As I mentioned, I thought I’d give this a whirl tonight after dinner. The only problem was my glue was missing! Most of my art supplies are scattered around. After some looking, I found a new bottle of tacky glue in a basket.

I had made most of the 3″ squares from images I found on my Flickr group or from a vintage image CD I purchased from eBay. Some of the things like the small stocking, was from a mini-scrapbook kit I found in good ol’ Big Lots. I didn’t measure the poster board correctly (though I remember laying out the squares at one point) and had the space left on the right, so I made ornaments that hang from the Christmas tag garland. I love that garland as it looks like vintage tinsel. It’s from Martha Stewart. The squares are mounted using velcro dots (which I added to hang it up too). I need to add a few more numbers for dates too. I do like it! I’m also not saying it’s finished yet either.

Much thanks to my pal Greta for making 6 of these for me. It makes it extra special because of her additions.
