I just grabbed a piece of cardboard, cut it 6x6, distressed it up and smooshed green ink onto it. Then I stapled on these wallet size photos which I am completely smitten with of course. Stamped some green circles with these great circle stamps from My Stamp Box, cut them out, glued them on, covered them with Glossy Accents, stapled on the bit of twill that says "A boy is a joy", used the same for the hanging part (just turned backwards) and Voila! Bathroom wall hanging a la Kate. But I took the picture on the deck because my bathroom light is not very cooperative for getting good photos. It's a little messy and simple and the colours are me. I didn't have to cry, I didn't bleed and it took no time at all. Maybe I am learning something here. xox

Just sweet boy stuff. Because I have sweet boys.
Sometimes stuff can be simple. Most of the time I am of the mind that to be good and satisfying, a layout or altered project must take a hundred years to complete with nine thousand seperate steps and have my blood, sweat and tears attached to it. Well, blogging friends, it just doesn't have to be that way. This little gem took me less than 20 minutes to complete from initial idea to ink dry and I LOVE it!

Love it Kate! I'm a simple scrapbooker for sure. A minimalist :) I am totally into this! I'd like to make something like it for outside the doors of my boys bedrooms. A couple of projects on the go today, but I'll be marking this one in my scrap to-do's.
I love it too! Especially since there is a sneak peak of you in the door knob, ha ha.
LOL Christine...I never noticed that! Good thing I am wearing pants. ;0)
Bwahahaha! That would be something I would do....I'd better not laugh too hard :)
