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.

I hope that you are now inspired to create your very own "Home Decor" creation and share it with us at H2H!

This is fabulous I love it, I just did a redo in my boys room and we have some empty space. I think this would be a perfect accent!
