Memo Boards

My neighbor and I spent the last few weeks making memo boards. I wanted a place where I could hang up the many pictures and pieces of art that usually adorn our refrigerator. Plus, the big empty hallway by our garage needed something interesting, and I thought it would be the perfect place for this stuff.

But I didn't want the same ol' colors you find everywhere in my house, so I went with something "funky fresh."

This is the smallest board at 16X20. The flower buttons were so fun to do with the ruffly ribbon on this board.


This is the biggest board at 22X28. I wanted to use the wide ribbon, but it was out of stock, so I ended up doing the skinny ribbon, and I like it!


This is the middle sized board at 18X24. I really loved the contrast of the black buttons and white thread on this one.


At first I thought I'd hang all three boards on the biggest wall...


But then I realized the doorknob might hit the lowest board, so I put the last board on the other wall. I don't know about the arrangement... what do you think?


Yeah, I know I need to take those 80's posters down. They've been up for a month now!

I really like the one with the white ribbon. Cool Arizona flag art! Ur hanging looks fine to me but my walls are empty so I don't know.
