Hi there, Kangaroopals! Love your site. Are the magnets done with specific glass gems? I've used the flat glass "marbles" at the craft store and made them without pics before, and I love yours. Do the pics have an adhesive on the front?
I also use the X-acto and mat alot. When I was making up ads at a newspaper, I couldn't live without my X-acto!
I used glass gems. These gems are clear so it shows thru. Earlier, I bought some in the craft stores and does not work well. The photo was blur and cloudy. I found the clear ones here: http://www.wholesalersusainc.com/game-gems-clear-noniridized-1719mm-p-1792.html.
I use a silicon glue to stick the picture to the gem. You can find in the craft stores. They are so many. Chose the most appropriate for you. Hope this helps.
I am joining Heather Bailey's March of the Tools . This sounds fun. There are many tools that make your life easier, but as a crafter and graphic designer. These are the two tools so far that I can't live without when doing crafting or design. E-xacto knife is an essential tool for creating mock-ups. I own this knife for 12+ years. My newest tool is the Ultra ShapeXpress. It's easy to use and it's very practical tool. Cuts any shapes in paper. Also, I read that cuts in fabrics? I have to see for myself. I have to try that yet. A new addition to March of the Tools. Still not too late!: A trimmer from Fiskars. Very useful, practical, sharp and a time saver. For heavy duty use, see cutters from Carl. Found here .

I am quite happy that my new owls got to be in her website. I made an entry to a contest for "Calling all crafters" for all your best creations at marthastewart.com, and I am one of the winners. Take a look at www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/your-best-handmade-cre... I am creating more owls, but in a slow pace... got to find more time.
