This is my favorite board so far. I took a sepia toned photo and printed it on copy paper. I cut it out and burned the edges with a lighter (Please no one get hurt doing that). I painted a scripture on two small pieces of scrap paper and then burned around the edges of them as well. (The verse reads: My lover is mine, and I am his. Song of Songs 2:16)I applied a full size piece of scrapbook paper, because that just happened to be the size of my board, using Modge Podge. I have not mastered the art of MP yet, but a few bubbles never hurt anyone, right? I just continued layering as you can see. When the MP dried, I painted the rough edges allowing a bit of paint to come onto the front because it helps with the whole aged look I was going for. I hot glued some fringe to the back corners which made a little hanger--you can sort of see it on the last image. I also added a real metal hanger on the back for more support.

This one is mostly painted. I painted two rectangles that would provide a frame for the photos. Then I glued ribbon around each frame. I found some huge bags of fringe and cording remnants at Hobby Lobby for about $3. That is why I went a little crazy adding the black sequined elastic and huge pink furry stuff on the edges. I hot-glued magnetic clips to hold the photos. They were a little sad looking so I added a rhinestone to each for good measure. At the top I just glued a whole bunch of foo-foo stuff, all of which can be found at the crafters' mecca, Hobby Lobby.
These are adobable! Such cute ideas.
