Original Joy

 Oh how we Authentique girls love a blog hop with Canvas Corp!

This is the second hop that we've conjured up with them since I've

been on the Authentique Design Team...the two companies are made 

for each other :)

 This time of year always has me thinking about gifts to give

for Christmas.  When I received the beautiful Canvas Corp Painter's Tray,

I knew it would be the perfect gift for my mom filled with pictures of 

my kids and the gorgeous Authentique Original embellishments!

After printing and placing my photos, I began decorating the 

top three panels with Original papers, stickers and die-cut flower.  

For the flwoers, I used the "Rolled Daisy" die by mftstamps.com.

With Authentique papers you don't have to worry about flimsy flowers!

 From the Canvas Corp Denim Sheets, I hand-cut two large hearts 

and backed each one with cotton batting.  I then used my sewing machine

to stitched the two pieces together.  You could also stitch the denim

to a heavy chipboard or felt if you don't have batting on hand.

 I glued the burlap banners from Canvas Corp, directly onto the frame using

a fabric glue.  A few thick foam dots were added in places where the 

banners may bend. 

 I love digging through years and years worth of stash and finding just the right

chipboard letters...these were just the right size for the banners :) Win, Win!

Now we're finished and ready for gift-giving...Merry Christmas, Mom!
