August 2008 Wall Hanging


OMG! I am so in love with this kit. I created a bunch of layouts and this really fun and EASY wall hanging!! To make things easier for me, I painted all the edges with pink paint. Once it dried, I inked up the edges with Colorbox Chalk Ink, Next, I cut patterned paper. The long section was 11.25 x 4". The 3 small sections were 3.25 x 3". I also inked the edges of those pieces.

Next was the fun part!! I embellished my title with the cool Making Memories alpha from the kit and cut out the orange flowers from the October Afternoon paper. I added some bling, Stickles, and buttons to finish it off. The dimensions of my photos are: 4.5 x 3.5 and the 3 small ones "should" be 2.75 x 2.5. I accidently cut Joey a little too small..LOL! Oh, well!!

The longest part of this project was the paint drying and figuring out what pictures I would use..haha! But as the paint is drying you can work on inking up the papers and embellishing...FUN STUFF!!
