I have been wanting to make a welcome sign for the front door with our motto on it, but I was having trouble with the how until I broke the glass in a picture frame.
Normally broken glass would mean I had to clean up and buy a new frame. This time when I held up the now empty frame I was inspired. I quickly dug through my scrapbooking supplies for a chip board banner I had been saving. While digging I found some paper flowers and buttons from a past project.
It was amazing how hot glue and a few embellishments changed an empty frame into a wreath. Using two different sizes of alphabet stamps I was able to make our name stand out but still fit our motto.
The stamps, ink, and chipboard banner were all from "Close to My Heart." I am a consultant for the company and if you are inspired to recreate the project you can purchase those supplies on line from my business website. http://caytw.ctmh.com/
