Photo Fun

Good morning!  Today we have two great ideas for photo displays from In-House Designers and superstars, Alisha and Nichole.

First up is are these cool wood blocks made by Nichole...
Supplies: Midge Gathermoore paper (34717) - Craft Fair, Fannie Mendell paper (34717) - Craft Fair, Pearl Bobbinhauser paper (34718) - Craft Fair, Millie Singer paper (34731) - Craft Fair, Edith Fitzbolt (34733) - Craft Fair, Sally Patchrick paper (34737) - Craft Fair, Purkey (43273) - Minimarks, Ned Jr. (43162) - Minimarks, Kate (43144) - Minimarks, Black Fine (62001) - Slick Writer, .03 Black (62311) - Precision Pen

Here are her instructions for creating a fun block like this of your own:
1. Cut 6 squares to 13/4” x 13/4” and 31/4” x 31/4” with a variety of paper.
2. Adhere paper to block.
3. Paint edges with white acrylic paint.
4. Print out five 2” x 21/2” photos of friends and adhere one to each side of the large square.
5. Add name of each person with rub ons to the side with their photo along with a small embellishment.
6. On the small block, journal about the person who’s photo is on the corresponding side of the large block.

Alisha created this adorable altered canvas...

Brilliant! What a great read. That was a good post - informative but not too heavy. Thanks for taking the time out to write it! I think spirituality is really important too, we certainly agree on that point. A leader without spirituality is missing a key element.
