Design Team: Lyssa Zimmerman Week 9 Term 2

Lyssa Zimmerman's Family Home Evening Chart

We just love trash to treasure re-do's! And today, Lyssa Zimmerman did just that! She upcycled an old frame into a functional family activity board!

Don't you love when a project that you have in your mind goes according to plan and it turns out better than you thought?Let me introduce you to what i'm talking about...

This is our family's Family Home Evening magnet board. Each week, we get together as a family and do activities, treats, and a lesson. It's a wonderful way to bond as a family. My kids love it and look forward to Monday's. I'll go into details later, but let's see how this baby was born.

Materials Used:

eCraft machine Fundamentals 1 SD

CutMates cardstock paper

Shrink and Bake paper

Patterned Paper by My Mind's Eye

Alpha mini Stamps from Hobby Lobby

Modge Podge

I started with this. It's a large print inside a wooden frame. I got this for free!

Next, I grabbed some metal sheets I got from Home Depot and hot glued them onto the large mounted print that I popped out of the wooden frame.

Next, I grabbed some paper and started the design process. I added some cut outs from the Fundamentals SD card.

Then I cut out a few more and started grafting some branches in. I used Modge Podge to get everything set.

After a hard night's work, my design was finally done! I used some journaling spots from Joann's dollar spot for the labels. Cut out some letters for my title.
