Visit To The Dali Museum

Years ago when we were in Florida I visited The Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg and snapped a few of these photos. You were only permitted to take photos on the first floor and in the gardens. It's located on the downtown St. Petersburg waterfront overlooking Tampabay. Beautiful!

You can see and read more about the amazing museum here. And they're expanding! Read about the expansion here.

'Peaceful Meadows' Notepad Folios

These three Notepad Folios include a pen holder with pen, removable notepads with full magnetic backs and colorful mini binder clips to hold additional papers for notes.

I used Peaceful Meadows Scrapbook pad papers from The Paper Studio to mat the base of the folios that are 110lb/300gsm heavy kraft cardstock. 

 

The notepads are replaceable and the folios are reusable. Measure approximately 3.75 x 7 inches. The full magnetic backs make the notepads handy for your fridge!

Each of these Trifold Notepad Folios include :

- Magnetic Closures

- Pen holder with pen

   decorative resin flowers and pockets to hold

Double Notepad Folios ~ Jr Legal Pads

These colorful Double Notepad Folios were made using heavy black cardstock as the base and matted with Dina Wakely Media Collage Collective 270gsm papers.

Both have handy slots for your pen. One folio includes a colorful binder clip with a removal shopping list pad that measures 3x7 with full magnet back handy for your fridge.

Each folio measures approximately 5.5 x 8 inches. 

Notepad List Folios

I made these Notepad List Folios using Stamperia 8x8 Scrapbook Pads and heavy 300gsm/110lb kraft cardstock paper as the base.

Stamperia Scrapbooking Pads used: Sunflower Art and Forest 

They are reusable folios with removable notepads. The notepads I used have full magnetic backs making them handy for your fridge. Each has a convenient slot for your pen. I've added colorful mini binder clips to hold additional papers for notes. Each measures approximately 4 x 7 inches.

If you'd like to make your own, you'll find many variations on Pinterest for notepad holders and folios.

Matchbook Notepads with Hidden Staples

I discovered a tutorial that demonstrated how to make these matchbook notepads/notebooks with hidden staples at Remnants Remade here.

I bought an inexpensive Heavy Duty Stapler that staples 50 to 90 sheets. It uses 1/2 inch heavy duty staples and it came with 1000 staples all for only $15, which I thought was reasonable.

These little Matchbook Notepads measure about 3.5 inches square and each holds 60 sheets thanks to my new heavy duty stapler! 

 

 

Chunky Bead Dangle

Finally made my first bead dangle! I was inspired after seeing this Simple Beaded Dangle Technique here. 

Over the years I've collected a variety of pretty beads and began my little hoard with the intention of making a chunky bead dangle some day. Occasionally I'd pick up other necessary tools and wires for simple bead making. Recently I bought a 'One-Step Looper' which turned out to be quite the handy tool for this project!

I tried my hand at wire wrapping sea glass and made some pendants using suede lace for cordage. You can view that previous post here.
