Guitars Really Are Beautiful!

I just want to take a moment to thank all those who have voted in Round 4 of Paper Crafts Gallery Idol and encourage you to head on over and vote now if you haven't already! Today is the last FULL day to vote! EVERY SINGLE VOTE counts!!! Thank you SO MUCH for your support!





Well, you may have noticed a fun new blinkie in my sidebar! I'm excited to be joining the Simon Says Challenge Blog Design Team! Today we have a BRAND NEW challenge for you and it's a fun one! We want you to create ANYTHING BUT A CARD! It's easy! Simply make something...ANYTHING...just not a card, of course, and link it up over on the challenge blog! You could win an AWESOME prize just for giving it a shot!!!


Here is what I have created for this challenge!





Guitar Wall Hanging


This is actually what I gave to my Daddy for Father's Day! He loves guitars...he plays, he's in a band, and he simply appreciates the beauty of the instrument. I created this for him to hang in his office at his school!

A closer look shows you some of the goodies I used to create this fun frame! I began with a fabulous stamp from Stampendous! I used the Stampendous! Cling Music Score stamp for the background. I love this stamp! I layered papers from the Echo Park This & That Collection, and accented with burlap string and woven burlap from May Arts. A couple of fabulous trinket pins from Maya Road finished it off wonderfully! You can also see a bit of woodgrain washi tape tucked in with the papers that I inked with tea dye and frayed burlap distress inks! Love distress inks!

  9. Congratulations again to you on the new dt, and you know I'm voting for you!!

    Guitars really ARE beautiful--my son plays in a group, repairs/buys/sells, so we always have lots of them around.

    I just asked him how many were in here, and he said, "Not that many."
    Then he listed them off--there's 10 right now, but
    "That's actually less than there usually is."

    :)
