eP ~ "Laugh" ~ Wall Hanging Canvas for my Friend

This is posted at the eclectic Paperie blog today.  Check it out to see the process photos!

 

Here is the wall hanging on MY wall so you can see what it looks like with the crinkled seam binding.  At the end of this post, I will tell you WHY my Sweet friend, Pam, is holding the ketchup bottles!

This is a flat 5x7 canvas adhered to an 8x10 canvas.

Here's a more up close version:

I used LOTS of Prima goodies on this one!

The Prima Baroque frame is made from resin and I painted it with several shades of gold.

The BG paper is from the Prima Stationer's Desk 6 x 6 paper pack.

All of the trinkets are Prima Mechanicals painted with Emperor's Gold Silks Acryllic paint. LOVE the shine it adds!

 

In case you didn't see my previous post, I am now a Prima Ambassador, so you will probably be seeing more Prima products on my blog.  I am so EXCITED!

 

Okay, now for the story!

I belong to a group of 6 friends and we call ourselves the Posse.  One of our Posse members is moving so we have been going out to Happy Hour a LOT because we want to spend as much time with her as we can.

Anyway we were at this really nice restaurant and they had these mini ketchup bottles we all loved.  We asked the waiter if we could take them and he said yes, putting his hand over his eyes like he didn't see us.

Well you have to know Pam.  She is the Sweetest, Kindest, most Honest person EVER!  Somehow we convinced her to put the ketchup bottles in her purse.  As we were leaving the restaurant, Pam and I stayed behind to get a bag so the ketchup wouldn't spill all over her purse.  Our other friends went outside.

Now the real fun begins.  They see two policemen in uniform and somehow convince them to say something to Pam as she comes out of the restaurant.

"Maam, we need to look in your purse!"

Pam was so startled and she said "No, you don't have a search warrant!"

We had to tell her it was just a joke because she thought they were going to arrest her!

So that's my story and now every time we go out or any time one of us is at a restaurant with little ketchup bottles, we take a photo and send it to our criminal friend, Pam!

They even had these bottles on the cruise I just went on and I took photos of my son that I emailed to her from Alaska!

I guess it's one of those, "You had to be there stories," but she is going to LOVE this!  I'm having the Posse sign it today and I'm giving it to her tonight at our friend's going away party.

 

Thanks for sticking with me if you are still here!

I hope you like this wall hanging!
