Wreath winner!

Yes -that's right! I won something again! I entered Honolulu's City and County wreath contest. I wasn't the grand prize winner, nor the 1st, 2ND or 3rd place winner-but I did win Judges choice in the adult category...and $25 is fine by me!
I purchased silk, tropical flowers, leaves, and a grapevine wreath from the Ben Franklin craft store.

Then I started shaping it into a circular shape...

I printed out vintage images from Hawaii in the 1930's and cut and decoupaged them onto chipboard...

Then I added Martha Stewart glitter around the edges-add some sparkle!


I added the images all around the wreath , the saying "Mele Kalikimaka" and a red cardinal.


Finished product with 31 images from around the island...

On the wall...
