Fun Foam!

I've been having lots of fun with the make It Monday challenges; I think the timing is perfect for me! Watch it on Monday evening after I get up or home, think about it until Friday, shop Friday day or evening, then create all day Saturday to have the idea come alive. Then I still have Sunday if Saturday falls apart. It's working for me, anyway- thanks Nichole and Papertrey!!

So, okay, I did not find fun foam fun or fulfilling. So nice to try a technique and not feel like I need to go out and spend $100.00 on everything in that aisle. OTOH, I like what I made! So here is my entry:

I took a dollar frame, painted the edges red, then glued on a sheet of the red print from Men Of Life. Next I put some Chai and Chamomile Vintage Touch ink around the edges.

I bought only one piece of fun foam, and got white because I thought it would give me the most options. Papertrey dies cut it just like butter. I liked the Tree Trimming Trio die best with the photo. For the life of me I could not get a stamp to look good in any ink, so I just smooshed 3 different colors of Memento ink all over the cut out, then applied some red rhinestones.

I ran a strip of Pure Poppy Saddle Stitch ribbon up the side, and anchored it with Scor-Tape. Scor-Tape anchored the tree, too. I am thinking I will either get or make some metal numbers (2010) and put them on the top somewhere.
