Laundry piles up in my laundry room like crazy…I think it’s the two almost “tweens” that I have, who like to change often and are lazy about putting clothes away…so somehow they end up in the dirty clothes hamper.  It’s really quite silly.

How that is related to scrapbooking, you ask?…Well, I knew when I got Elementary the Sept. Kenner Road kit and saw the Cosmo Cricket Fitting In paper and The Boyfriend Chipboard clothesline that I wanted to make a sign for my laundry room.

I, of course, love the vintage look and the Jillibean Soup corrugated letters  reminded me of the texture of the old laundry washing boards..with that same rippled look.

So, a laundry sign was born but not just any laundry sign…..but because my husband and I have a bit of a wicked sense of humor and laundry is such an arduous task, I decided to make a funny sign. I had saved the vintage flashcard from the kit for a special project, my word was “some”…so I worked that into my sign.

I have a collection of old clothespins, that really I have used quite often in crafting projects, they have come in quite handy.  I used a very cheap frame from Ikea, painted it black with a bit of chippy red…scraped it up a bit and sanded it smooth.

The rest is quite easy to figure out.

My husband thought it was quite funny but alas, nobody heeded my call and did my laundry…oh well, there is always tomorrow!
