 glue since that is what I had at home and I wanted to use it because I knew it would hold the magnet.

A couple of my photos bled a wee bit again so the next time I make these (and there will be a next time), I plan on doing at least 5 coats of Mod Podge.  It dries super quick so no extra work for the extra coats.

I dug up some pictures that I had handy from our first Disney trip, made a mini photo collage at CVS and this is what I ended up with

Aren't they fun?!  I plan on making tons more.  Maybe a few for Father's Day for Chris to put in his locker at work.

Enjoy your day!
