Holy cowlita! Create house numbers?!

This completely simple and beautiful project knocked my socks off. I feature the work of Deb Jones from time to time and I truly can't wait to see what she comes up with next! Today's offering: Address Numbers!

How in the heck did she do this?

A 12x12 digital scrapbook page and some Modge Podge!
Choose the tile holder you want to use and buy the appropriate size tiles to fit. Here are some websites to find tile holders:

You can find 3x3 tiles inexpensively at your local hardware store.
Then, login to your Heritage Makers Studio account and start a new project. Add your photo background to fit the tile size and publish. These are 3x3, so twelve numbers would fit on one page!
When your page arrives, cut the 6x squares apart and modge podge to the ceramic tile. I would suggest a sealant as well, since they will weather the elements. Considering that 1 digitally created page is merely $4, these are a STEAL! Way to go Deb! Keep those ideas comin'!

Sometimes an Idea Just Has to be Shared!

Ok, so I write my own blog, but... sometimes another idea is SO good, you have to share it. This idea and post came directly from The Heritage Makers Official Blog. It's so, so, good. Not mine... please note, someone brilliant named Sara posted this idea. I'm just reposting brilliance.

A canvas doesn’t have to be just a canvas. You can easily turn it into another creation—a bulletin board or a magnet board. Instructions for a bulletin board and magnet board are virtually the same. For our purposes (and because I like the idea of a magnet board better—no holes through the canvas), we are going to focus on a magnet board.

Items needed:

• A Canvas print created at http://www.myphotofairy.com/ If you like the one pictured, you'll find it the Template Gallery!
• A magnetic metal sheet 1 1/2 inches smaller than the canvas on all sides
• Heavy-duty staple gun
• Duct tape

Instructions:
Create a canvas, any size (I suggest the bigger sizes—not an 8×8 or the 8×20). Put any design and any photographs you want. Then publish and order it. Once your completed canvas arrives, you continue with the next steps.

Place the metal sheet behind the canvas. (You can get a metal sheet from a home improvement store—you may have to cut it down to size—or from a metal supply shop.

Staple the metal sheet into the canvas frame as you would a picture in a picture frame. You’ll want make sure the staples are close enough to the canvas to secure the metal sheet in place, but far enough away so you don’t puncture the canvas.

Optional: instead of stapling the metal sheet into the frame, you can use a strong tape (such as duct or gorilla) to attach the metal to the back of the canvas, as shown below.

Once you’re finished, place the new magnet board on your wall. You now have a decorative and useful addition to your home!
