Creative Daily: Summer House

A few years ago, I was totally inspired by a project that Ali Edwards created. She used a printers tray to create a beautiful wall display. Well, its been almost two years since I found and purchased a couple vintage printers trays… and they are still empty.

supplies: Paper, stickers, and journaling cards (“A Walk in the Park” by Echo Park Paper)

But these little inexpensive house shaped trays are really fast to put together. This one I created in just 20 min. using just a single picture. I have also used smaller houses – like the one below - (about 5″x7″ in size) for baby shower gifts. Perfect for a new nursery.

And here is the first little shadowbox house that I made about 4 years ago~

    Love your creations – where did you get the house trays!

    OMG! I have wanted to do one of these printer trays FOREVER! I have never been able to find a printer tray (well one that I could afford). So I have done several of the small house ones…I even found some small 9 square ones at dollar tree! I continue to keep my eyes peeled for a “real” printer tray to hang on my wall.

    Thanks for the inspiration (love the nursery idea) and for taking the time to keep such a great blog!

    These are adorable. In my dream world, I’d actually copy this and make one. In the real world, I’ll just look at yours. :)
