Paperweights
By Shari Carroll
Us girls got together and made these wonderful paperweights. They are so easy to work with and the possibilities are endless! The manufacturer is PhotoWeights. Each kit comes with the glass weight, an adhesive backed mounting board and an adhesive backed velvet bottom pad. Also included is illustrated instructions. They are designed to hold photographs, but we thought it would be fun to grab our stamps and make them our own. Take a peek and see if you're as inspired as we were. |
