This Thursday's Product Spotlight is on our Happy Together Element Stickers. The serene colors, pretty patterns, and sweet sentiments make these stickers perfect for so many different types of projects!
Today we have a special treat for you! Not only did Greta Hammond use these happy stickers on a lovely home decor project, but she is also sharing the instructions so you can make your own!
Greta says, "This Happy Together line makes me think of home decor! The colors and patterns are warm and subtle enough to blend into any room so I decided to do a simple clipboard to showcase some of my favorite photos of my husband and kids. I wanted to fit a number of photos on it so I resized them to 2.5" wide and used a digital frame on each one to resemble a negative strip. It's a fun way to show a series of photos that tell a story! Here are the basic instructions to make one for yourself."

Really good idea using so nice digital frames is cool!! Do you have copyrights of these?What about digitally signing these if we need to send it via mail?

Well said. I never thought I would agree with this opinion, but I’m starting to view things from a different view. I have to research more on this as it seems very interesting. One thing I don’t understand though is how everything is related together.
