Doggone Craft Collage

Tomorrow, June 24 is Take Your Dog to Work Day! Every year, pet lovers promote pet adoption by bringing their four-legged friends in to the office.

We know not all of you will be lucky enough to bring your pets to the office. But you can celebrate your pet everyday with a personalized "I Love My Dog" collage that you can frame, and display on your desk, or hang on your corkboard! (And custom framing orders are 60% off through 6/25!).

Here are our suggestions, below, but feel free to make your crafty collage fit your dog (or cat's!) personality.

Supplies:

• Jo-Ann Craft Essentials™ Card Embellishment “I Love My Dog”
• Jo-Ann Scrap Essentials™, Silver Mini Brads
• Jo-Ann Scrap Essentials™, Double-Sided Alphabet Charms
• 12 x 12 Dark green cardstock
• 12 x 12 Purple cardstock

Directions:

1. Use the dark green 12" x 12" cardstock as your background.
2. Use the purple cardstock to create photo mats for your photos, leaving a 1/4" border around your photos. For the double photo mat, leave a 1-3/4" space between the two photos for your embellishment.
3. Tear a 2" x 12" strip of the purple cardstock. Place this on the bottom portion of your page. This will create the background for your title strip.
4. Take your “I Love My Dog” embellishments and place the paw stamp and bone square on both ends of the title strip, slightly askew. Place the “I Love My dog” stamp on your double photo mat in the space you left in-between the two photographs.
5. Use the double-sided alphabet charm letters to create your title. Attach the charms to your title strip using silver mini-brads.
6. Finish embellishing your page with journaling.
