Wednesday Be Inspired

Happy Wednesday!!! This week's Be Inspired challenge at Cuttlebug Challenge is "Home Sweet Home". This is a fun one because there are so many options...do a LO about your home sweet home, a card, or home decor. The list goes on and on. Just remember to use the Home Sweet Home theme + Cuttlebug. For this week's project we got to work with beautiful paper from Marks Paper Co. It was so hard to pick which pieces of the beautiful paper I wanted to use. And the winner this week will get their own paper pack from Marks Paper Co.!
I decided to make a home decor/LO this week. Click on the picture for a closer look.

I bought a plain wooden rustic frame at Hobby Lobby months ago. I painted it white and then sanded it to give it a vintage look. Then I used a 8 1/2 by 11 piece of white paper as my background. I added my Mark papers....embossing the one under my picture with Swiss Dots then sanding it with a nail file. I also did a strip of white and embossed it. I added a small bow and ribbon just to tie in the vintage look. I did all the stitching by hand, much safer than me destroying my perfectly good sewing machine!

The overlay at the bottom is Bo Bunny and perfect for this type of project!

I used my MS scallop punch to make the lovely scallops. This is my Easter picture from Easter Sunday after Church...I always force Hubby to take a special "dressed up" Easter picture! He wasn't crazy about the idea, but complied so that's all that matters. That's why I wanted to frame this picture, because it's a special Easter memory.
Now it's your turn! Can't wait to see your beautiful creations at Cuttlebug Challenge! And don't forget about our upcoming Spa weekend May 1-3!
A quick update: Dalli and "Mr. Kitty" are doing great! But now I have another sick animal, my duck! She has a swollen leg and the vet put her on antibiotics. You've not lived till you try giving a duck a pill! Lets just say, I hope no one was watching! I was splashing everywhere in the creek trying to grab the duck and the pill (that she spit out! Who knew ducks could spit!). Lets just say my cute pink WATERPROOF boots came in handy! And the best part, she has to take 2 tablets a day for 10 days! Should be interesting!
