Craft space and announcement

I wanted to show you all my new embellishment center!
The shelves and glass jars were 50% off at Hobby Lobby. So I payed about $30 for those three shelves and 12 jars! I love how it turned out! Now I can see my embellishments and use them more!

Faux Chipboard Bingo chips

The technique for this came from watching a video on Splitcoast stampers on how to make your own buttons. Carolanne from Logan's crafty momma needed Bingo chips so I though I'd try making them this way. I'm pleased with the result.
