Fast and Fun
If your first question is "what is it?" - that's okay! It's a giant wooden clothespin that I've covered with Designer Series Paper (Dashing) to make a photo or Christmas card holder! I painted the sides with white acryllic paint tinted with Real Red reinker. Then just covered the outside and underside with DSP. I stamped the flower from Seasons of Joy in Always Artichoke and again in Real Red, punched them out and popped them up with a dimensional.
Here's a view of what it could look like holding a photo - great gifts or a fun way to decorate your mantle during the holidays. And a great way to use up some smaller pieces of all that wonderful Designer Series Paper! Enjoy! Hugs, Fran

















Love it, Fran! Oh, so very cute! Gotta know ... 1) where did you get the clothespin?, and 2) are those your cute girls in the photo?
