Oversize Bottle Caps & Place Mats

I purchased the August kit from Daniela Costa: http://www.theartlifeshop.blogspot.com/ and I finally got around to finishing them. I incorporated my own images and tried to keep a consistent theme between the three bottle caps. I'm still thinking of punching a hole on top or bottom so I might hang something from them.

This weekend I went to 4th street in Berkeley with CGS. We specifically wanted to go to Scrapbook Territory - a wonderful scrapbook store with lots of great items. We found some great finds - can't wait to make something with the stuff I got. http://www.scrapbookterritory.blogspot.com/.

Also on 4th street is Paper Source - a wonderful store with lots of unique items. CGS found this pad of place mats - so cute!

Check out their site: http://www.cakevintage.com/. I went to Lakeshore Learning today and laminated these place mats so I could re-use them over and over. It's a great place to laminate items - only $0.29 a foot. I did 12 place mats for under $4.

This is how they're going to look on my table...now the kids don't have to ask me what side of the plate do the forks and knifes go on.
