Hay you snazzy folks, So have you been enjoying the G45 offerings so far, I hope so.. There is still plenty more to come starting with my first project of the week
It started life as a plain 8x8 canvas board.
I pulled out some of the cream and black papers from the pad for this project.
I started with fancy side of 'Mercurial Masterpiece' then inlaid with a slightly smaller piece of the diamond side of 'Olde Curiosity Shoppe'
I used a scrap of the lined 'Optical Oddities' paper to line a tag, and a scrap of the dotty 'Mercurial Masterpiece' to cover some old chipboard letters I had in my stash.
I doubled up some of the Idea-ology Rose Trimmings, and finished with some G45 metal flowers and gold Perfect Pearl spritzed paper roses.
Now came the fun part.. I got 3 wooden mouse traps, removed the metal bits I didn't need and painted them with Studio Black Gesso
Then I cut some of the 'Optical Oddities' signs to fit the traps.
I embellished using the G45 matching Chipboard shapes.
To pretty it up a bit I used some lace from my stash to edge the bottom and to hang I used 2 of the Idea-ology Swivel Clasps connected together with a brass brad and one of the G45 Chipboard Shapes.
..............
And there you have it, A very handy clippy note hanging.
Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back on Wednesday with my next project.
Till then Stay Inky

Great piece and very clever use of the traps!
What a brilliant idea Minxy and fabulous use of these papers and embellishments. I love how you kept the colour palette so simple. How much nicer is this to hang on your wall than a plain old cork board.
Fab first project.

Hello Minxy. I love the cleverness of your hanging note board! The Olde Curiosity Shoppe is one of my favorite G45 paper lines and you've shown a very artistic use of the colors. Thanks for the inspiration and the unique idea!
