i have a confession. i'm REALLY good at buying prints. and really terrible about framing / hanging them. my plaster walls are a little intimidating to me when it comes to making holes, and i'm forever standing at target, staring at frames, unable to remember what size / color i need for the print / space.
i'm doing my best to change that. there's no way i can buy frames for all of the prints i have at once, so i'm trying to get one or two every couple weeks. i started with these :
(sorry for the glare!) this 12x12 matboard collage of photos was given to me by becky for christmas. two years ago! ack. i found this 12x12 shadowbox frame at target - perfect. it had been just leaning against the old window - now it has a a lot more presence.
and this counting birdies print from vol 25 now has a home in sam's room. the "s" still needs to be hung on the wall, but it requires drilling. we'll save that for another day.
and now.... studio calico sneaks. =)
this page was in the sneak slideshow, but with a yellow background. i kinda took it apart and rebuilt it on kraft yesterday. and i'm glad i did. this one uses the main kit, quilting bee, and the wedding ring add-on. i used turquoise maya mist on the background.
this one uses quilting bee + the honeycomb add-on (which, btw, is my fave of the add-ons). the background got a liberal coating of silver plated maya mist. i LOVE these wood veneer shapes - they are too cool. i used my 3-in-1 hydrangea punch to make snowflakes - a little trick i've used before. this star confetti punch would have been awesome, too, but i don't have one yet!
there is still a lot more cutting and gluing to be done (and some sewing, with the project kit) - so i will have more sneaks closert to reveal time. =) i've got to turn my attention to a couple of other assignments for the next day or so, and then it will be back to the kit!
