What do you do when you see this:
after all of the Christmas decorations have been put into their bins and all of the bins have been put in the attic? I was ready to stash it in a closet somewhere, but Steve said, "The other side is blank. Decorate that for the rest of the year!" I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact conversation.
So I looked through my papers and found a few that were texture-painted with a peach paint back when I worked at Archiver's (let's have a moment of silence for our fallen comrade - after 14 years, they're going out of business). On it I stamped "LOVE" and the love quote I used on our wedding invitations, then I ripped the edges. I covered the sign's back with solid cardstock and adhered my stamped paper to it with foam adhesive. I know I complained about tall embellishments earlier in the week, but this isn't going into an album, so it's okay.
Here it is close up:
The stamps are from "Love is a Great Thing" by Stampin' Up! (2000).
Here it is in in relation to everything else around it:
Steve requested I flip the hourglass over.
I took a $1 Christmas sign and a bit of scrap paper and ingenuity and turned it into a year-round decoration.
Have you done something like that? E-mail pictures to traci@creative-pursuits.biz, and I'll post them here!
