Go Big

Take your picture frames up a notch by adhering a couple of them to a mat board or foam-core board covered in patterned paper. Imagine your creation is a really big scrapbook page and embellish with large flowers, brads, and bits of fabric and paper. Finish it with wood letters painted to match your scheme.

SOURCES Patterned Paper: Autumn Leaves. Fabric: Moda. Sticker: 7Gypsies. Rub-ons: Autumn Leaves (scrolls), Chatterbox (letters). Foam stamps, paint, tags, brads: Making Memories. Wood letters, frames, flowers: Michaels. Ribbon: May Arts.

Reflecting Beauty

Start your day with an affirmation done up in high style. All it takes is a mirror and rub-ons. The only rules are to start with a clean surface and draw light lines with a crayon-tip pencil to ensure straight placement. Work backward from the end of each line for perfect spacing. A razor blade will make quick work of erasing your lines or any errant rub-ons.

Scrapbooking Decor!

Wow, it's been awhile since I've kept up with my posting ~ been very busy planning our Scrappy Days retreat to be held here in Athabasca in a month! FUN, FUN, FUN!

I came across these cool ideas and wanted to share ~ I would love to create them!

Pop-Art Palette

With a little paint and some foam-core board, nine fun cards form a spiffy piece of artwork. Start by painting a 22” square on your wall in a color that contrasts with your existing wall color. Use adhesive spray to mount your cards onto same-size pieces of foam-core board. Attach the squares to the painted square with double-sided carpet tape, and voila!—an Andy Warhol-like look without the price.
