Happy Monday everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
We had a productive weekend and got another bathroom project finished, I am very excited about it and I will share it later on in the week.
Today I thought I would share my artwork I created using the free downloads from the Paint Place.
I can't remember who I got these from originally but a few bloggers have shared this site before.
You can find them here.
I chose the prints I wanted to use and re sized them as required.
I printed one on plain paper and I printed the other one on an old sheet of music. I bought a music book from the 2nd hand charity store specifically to use for craft projects.
I embellished both prints using items from my scrap booking and card making supply.
We had the frames from a previous trip to Ikea and I had all the craft supplies.
I had this blank wall that was just begging for adornment.
Please ignore the lack of pelmet, another project that we are yet to finish!
I spread the frames out on the floor and played around with them until I found a layout that I was happy with and that fit the space.
We will put some New Zealand photos in the empty frames.
Just waiting on WH to finish editing them.
I am thinking that I may cut the dividers out of the matting in the long frame and use the frame for a panoramic photo.
The top wall hanging was given to us by WH's lovely parents when we bought this house.
It is a beautiful saying and a great reminder to have.
Thanks to everyone who stops by to read my ramblings and thank you to all of the lovely people who leave such encouraging comments. I enjoy reading them all and appreciate that you take the time to leave them.
I am looking forward to catching up with everyone through the week.
Have a great Monday!

ReplyDeleteHi Nellie, you are so crafty! I love the way you've decide to hang them - I like the gallery gouping though silly me didn't even realise there was blank frames until I read it! Hmm, very observant!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

ReplyDeleteThese pictures look great Nellie and I like the way you have decided to display them.
ReplyDeleteA friend has just returned from an NZ holiday and, like you, she got some awesome photos. She is going to make a calender out of them for 2011.
I'm in the middle of a bathroom makeover myself, fun fun fun.

Hi Nellie, great job on the prints especially the one using an old music book. So very clever and crafty. Your frame selection and arrangement really works well in that space.
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic Nellie! I love the music one esp. The frames work so well in that spot and that configuration. Can't wait to see the NZ ones in there too!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day,
