Paper Crafts Gallery Idol Reject Project #2

As you know, Gallery Idol is underway and there are just two days left to VOTE! Word on the street is that you should vote for entry #6!!

Last Friday, when I found out I was in the Top 20 group, my mind immediately was a flurry of DIY embellishment ideas!

As I sat at my desk on Friday afternoon, scoring IQ tests and writing reports, I started fidgeting with some paperclips on my desk...then I got an idea...


On Saturday, I turned my idea into a card and even though I didn't enter this DIY embellie into the contest, I thought I'd share it with you here!

 

 

I channeled my love for Office Depot with this one by using some supplies that you might find on any given workday! 

I created a little corkboard for this card and then a fun notebook page to feature the sentiment.

The paperclip flower is quite possible the easiest DIY embellishment ever! I pulled out my hot glue gun...which I LURVE and adhered the paperclips to a circle punched piece of paper. Stick a button in the middle and call it a day!

Now, you can't see it in this photo, but I also adhered a little magnet on the back of the flower. This way, the recipient can mount this embellie on the fridge to help hold important reminders and papers! Don't you just love a double duty embellishment?

Well, that's all for my Gallery Idol rejects. I've got my fingers crossed that I'll get to play in the next round and maybe share a few more rejects with you!

Thanks for stopping by for some Damask Love...now go VOTE VOTE VOTE in the Gallery Idol competition!!!!
