Teaching Thursdays: Traveling Memories Frame
By: Candie Cooper - To learn more about Candie visit her blog, Candie's Journal It was my grandparents who hooked me on travel at an early age. Each summer we took a big trip for a week. We went to president's homes, museums, orchestra concerts, the zoo, Washington DC, Philly. I am so lucky to have experienced such adventures with them. I can still remember making a pit stop at a rest area and the cooler packed in the back of the trunk with Diet Coke, Dixie Cups, ice in baggies and donuts. Wonderful. Maybe you took a trip this summer? If so, I've got a special "Travel Memories" frame for you. This frame focuses around my trip to California in January. Yours can be about one trip, or special memories throughout the year. You can add as you go... This is an awesome frame because the border is actually cork, so you can tack up tickets and whimsies around the focal picture. Round up (or start saving) tickets, maps, menus, etc.... Paint the frame however you like! If you've seen my posts before, you know I love a striped border!  Add a touch of sparkle (in this case Hollywood glam) over your cork with Extreme Glitter. There are tons of Extreme Glitter colors. I used Hologram because, well, it's my favorite. Nothing says travel like a map! Cut wavy strips of your favorite streets around the area you were in and Mod Podge them along the sides of the frame. Put a picture or collage on the inside of the frame, then tack your souvenirs and ephemera around the edge. Voila', the rest is history! I think it's always a good idea to surround yourself with happy memories in your home.
