I finally found the time to use my Decor Elements. We are renters and our lease is up next summer. We want to stay here, but I just don't know what the house owner has in store for this house. Although Decor Elements are very affordable, I couldn't bare the thought of applying this to the wall only have to take it down in a year. So, I bought a large canvas board and applied it to that. I embellished it a bit and there you go! A neat wall hanging for the Stamp Workshop. My husband thinks it looks like a giant card on the wall. lol
I have this hanging on the column next to my supply wall. If you took the "tour" of my stamp room a few days ago, this wall hanging is on the column to your right as you go down into the Stamp Workshop. (If you want to see a crisper picture of my wall hanging, right click on the picture and view image.)
When trying to apply this image, it was a bit trickier that I thought it would be. In the directions it does say to take your time as detailed images could take longer. It was a bit frustrating, but after I got the hang of it, it was pretty easy.
So to spare all my readers the frustration, I have written a tutorial, along with pictures to help guide you along the way. Check it out here:

Michele - I'm so upset I didn't see your post before I put my create on my walls. I have my house for sale, and I went to Wal-Mart and couldn't find a frame or anything big enough to put the create on, so I just put it on the wall. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your idea - you can take it with you!! (I have my house for sale). Your Create looks wonderful - I love how you used the ribbon to hang it too - you should send it in to SU - this is an amazing idea!
