Windowpane Photo Project Complete!!!

OK so this is one of these ideas that you think will be super quick and then you get into it and realize you really had no idea.  I have always wanted a picture behind a windowpane.  Initially I was going to do 6 pictures from my wedding in 2003.  Then I realized I would rather have a current picture.  This lead us into having that pretend marriage (I mentioned on this post), in order to get a current photo. 
Supplies
$8 windowpane
some knowledge of Photoshop or your very own Tammy Johnson :)
a photo floated onto 6 10x13
new glass cut from Lowe's to replace the old ones
sandpaper

And this is the end result.

Joyful Stars June Blog Hop

   Welcome to the first ever Joyful Stars Blog Hop!  We're excited to share our creativity with you using our favorite Close To My Heart products.  Thank you for stopping by for the Joyful Stars Team Blog Hop.   If you are coming from Krista Hershberger at Kristascraftycorner.blogspot.com, then you are on the right path.  

   My hubby and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary in the Bahamas, where we pretended to get married again.  We said nice things to each other, because I like him more than I did 10 years ago!  We hired a photographer to capture our moment.  For our first entry, we had complete freedom to create whatever we wanted.  Here's what I came up with.  The inspiration for this layout can be found on page 34 of the Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book.

 A Closer Look

 Our vows tucked in a pocket behind the popped journaling box.

Get a Mini Banner for Free with a $25 purchase!

Receive a free My Creations^® mini banner in June! Make it a “banner” day by placing a $25 order that includes a qualifying stamp set to receive your free mini banner. The mini banner includes 10 chipboard pennants in 4 different shapes with 9 jump rings for hanging. Use the mini banner as a decoration for your parties and get-togethers this summer for many “banner” days! This promotion is available until June 30th. 

More details:
Are there any Close To My Heart products that do not count toward a qualifying purchase?
Yes. Purchases on Studio J^® do not count toward a qualifying order. Also, a $25 qualifying order must include a stamp set, but some stamp sets do not qualify, including M-size and K-size stamp sets, including Workshops on the Go^® stamp sets, and Stamp of the Month sets.
Can I get more than one free mini banner on a single order?
Yes! One free mini banner will be automatically added to your cart for every $25 and at least one stamp set on the order. This means that if the order totals a minimum of $50 and has two stamp sets on the order, two mini banners will be added; $75 with three stamp sets will receive three mini banners, and so on. There is no limit to the number of mini banners eligible for each order, as long as minimum criteria are met and inventory remains.

Once again I am offering a Mystery Hostess Gathering on my website for the month of June.  Make sure to click the "Join June Mystery Hostess" button when checking out. Get your banner today!
