I went to my local Home Depot and picked up this board, it was called a craft board it was around $5.00. The only bad thing about the board is that it is kind of rounded. So today my pictures are not sticking to good. I am gonna have to hot glue them down I am thinking.

I used Mod Podge, but first let me tell you that I have used it before but not in a big section as this was and I am also not a Mod Podge lover, even after this little hanging, I am still not a lover or Mod Podge, I like the look of it after it is done but I am a fast maker and this can not, repeat: CAN NOT, be done right a way. It takes time, you have to put a coat on the bottom wait so it sets a bit, than put your paper on. Make sure your paper is adhered all the way and dried. I used a Pampered chef rolling pin, yes, it was a small one and worked for me. I just decided to use it after the fact though. So as you can see my stuff has air pockets which you do not want, just take your time and it should not turn out like mine

.
You can see the shine after your Mod Podge dries. I like the finish look but you can also see the air pockets. In this picture you can see the frames that are not mod podged, I decided to go ahead and do them also because I wanted the glossy look.

After placing the solid backing color on I decided to mod podge that also. So yes I mod podge pretty much everything but the pictures. Had to keep the glossy look going through out the whole process right?

Here is the finished look. I added buttons, ribbon and alpha's.

Close ups for you because I was not too happy with the finished look on camera. My monkey blinded into the paper

too much.
