Stuff I used: All patterned paper is from the Baby Bee Crate Paper Collection, and all ribbon but the organdy and gingham are from the same collection, Vellum metal-edged tag from SU!; “Precious” zipper pull (on T) from All My Memories, lots of Sticky Strip and some foam tape.
Altered items: Gallon sized paint can from Home Depot (IÂ’m apparently on a paint can kick), Target Dollar Spot frame, and Making Memories letter.
I kinda bumbled on the paint can (you can see how crooked the ribbon is, whoops!) since I ran out of Sticky Strip and used foam tape to adhere the ribbon to the can. I like the dimension, but dang, you canÂ’t easy move that stuff once itÂ’s down! The frame was totally inspired by the Queen of Shabby Chic, Lisa Zappa. I watched her make a frame (which she gave to me after!!!) in Milwaukee last year, and tried to channel her greatness when I was adhering all kinds of paper and rickrack and then sponging edges!
