A bit of info on the last three posts...

Each year during Christmas season, we eight ladies have a time out and exchange crafts.  This past year(2011) I repurposed the acrylic cutting pads from my Big Kick to make personalized wall hangings for the girls to hang in their crafting areas.  The first step was to drill holes for hanging, by using my dremel with 1/8" drill.  Next step was using a combination of paper glue and Aileens tacky glue spread evenly over pad then adding card stock.  Just smoothed the paper out by hand and let dry.  Applied to both sides.  Oh, cut papers to size before gluing down.  And after they dried I added chalks for blending background covers...added embellishments and bling.
