Today, I'm posting something that's only connected with Stampin' Up! in that I used Basic Black card stock in the project - but I absolutely LOVE this, and have to share it with you! :D
I saw a project on Pinterest that I really would love to do for a birthday party some day, but it will cost me a little bit for frames.
However, it really sparked me. :D
The base on this is one of those Febreeze bases with a flickering light in it; you put the scented shade around it, and it looks like a decorative votive candle thing.
Well, the sleeves are a little strong for my family, so I had this base lying around. Since I've cleaned out my studio, things don't lie around as much as they have in the past, and I told myself to either find a use or get rid of it.
Get rid of it?!?! That goes against every packrat instinct I have! :D Repurpose it is!
So, I printed out four of my vertical beach pictures from February's trip onto vellum card stock. I cut the Basic Black card stock to the correct length and width, then cut windows into it. I attached the vellum inside the windows with glue dots; I should have left a little more vellum around the edges for easier adhering, but that's a lesson learned for next time. :)
I love this. It's a quiet reminder of a wonderful trip, and my favorite place on Earth. Oh, and I got Volume 1 of my scrap book from the trip. You really need to stop by and see them both. :D
Have a WONDERFUL day, and be sure to make the time to stamp SOMEthing! :D

This is really neat. Have you tried putting one of those battery operated votives inside? Just wondering what it would look like.
