August Linky Party with Crafty Secrets

Hey there Paper Peeps. Time again for another fun Linky Party with the Design Team from Crafty Secrets. For this months theme we are challenged to create a mixed media project…something that can be used as home decor. I am so lucky to have a sneak peek of the projects and they are gonna knock your socks off.  I have used the images and papers to create a digital collage which I framed to create a wipe or dry erase board.  I had one before but the kiddos were just using it to leave me grocery lists ugg. This time it’s only to be used for nice notes and I love you’s.

Here’s how I made it….

1. Start with a dry erase marker. 2. wrap marker in coordinating ribbon (be careful to place this so it will not be difficult to write with.)  3. Good ol Velcro to attach the pen to the frame. 4. attach small section of Velcro to ribbon on pen. 5. With hot glue carefully add a loopy ribbon bow to opposite side of pen. 6. Top bow off with button.

1. Store bought 8×10 frame. 2. Add digital collage inside the frame. 3. Attach pen to frame with Velcro.

Write something lovely inside frame. I only wish this was my handwriting….I added it with the computer (she hangs her head in shame.) My handwriting is about as good as an average 5 year old so for the purpose of demonstration I let the computer do the work for me : )
