Try It Tuesday~ remember the Hotel key board?

I did a class on this a few months back at Craft Crossing.  I have had it displayed in my home but decided to take all the stuff off of the board, and make a layout~so that is what is going on for 

I had a reason as to why I wanted to get these cute embellishments on a page and in an album~I wanted to hang my jewelry on the Hotel key board:):):)

So one step at a time.  Here is what I created, using all of these cool embellishments, that represents 5 awesome grands!!!

 

I started with Kraft cardstock and just started placing them on until it seemed balanced.

I have used ephemera and mostly Jenni Bowlin products.

And here is how it looks today~

And I love it!! Love the look and love that my necklaces are all in one "cute" place!!!

Hotel Key Holder by JBS~sewing board!!

I worked up my Vintage Hotel Key Holder by Jenni Bowlin again.  I have many collections and it is fun to see them out not put away.  These are some of my favorite sewing goodies~

Sometimes when I buy a tin of buttons I find all kinds of small, cute sewing items in the tin also.  I just consider it a bonus when this happens.  The four small spools, they were a bonus surprise!!  They are so small and dainty~very cute!!!!

Can you imagine doing a Christmas board?  I have it in my mind so I'll do it closer to Christmas.  I have some small vintage ornaments and some antique crystals to start with!!  I'll see what else I can find~

Thanks for stopping in today and I'll see you soon with The Play Date Cafe Challenge #145 coming Thursday~see ya then!!!

Try it Tuesday~Hotel Key Holder/JBS!

Hi everyone!!!Today is Try it Tuesday~if you didn't see this on Jenni Bowlin's site then here is your chance to take a really good look.  Her new reproduction Hotel Key Holder is her latest product.  I had such a good time working this up and I had so many different ideas on how to use this piece.  This is one way I used it~

These are special items that have been hidden in a drawer and I thought this board would make a great place to showcase them, so others can enjoy them too.

 

The earrings were my grandmothers, the lock my great-great grandfather, just to name a few.

This board has so many other uses.  You could use it exactly like it is, for keys.  You could use it as a celebration board { like for a birthday, wedding ~you hold the key to my heart}.  You could use it as a calendar ~ to count down a holiday.  So many ideas~

What are your ideas?  What would use this for?
