May Arts/DCWV Challenge

I was oh-so-lucky to get to play along with this past month's May Arts/DCWV challenge! I normally try to participate in the May Arts challenge, but this one was extra special because not only did I get to play with specific ribbons, but I was also given some pretty papers to play with too!

Each participant got half a stack of the "Snapshot" stack from DCWV. I LOOOOVE this stack! The colors are so beautiful and there are so many possibilities with this stack!

We also got to choose 4 of the ribbons to play with. I chose all but the jute. I have a ton of jute and the others stood out a little more to me. 

See... I told you the colors were beautiful! 

I started out with this pan/baking sheet. I'm not really sure what it is, but I spotted it at a thrift store for $2 and thought it would make an awesome magnet board! Plus, I thought the handles were cool to tie ribbon to!

Here's my finished product... don't worry, I have lots of close ups to show as well! 

When I saw this sheet of paper I thought it would make a PERFECT little notepad!

So I cut it up and tied it together and viola! A little notepad on my magnetic memo board! 

The little rosettes have magnets on the back, so they can be used to hold little notes. 

Originally, I wanted to make a banner for my project, but later changed my mind. The little Polaroids really stood out to me as something that would make a cute banner, so I decided to incorporate them in! Plus, I wanted to showcase a couple of my black & white photos as well and use it as a home decor piece in my bedroom. 

I also scored a bag of clothes pins at the thrift store for .50 cents. There's nothing that a little Glimmer Mist can't spruce up! 

There you have it! My May Arts/DCWV challenge project! I am loving how it turned out and I'm very excited to hang it on my wall! The colors match my room perfectly and this project is multi-functional! It's a home decor piece and a magnetic memo board all in one!
