The Leftovers

By Amber Zimmerman

Hello!  By now you’ve all received your kits and probably have created some pages with it. I made 5 pages and still had some cute embellishments and papers left over that I wanted to use. I just loved the embellies that Jennifer and Kimberly included in the kit and had to figure out a way to display them where they were the stars of the show. Well, since I am a “list” person it didn’t take long for me to come up with something. I love to write lists. I have them all over the house. List of things to do today, list of things to buy for photography, list of meals for the week, etc. My mind is a creative storm of ideas, but they come and go so quickly that if I don’t write them down somewhere I may lose it in the great abyss of my brain forever! So I set to work creating a “message board” if you will, of creative ideas.

The first thing that I gathered were my leftover supplies. Most important was the Hambly transparency, as that would be where I write my ideas (photo above).

Second, I used a vintage book that I purchased at a garage sale for 10 cents. I took off the front cover, and that was my base. I picked out my papers and arranged them how I liked them. I secured the Hambly with double sided tape. I used the cute woman chipboard and inked it. Once it was complete, I used my crop-a-dile to make the holes and found some vintage seam binding to use as my “hanger” (photo above).

To make the scallops, I used one of my go to Martha Stewart punches (photo above). I punched out the circles and arranged them on the edge of the book cover with double sided tape (photo below).

To completeit, I used a dry erase marker (photo below)  to jot my ideas as they come to me. My little “message board” is a bit busy, but you could easily use the Hambly alone with just a few decorative brads and buttons so you would have more room to write.

And here’s a look at the finished product:

I thought I would share one of the links to the idea that I am determined to complete this summer for my kiddo’s room, it could also hold scrap supplies!
