Flair is fun!

I've been using a lot of flair lately.  There isn't a layout or project I've finished that didn't get at least one 'button'.

I also have a growing collection of them.  I seem to acquire them faster than I can use them.  But they look so cute in the margarita cup!


Anyway, I was in Staples tonight looking through the aisles at all of the cool 'back to school' items out and how next August I'll be purchasing the first school supplies for the boy.  I can't wait!  I have an addiction to office supply stores and I can't wait to get that list from the school next summer of what he needs.

You won't here any complaining from this mom when it comes time to shop!

I found myself checking out the really cool magnets they sell there but nothing caught my eye.  I have a place at work where I can use magnets and I wanted some fun ones.  Enter the 'cup o'flair'.  I had a little bit of fun digging through there tonight looking for at least 6 buttons that might not make it onto a card or layout.

I added a thick glue dot to the inside of the flair and stuck the magnet on.


Want to make some for yourself?  Grab some flair for the shop, some adhesive and a pack of magnet discs from your local office supply store!

  5. I love flair. I even bought a badge machine and make my own so they match the collection and theme. I make buttons with our names, places. I just love it!
