Framing a quote...Emily style! (and one more!)

Hello! Emily again with a lovely little project for you today. I was talking to a good friend the other day and in the conversation a quote came up. She loved the sentiment, but admitted that like me, she has a hard time remembering exact wording of great quotes. The light bulb went off in my head and here is the result, a little framed piece of art that she can put on her bedside table to help her memory! 

And so that you can re-create it, here are the instructions:

1. Cut the canning jar from the paper, add the sentiment and any decorations you'd like.

2. Cut out flowers from your paper.

3. Create your background. Mine is a 5x7 piece of patterned paper plus a strip of ribbon and cardstock across the bottom.

4. Place the canning jar on the paper, then arrange and adhere the flowers. Pop dot some of them for texture.

5. Adhere the canning jar once the flowers are as you'd like. 

6. Add some bling between the flowers.

7. Place the completed artwork in your frame and enjoy!

As you can see this was really easy to put together. Hopefully this will inspire you to take your favorite quotes and make art from them!   ~ Emily Pitts

We're celebrating Leap Day by giving one SCT reader a mystery box with 29 beautiful patterned papers to brighten up your day.  If you were to receive this box, what would you want to be in it?  At 8:00 p.m. tonight we will randomly be selecting one reader to receive this FABULOUS package! 

Have a great, creative day!

[Tracey]

This ia a fabulous project!! Gorgeous!!

Thanks for the chance at the giveaway too!! How about a mystery box with some Jillibean Soup or Bella Blvd or Bo Bunny or Authentique or....well....frankly, there isn't much you could put in it that I wouldn't love!!!

In my box of 29 papers I would like to see some Basic Grey What's Up, PB and J, and Konnichiwa. Or anything you want to give me... Happy 29th of February!

[Francine]

I would simply be excited for new paper. lol It's been a while since I bought any new paper, so anything in the box would have to be newer than what I have right now and that would make me ecstatic.

[Laurence]

This is so cute ! I'd love to get authentique, tim holtz, for example...

[diana]

Great project! And thanks for the chance to win! I love patterned paper, especially My Minds Eye, Prima, Basic Grey, October Afternoon, Prima and Dear Lizzy Neapolitan! TFS ;-)

[Bonnie Cooper]

I would LOVE Paislee Pink Papers... IF the new London Market isn't out, anything else they have. I usually like the shabby chic script or stamping on papers look. Birds and etc. are a fave. I love the idea today and the quote.. I am the same way, I like many quotes but don't know how I want to display them, thanks for a great idea.

[Monika Wright]

Adore Emily's project, as always. And in my goody box...I'd be more about the colors of aqua, yellow, turquoise and tangerine tango than anything! Can you tell I'm looking forward to Spring?

[Cindy deRosier]

Ooh, I'd want Bella Blvd, Jillibean Soup, Fancy Pants, maybe some BasicGrey.... honestly, I can't really think of anything I wouldn't want!

[Alycia Tedford]

Since my b-day is March 1, I have to wait once extra day to start celebrating... and winning such a fantastic prize of paper would make Feb 29th pretty special. I'd lvoe some Bo-Bunny!!!

[Maria Therese]

Oh there would definitely be Dear Lizzy in there and maybe a Amy T daybook ♥

[doreen]

I would absolutely love to win. I love my scarpbook and cards magazine and am glad we have 1 extra day to scrapbook and make cards this year.

[Becky Fleck]

Emily, your project is just stunning -- love the quote!

[Lori Vogtsberger]

I would love to win this. I would use this to make cards that we do for charity. We make cards for local nursing homes, childrens hospitals, men and women serving us overseas and breast cancer survivors. We put alot of smiles on alot of peoples faces and this would help us add to the smiles. Anything we can win or get donated helps our cause. Thanks for the chance to win.

[Emily Keaton]

I would want some beautiful papers from October Afternoon, Webster's Pages, Cosmo Cricket, Echo Park, and Pink Paislee. That's not asking for much, is it? ;)

[Deb V in manitoba]

If I won a box with pattern paper in it, the best for me would be Crate Paper and Harmonie. I don't have access to these, and I'd love to make something with them.

Something cheery for Spring - all the latest from CHA?? Grateful for the chance.
Happy leap day.

[Joanie G]

Beautiful project!

I'd love to see some Pink Paislee papers! Especially the London Market collection. But I love almost every paper I see!

As we are wishing, if the box came to my house, I'd love to see some Basic Grey "Up and Away", PB & J, vintage Bo Bunny and London Market from Pink Paislee. Thanks for the draw and Happy Birthsay to the Leaplings!

Ooh, I'm easy to please and not too picky...though I'd love some Bella Blvd, Dear Lizzy or Amy Tangerine! And maybe some My Mind's Eye, Pink Paislee and Webster's Pages! Ahh, a girl can dream, right?! :D
