A different kind of wreath

Our family motto is "We Are Laughing Together Every Ridiculous Second!"  It fits us and our goofy personalities, it is also an acronym for our last name.

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/
