Giveaway #2
UPDATE: The winner of giveaway #2 is craftydame. Congratulations! (Comments on this post are now closed.)
Design team member Patti Monroe-Mohrenweiser turned some corks, an old wooden stamp mount and some wire into this clever photo holder. In keeping with her pink and red theme, she decorated it with images from the Little Pink Things collage sheet, and shows it in action here holding some of the Be Mine faux postage stamps.
Little collage sheets are filled with smaller imagery suitable for jewelry, ATCs and other tiny treasures. Each 8-1/2 x 11 inch sheet contains armloads of small images. See them in all sorts of themes here.
Leave a comment for Patti to enter into Valentine’s giveaway #2. At the end of the day, I’ll draw a name, and the winner will receive a free six month subscription to The Monthly Muse.

WOW – that is such a clever idea! The image belies it’s size but it is magnificent! Now I finally have something to do with allllll those corks
What an awesome idea Patti! You turned ordinary things into an amazing work of art! TFS!
Glad I found your blog. Lots of really pretty prints to choose from. Thanks.
Hi Patti, these are so cute. Great idea for those corks rolling around in my junk drawer. Thanks for the chance at the Monthy Muse subscription Lisa. Enjoy your Groundhog’s Day ladies. Sally sjhackney@yahoo.com
so cute! i love the little pink things images on the corks, they’re blended in so nicely that they look like they’ve always been together!
Love the images
So cute, a unique way to display the cute images. Thank you for the countdown free images too. I have posted a link on my blog.
The little photo holder is so clever and very cute.
Thanks for the great idea. I have tons of cork tops and had no idea what to do with them. The youth at church will be busy preparing center pieces for the Valentine’s dinner. WooHoo!!!!
very cool piece. nice giveaway

I like the use of the corks. People are always giving them away of my local freecycle and I am constantly thinking these have to be more crafty things to do with them.
What a wonderful use of what another might discard- the earth is happy to have an artist that helps out in such a way!
I love this idea. . . I have so many corks from the many, many bottles of wine I’ve shared in my day, and I have too numerous to count wooden blocks from stamps I’ve bought and then turned into stamps to use with acrylic blocks. . . so this is a great idea for birthday/Christmas/whatever gifts for people. . . and a great way to display photos. . . think I’ll start with a display for my son’s “pictures with Santa” from when he was a little boy as well as Christmas pictures of my brother and me when we were little — they’ll be great to set around at Christmas!!! Thanks, Patti, for your creativity with this great idea!!!
Super idea for using up those old corks……I like it a lot…recycling at its best!!!
My kids gave me a bunch of corks and I didn’t come up with anything clever to do with them. this would be a great way to use them and give them back as a creative gift to display pics of their darling daughter. It’s a terrific idea.
Patti, this is very lovely with a touch of funk…love it! I think it would be great as a place card holder or used at a buffet to hold the food names (not very well put, but I think you know what I mean)
Tecu’Mish
That is awesome. It is so pretty. You’ve given me a great idea as I love vintage stuff and am also a photographer so I could do a few of these. Some vintage and some with my photography.
Patti, Your idea is wonderful! Thanks for sharing it. HUGS
I just discovered your site and I’ll certainly be back!
Thanks!
Patti, I love your wonderful creation. I like how you put those faux stamps on the wires to hold. It’s a wonderful way to display those faux stamps or even real stamps or other small pieces of art ( like ATC’s,for one ideal). Would make for a lovely table decoration at a craft party. You are very talented and thanks for sharing. Looking forward to checking out more of your creations. Hugs!
I love this, what a great idea!
wonderful creation!
What a wonderful Idea, wow payday is tomorrow.Might just have to try to make one. Like Gloria I too have many corks lying around.. lol.. great work and thanks for the inspiration!
Hugs all,
Cat
Patti, that is a VERY clever idea!!! I’ve got wine corks!!! I think I’ll do this for my daughter (away at college)!! She’s always got a bunch of photos that she wants to show. Thanks a bunch for this idea.
Very clever piece of art..I do like showing off some beautiful stamps…….and definately a conversation piece….
Really nice photo holder. Seems like it would be very do-able and fun. Thanks for sharing.

Go green , use pink. Lovely reuse of corks in Valentine style.
Patti, you are so clever and talented! Who would have thought of something so unusual.

This is fabulous! I’ve made wire photo holders before, but LOVE how you have incorporated the corks! What a great spark of inspiration!! Now my mind is clicking on other possible uses, too……Thanks for the ideas!! What a wonderful piece of art! XOXO
This is a darling project and a great give away. Thanks
Now I get to encourage my friends to Drink Wine so I can have the corks!! I already have them Eat Altoids so I can have the tins- thank goodness they think this is all part of my “Therapy” – What a fun idea – my mind is racing for all the things to do with this project – Karen
This is a great idea, but I didn’t realize how small it is until I read the write-up. I would love to win a subscription to the monthly muse.
Great way to use old corks and the wood mounts from rubber stamps. Thanks for the great ideas! Ronda
A lovely little item to give to a loved one, and several great ideas to boot!

How adorable. I love tiny things. Beautiful work, glad I was able to see it. Thank you
What a clever use of an old stamp block and some corks. I’d love to make some in a variety of color combinations—-for other holidays. That’s really neat.
Patti, what a clever idea. I have oodles of corks and now I know what can be done with them.
Thanks!

How creative………I like to see art made from odds and ends like the old stamp mount. Love it!
Patti, how inspired! I love stamps and I love wine. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing it with us.
What a great photo holder. What a “DUH!” moment when I saw she used corks for the bases…fabulous idea!
Hi, Patti! This is an amazingly creative use for old corks. I just happen to have a bag of them stashed down in the bottom drawer in my kitchen. I think I might just have to give something like this a try and see what I come up with. Too cool!
I wanted to comment on the first day’s project as well, but I think the comments must be closed due to the giveaway. So I’ll post it here. I love how the tags are so simple, yet you don’t notice because they’re excellently executed. Great job.
And now my comment about the photo holder. I’ve been so amazed these last few days with the originality of the art posted here, and today is no exception. Great idea, wonderfully constructed.
What a great project. I love photo holders. Thanks for sharing this idea.
This would be a lovely Valentine gift for your Mother, sister, or non-romantic friend. Plus it’s a good use of all those old wine corks!
Awesome!! u definately can lite up a lovers lite with this art piece,
thanks !!
What a great idea! I love to use photo holders to display my ATCs…this one is perfect for Valentine cards!
What a cool idea. this is perfect for ATC
Thanks

I love this. I think my granddaughter would like to make a couple of these for gifts. Thanks for sharing,..Gayle
