my first new year project

Hello.  My new year resolution for 2012 was to do something in each magazine that i have.  this could take a while,as i have plenty.  I was looking for something to read and i found an issue of Flea Market Style.  Hey, i love flea markets, so i thought i would read it.  Loved the magazine,but couldn't figure out what to do, lots of neat ideas,but a lot of the projects seemed to use things i wouldn't be able to find.  there was a project using a canvas, and a advertising sign from a wooden crate.  they were cute, but i knew i wouldn't get the crate.  I had an idea, i could use the canvas ( i already had one painted black) and a black and white photo.  We were in north carolina and i had taken this cool photo of  some old gas pumps.  i could use that. the black and white photo didnt look good on the black background. so i added a border of white. i have to say that i like the look, and am already thinking of other photos that i could use.   sorry about the pictures,  i cant seem to get them where they should be. but i hope that you get the idea of what i am talking about.

Blessings,Karen
