My Other Creations: Magnetic Memo Board using Inky Antics' Encouraging Words and Tim Holtz's Photobooth Images

We are making home decor items this week for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!  I made a magnetic memo board to display different quotes, like this one I designed for Inky Antics' Encouraging Words stamp set.

I started with a piece of Strathmore Mixed Media paper that I stamped and painted on.

Next I stenciled some white polka dots onto the background and glued on some photobooth pictures from Tim Holtz.

I added some acrylic paint in various colors as well as some Washi Tape.

I painted a square picture frame I had and added some brown around the edges of my background page.  Next I cut out a piece of sheet metal into a square the same size as my background page.  I put the page in the frame with the sheet metal square behind it so that magnets could stick to it.  

I put the whole thing together and glued a magnet to the back of a Tim Holtz clip.  Then I stamped this quote onto a piece of patterned paper, which I cut out.  All that was left was to clip the quote to the board.

I wrote this quote for everyone (myself included) who may be going through something hard.  It's a reminder to be grateful of what we do have in the present and not waste time or energy wishing for something that can't be.  That's easier said than done, but no matter how dark things get, there's always something to be thankful for NOW.
