The newest anything goes craft challenge at
is now live for the month of February !
This month I'm sharing a few projects I
created for a recent remodel of a room.
The centerpiece of the above wall display is a 12 x 12
scrapbook page I made to showcase photos of Mustang cars.

I painted a piece of gray 12 x 12 card stock silver.
I measured and cut out three "windows".
Red, white and blue card stock was cut to fit beneath
the cut outs then scored multiple times.
I taped the scored card stock under the cut outs.
A lot of work to recreate the look of
part of a Ford Mustang emblem for a scrap book page,
but it was worth it to me.
Another wall features two shadowboxes.
Above them hangs a large collage photo frame
I custom made many years ago.
Shadow box that I added home made spacers to so I could
mount dimensional dash plaques and hat pins.
The spacers were cut from foam core that I painted black.
They are adhered inside the frame with double stick tape.
A scrap of mat board painted with the same paint as the wall
is the base for the plaques and pins. It rests on top of the
edge of the spacers , the bottom edges are against the glass.
A deeper shadowbox that I was able to mount
some old hot wheels in along with the original
Hot Wheels Club membership "card" received
many years ago. I had the okay to cut apart the original
plastic inserts of the box that the 8 piece collector
car set came in. I was going to have some custom
pieces made from plexiglass for it to save the original box,
but he said he really didn't care, go ahead and cut it up.
I made simple "checkered flag" window valances from a
large buffalo check table cloth.
There are also numerous die cast cars on display that were collected by my father.
We received them after his passing.
Quite a change from the old green painted walls with a country and ivy theme
room it was for the past 17 years, but perfect for us !
Thanks for looking =)
