Hello again!

so brent and is apartment is still not exactly "ready" by my standards so it may still be a little bit before i post some pics.... buuut...if we can just a few more things hung on the wall we really will be done (for now)...decorating in my opinion is never REALLY finished. but i do have a little sneak peak of what weve been working on. Since i am still jobless and trying desperately to find MORE great, unique things to tell the PA school application people, i needed to get my creative juices flowing. Can i tell you a secret...though i really really miss making money, i am LOVING getting back into my creative roots...painting, decorating, color matching, photography, scrapbook, etc etc... it is so liberating to not be so exhausted and frustrated from work that all you want to do is sit on the couch and stare haha. i have been doing a lot of projects and looking at a lot of of other blog so i thought id spice mine up with a little art project.....

I our last home, brent and i had a frame collage wall. when i lived with jennifer i had a collage wall. while the arrangements and pics were different i was still ready to do something a tad different...and more colorful ;)

so we found some inspiration and created....the cd case collage.....da na na naaaaaa.....


step 1. find abandoned old cd albumns or buy a new set at most stores that sell electronics or office supplies

step 2. take out any paper or cd album info to make them all clear

step 3. pick out some prints youd like and make them or cut them into
(we each picked a few that we'd taken over the past year...our theme was more macro-views and color and contrast)

step 4. put the prints in the back of each cd case

step 5. attach velcro to the back (front part really) of the cd cover and then situate and stick on the wall
( i say velcro b/c that way its easy to attach, rearrange, and change pics...and its cheap and easy to do)
VOILA!

this art looks great, took MAYBE 2 hrs total if you count picking pics, printing, getting supplies, and hanging, etc, and it costs a total of $24.00!

...it wouldve cost less if we had old cases in good condition buuut it have a tendancy to break or sratch those things from riding around in my care console for months at a time ;)

so there you have it, heres a nice view of our corner art in all its glory


more creative projects and updates to come...i dont have an excuse not to update as i dont have a 40 hrs job....ps if you know of something let me know ;)
