EXCITED! FIRST BLOG

Last night I made these very cute magnets on my living room floor.
I used stickers, flat marble pieces I had from old candle arrangements and a small 6 pack of magnets I bought at Jo Ann's.
I started using regular scrap book paper but it was too thin and I could see tacky wet spots.  I spread very small layer of super glue and also tried E6000 glue with a toothpick and still had the same problem.  Has anyone had this problem?...  If you have any pointers, please let me know. 
So then I switched to some thick stickers my daughter had left over from her scrap booking and those worked perfectly fine.
Once I made one, I wanted to keep making more and more.  Even my daughter made one and had fun with it.  Unfortunately, she only had six of those stickers left!... I can't wait to make more of these as gifts for my friends and family.  I'm also thinking about sharing them in etsy.  Maybe themed ones?... I have a few ideas in mind.
Take a look at my finished work.  These are somewhat juvenile but this is all I had to work with last night. 
I'd like to make some with family pictures but not until I solve the tacky wet spot view problem. 
Nevertheless, they are holding up paperwork and pictures and decorating my fridge at the same time!  It's amazing how one small, colorful object can make such a difference.  
Hope YOU like.  :-)
By the way, I'm very excited!! this is my very first blog!!
