Welcome to the first day of the Graphic 45/Want2Scrap Blog Hop! The two design teams have been hard at work to share with you some absolutely amazing crafty goodness! Each day you can hop around to 3 to 4 DT members blogs to catch some great inspiration. Don't forget to stop by the Graphic 45 and Want2Scrap blogs and facebook pages.
Want2Scrap and Graphic 45 will both be giving out two prizes. Leave a comment on any of the blog posts during the week to be eligible for one of two "blog" prizes, one from Graphic 45 and one from Want2Scrap. Also, leave a comment on the Facebook pages of Graphic 45 and Want to Scrap to be entered forone of the two "Facebook" prizes. Winners will be chosen by random draw. Good Luck to everyone!!!
Here is my project for you to enjoy!
I took one of the Want-2-Scrap chipboard mini albums and instead of making it into an album, I used the individual pages as mattes within shadow box frames. The 6" square images form Christmas Emporium fit perfectly with in the matting. I then added either a pearl or crystal Want2Scrap swirl. A crackle painted chip board flourish and a spray of flowers on each image added a consistent component to all four boxes.
Materials:
Paper - Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium
Chip board book pages and flourish - Want2Scrap
Pearls and Bling - Want2Scrap
Flowers - Prima
Shadow Box Frames (12 x 12) - MCS Industries
I have the perfect spot to hang these as a group during the holiday season (OMG! it really IS just around the corner!)
