Artisan Wednesday Wow

Welcome to the Artisan Wednesday Wow blog hop sponsored by the Stampin' Up! 2012 Artisan Design Team! We are so glad that you're here and hope you will enjoy our weekly blog hop enabling you to see the projects we've created all in one place. We look forward to sharing as a team and having you anticipate your weekly visit to our blogs. If you've arrived here from Amy's terrific blog and fabulous project, then you're in the right place! 

For those of you unfamiliar with the Artisan Team, each of us was chosen in a contest to recieve the honor for a year of being on Stampin' Up!'s first ever Design Team! We are all demonstrators who look forward to free supplies shipped monthly that we are to use to inspire our creations, and we post four projects per month.

 When I saw the Artisan Embellishments Kit, I envisioned a soft, romantic project in vintage style. Inspired by a project Shelli shared at convention, I altered a frame and used super strong magnets on top and behind to hold photos and memorabilia. These magnets are so strong that there's no need for a metal sheet. The magnets are topped with buttons and hold through all the thickness of the photos, frame and backing.

The kit includes tags, ticket stubs, scalloped and cotton lace, seam binding, ornate buttons, and paper flowers. 

All the things I love best! It’s amazing how easily the beautiful embellishments in this kit transformed a simple frame. And no stamping!

  

With this project I can add as many photos, notes or quotes as I have room for. What I love best is that I can re-make it again using the same frame. Since the embellishments are attached with glue dots on top of the glass, and the Designer Paper is behind the glass, I can easily change them out for another theme or season.

  

Hope you've enjoyed my project and that the hop leaves you excited about coming back next week! Next you'll hop to visit Erica's blog and I promise you her creativity will be amazing!
