Last One!
Ok- you must be sick of these magnetic boards by now right? This will be the last one for now... again using some of my new washi from Japan here and added Kiyomi this time. After I made this, I decided to re-do it and add in a strip under Kiyomi and personalized it for a blogging friend. I hope she liked it!
Thanks for sticking with me through all these craft fair posts!

Magnet Fishing
Ok, so I couldn't come up with a clever title for this post. :)
I love pastel washi paper and got a pastel rainbow of them while in Japan. This green one was one of my faves since it also included sakura. The gold waves in it reminds me of water, so I thought Yoko would match well- like she's fishing in a pond. Decided to color her up in pink this time instead so that she would pop.
One last board to share with you tomorrow!

Nobu Notes
For a little change, I decided to try adding in "notes" to the bottom of the magnetic board. That way the recipient will know what its for right? This time used Nobu on some dragonfly washi paper (again from Japan). I'm glad I bought this washi, even though its pastel, I can still use it for boy stuff. Plus I like the look of asian dragonflies. I used use asian dragonfly prints all the time when I used to sew (yes, I used to sew many moons ago).
Anyway, thought I should add in a boy magnetic board in case someone is looking for a boy version.

Magnetic Personality
So I saw this idea for a mini magnetic board at Cute Stuff on one of my Oahu adventures. They sell these 6x6 metal sheets at the store and have them especially cut. Now I wish I didn't tell you since you'll probably buy up my supply!
Decided to cover some of them using washi paper and what images go better with washi than ours? Oh yes, let's talk about the washi for a minute... I have a weakness for washi paper. I brought back so much on my trip to Japan that I had to hand carry it on the plane since it didn't fit in my suitcase! Each print is very special to me and I hate cutting up a nice full sheet of washi, but I told myself that no one is enjoying it when it just sits in my office/craft room, so I should use it right? I shouldn't hoard right? OK- so I finally cut some and thought that this project would be good to use it on since its likely that the recipient wouldn't throw it away. This thought made me feel better about using it on my project. Sick, I know. Besides, I need to make room for more washi right? hee hee hee...
So I punched some holes and added some grommits and ribbon. Then it was time to decorate. Since this washi is so sweet and pretty on its own, I decided to keep it simple and just add in Ayako. I chose her since she looks like she's using her umbrella to protect her from the shower of sakura.
Oh yah, added in some magnets made by mounting some marbles on them. Don't know if you can see, but I glued mini sakura laser cuts by Island Scrapbooking under the marbles since that's the only think I could find that fits.
I have a few more magnetic boards to share using Sister Stamps so check in soon.
