Michael's Holiday Craft Contest - Week Five
I am sorry that I have been missing this week. I didn't feel well early in the week due to three nights in a row of "party food/rich restaurant food". After recovering from my tummy woes, I had yet another evening out with hubby and his business associate and I had to go into my office for a day. But... In the midst of my busy week, I have been working a couple of projects. The larger of the projects is this wall collage in my entry way for this week's Holiday Crafting Contest at Michaels.
For those who haven't been keeping up, this is week five of a seven week contest sponsored by Michaels on Facebook - Michael's Craft Some Holiday Magic Contest. I have entered four of the five weeks and actually won week two. Each of the seven weekly finalist will be in a final run off to win a Cruise. I may be calling on all of you in a couple of weeks for help and support me in my attempts to win the cruise!
Each Monday morning Michael's releases three new mystery items that must be used in that week's project. This week the three mystery items are WIRE, PHOTO FRAME(S), and WRAPPING PAPER.
I took ten photo frames and framed seven family Christmas photos from throughout the years. The oldest photo is my husband and his little brother with Santa in 1966; the newest is from last Christmas. Two of the photos are family Christmas photos and two of them are my children with Santa - 18 years ago and 7 years ago (when the older two were in high school). I used wrapping paper as matting behind the older photo of my children with Santa, and trimmed it out with peel offs (see above).
For the remaining three frames, I used wrapping paper, cardstock stickers or Cricut cuts to create Christmas scenes to add a whimsical touch to the collage (again see above).
I embellished nine of the frames with artificial greenery, curled wire, mini-ornaments, and HO-HO-HO red ribbon. The embellishments not only added to the overall holiday feel of the project, but they also gave me a way to incorporate the final mystery element - wire.
The final addition to the entry way wall was three vinyl words cut with the Cricut, JOY, CHRISTMAS, and PEACE. While I truly do not expect to win the contest this week (there are some cut projects posted), I was happy that both my husband and my daughter really liked our holiday collage.
