Shabby Wall Hanging

So, I finished this project this morning.  But, photographing it was difficult.  I either had too much light, or not enough.  So, I went with the black backdrop in my photo-tent.


I used pattern paper from 4 different collections, which is four different companies.  The largest pattern paper is from a romantic pattern paper collection: The Primrose by DCWV.  The text paper is: A Night at the Theater, from Melissa Frances. The dictionary pages is from Stampin' Up!, and the blue polka dot paper is from the collection: Sky's the Limit, by My Mind's Eye.
I used only one stamp:  Love Lives Here, by Paper Trey Ink.  The sentiment is: Home, is where the heart is.
The house is stamped onto a beige card stock and heat embossed in white.  I machine stitched the house to a cut piece of cream felt by Paper Trey Ink.  I adhered the felt to a piece of blue polka dot paper from   .  I added a white resin frame that I sponged some kraft ink on the raised areas to show some detail.
I added a half doily to the left side of the frame.  I added a material piece to the right side of the frame.  I  used some tulle trim from Melissa Frances (GN580), a tea stained lace trim and some white crinkled seam binding from Tim Holtz.  I ran the three layers through my sewing machine to add some stitching.  I added a multi-loop bow made with the white crinkled seam binding, and held the bow together with a pearl and rhinestone broach by Melissa Frances (BR005).
I used white paper blossoms for the floral cluster.  I sprayed them with a Tattered Angels spray: Burnt Red.  I brushed on some picket fence distress paint and dazzling diamond glitter.  I cut some leaf shapes from the dictionary page and distressed the edges with the paint and glitter.  I added two tiny blue blossoms, that were distressed the same way.
I tucked in a few buttons, a collection of clear sequins, a trio of pearls, a linen banner piece, a tiny bottle cap, and a heart bingo piece.  This wall plaque, is clipped to a vintage inspired hanger.

Pretty Collage

As promised, my post sharing another desk top calendar that I created.  Each of these desk top calendars, are for a specific person.  So, each one is unique.  This particular desk top calendar, was made for one of my very special, and dear friend.  This friend has a glamorous soul, who attracts pretty things.  So, I used a glamorous, pretty pattern papers, and kept my embellishments simply pretty!

Jan., Feb., March, April, May, and June

July, August, September, October, November, and December

I used Primrose pattern paper, purchased in a 12" x 12" pad, from a big box craft store.  I just loved the mix of patterns and florals.  The paper is just simply gorgeous!  There are some glitter accents on some of the pages, and who doesn't love a little sparkle?
I used the mini calendar pages from Paper Trey Ink.  I stamped the months by hand, and highlighted some various holidays.  I stamped those in soft suede classic ink.
The girlfriend, who received this calendar, loves french things, so I used a Paris themed stamp set, to stamp the various french images on the calendar pages, in crumb cake classic ink.
I will share some individual images of my favorite months, soon.  Thanks for stopping by!
