For the past several years I've wanted to make this punch collage by Ali Edwards.

Years. Five years of wanting to make this.
After the de-decorating from Christmas I lost a piece of wall art. For most of January I wandered around the apartment wistfully saying "where's my wall art??"
Finally I caved and decided to make the heart punch collage. Just in time for Valentine's Day.
I purged a ton of my scrapbook papers and found some of my favorite Chatterbox sheets, so started punching away. Punch is the Martha Stewart heart punch.
Originally I thought I would mount the punched hearts on red cardstock, but we really don't have much red in our kitchen, so decided to go with white textured cardstock instead.
The sheet was 8x8 and I added pop dot adhesive for each heart. All the years I've used these foam dots I threw away the extra leftover adhesive scraps. I finally realized I just had to rip it apart and use the background that is still sticky and just as good as the circles.
I bought an inexpensive matted 12x12 frame from Michael's and now the wall art is in its place.
Of course, now that it's hanging, we found the wall art.
Behind the bookshelf.
Linking up with Conni.

I Love it!!! Hmmm, think I might have to make one of those as well. Thanks for the inspiration
Adorable! I've always been a fan of that too. I've seen an owl punch and want to try that! :)
CUTE! I don't scrapbook but I love making banners, cards, and crafts like this. I also like to buy a lot of pretty paper used for scrapbooking, weird that I don't scrapbook. I know :) You did a great job and it's funny that you found the missing art after you finished this one. That kind of thing always happens to us, too!
oooh, that looks cool!
i always find things after i replace them... immediately after.
This is so stinkin' cute!!!
