March is National Craft Month. This month, we want you to display your passion for your craft by creating a piece of wall art to display in your home, office, or wherever! The topic can be whatever you wish . . .
just use your craftiness to make something you can display and share with others.
Create a piece of wall art (canvas, art board, sign, vinyl directly on wall, framed art, shadow box, etc.). Use at least three colors.
This was right up my alley because about a year ago I decided I did not want to hide all my scrapbook pages in books so I decided to put them in shadow boxes and line my upstairs hallway with them. I have pages with photos from 1920's through current. This page is of my daughter and her fiance- I had none up of the two of them so decided it was time and this challenge spurred me on. I use the T-shirt shadow boxes that Michaels has-they usually have great sales and (you can get them from $4-$5) and they are perfect for a 12x12 page.
Plus I love that I can add more dimension with big brads and layers.
The papers are from Simple Stories and from Paper Studios- I think I met the challenge of at least three colors- the predominate of which are brown, beige green and red with some gold and blues.
I used Elegant Edges cartridge for the scalloped circles and Picturesque for the the flowers and the leaves.
I had thought of doing this myself, as like you I like to have my pages around to look at instead of having them in a book all the time...might have to pop over to Micheals and get me one! Great job, it's beautiful! waving hi from the sunny hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteYour LO is elegant, and I agree that having the LOs were they can seen is the BEST.
ReplyDeleteThanks for inspiring me to create one like this AND show it off!!! Love it!!
This is such a beautiful layout. How wonderful that it's not hidden in a book. Good luck in the challenge.
