Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog: From Your Heart To Ours "Home Decor"

Click on the pictures for a larger view!!!
Hi Everyone!
This week at H2H we are creating "Home Decor" pieces.  This is one of my favorite challenges because I love to make things for the home with Close To My Heart products that are useful.  I'm a minimalist at heart and believe that the less clutter around the house... means less things to clean.  LOL!
So when I create things for my home, they pretty much have to be very useful like this FABULOUS and functional cork board for my son Nathan's room. 
For this project I used the "Lucky" Level 2 paper packet from CTMH and the matching embellishments.  This happened to be my son's favorite paper packet, so I surprised him with this board.  
 
I didn't want to use thumbtacks (just because I don't want the paper to get ruined and I don't want Nathan to get hurt) so I made matching photo mats for his pictures.  The corner stamped images serve at the perfect holders, you simply tuck the pictures in the corners for a perfect fit.
 
The board has a lot of detail without having too many 3D pieces.
  For this "In-box" I used the "Storage Solutions by Thicker" 
I purchased mine at Paper Tales in Point Loma, however, you can find them on the web.  The link above for for "Buy.com", but I found them on Ebay, Amazon, Sears.com and more.
 I cut the organizer to 6" and decorated it, I think that's my favorite part of the board.  Now Nathan has a place to put his tests, notes and weekly paper work from his teacher.
So now please take a moment to check out what the other DT's created for the challenge.
I hope that you are now inspired to create your very own "Home Decor" creation and share it with us at H2H!
Don't forget!... you have the entire month to play along with these challenges.  Deadline to enter all March challenges is March 26th, 2011 at 10 pm EST. The more you play, the more chances you have to win the prizes from our lovely sponsors Angela Parchey and Lori Brown.
