Getting Crafty - Pretty Paper and Japanese Tape

It was time for a new notice board in my office so this gave me a great opportunity to get crafty after spotting this great idea at our bloggers catch up a few weeks ago.


First of all I started with this white Ikea frame I had sitting around looking very lonely.  I also had some great sheets of patterned paper that I had picked up at my local art store - you know the type of paper you see in one of those cute bins near the counter - you like the colour and the pattern but don't want to use it to wrap a present with because then you wouldn't have the paper any more! This one was perfect for the project at hand!

I took out the mount and covered it with my pretty paper.  Looks cute so far!

Next I found my latest obsession - tape! 
Pretty coloured paper tape!
I found these ones in Typo.


 Now to make it in to a notice board - somewhere I could stick a reminder - a saying that I liked - a picture I fancied, but not one that I stuck a pin in - one that I used tape on.

Perfect.  Job done.

And finally a great place for Jordan's print (get yours here)


I think I will be spending my easter weekend finding pretty things to stick on it!
