Hi everyone, hope you are well and staying warm on this cold Sunday!! This is definitely the kind of weather to scrap and that's just what I have been doing... My DIL Angela wanted to know if I could do a layout using a beautiful poem that her brother wrote about Christmas as the focal point. I have never scrapped using anything but a photo as the focal point before, but I wanted to give it a try.. She also provided me with a few older photos and a few newer photos of her and her brothers, their families, and her parents... a total of 8 photos! Well I knew I couldn't get it all on a 12 x 12 without making everything so small that it would be difficult to read the poem or to see the photos clearly.. So while I was debating on how to proceed, I came across this beautiful Noel Kit from BoBunny, which uses a 16 x 20 canvas.. OMGosh, this was perfect.. I think the hardest part was re-arranging the photos and deciding where to add the bling and chipboard embellies... The chipboard embellies came with the kit, and the bling are from my stash... I couldn't be happier with this Kit. It was perfect for this project and I would love to get a few more, but, looks like a lot of other people like it too. I've been checking back with them and right now they seem to be out of stock..
This will also qualify for a few challenges out there--
Frosted Designs - Fabulous Friday ~ 3 or more photos
Alphabet Challenge ~ J for journey (I see this as a journey from childhood to adult)
By The Cute and Girly ~ Bling It On
Craft Your Days Away ~ Anything Goes
Rainbow Lady's Challenge ~ It's New To Me (working on canvas)
The Crazy Challenge ~ All Things New (BoBunny Canvas Kit)
Thank you for dropping by!!
Have a wonderful day!!
Hugs!!
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! Fern this totally rocks!!!! I thought about doing something like this for my new baby cousin....I was kinda unsure about canvas....i didn't know whether I would need to mod podge it or not....how did you get it to stick? And did you coat it with anything ? I LOVE IT!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this project, Fern. I saw that kit with the red canvas after I had done my clock project using these same papers and a canvas that I just painted. I think they are loads of fun. Love your placment of photos and the poem. I'm sure your DIL will love it! We got a dusting of snow but that's about it. Just preparing for the cold, cold weather moving in. Doing a little scrapping myself! LOL
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What a precious momento for your DIL. I hope she loves it as much as the rest of us do.
ReplyDeleteOh this is just so beautiful Fern!

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the snow missed you...but I have to be honest... my kids were missing the snow from Indiana in a big way so this was really good for them! Now that they have played outside for two straight days I think they are ready for it to melt!!
