Father's Day Mantel + Paper Mantel Challenge Info!

Happy Mantel Monday, friends! Today's mantel is all about Father's Day. Because Father's Day is this coming weekend. Are you ready?? 

I'm going to be short and sweet with my mantel details, because I've got lots to tell you today. For this Father's Day Mantel, I chose to celebrate my hubby since he's the only father who will see my mantel this week. But, there are other amazing father's in our lives, just so we're all clear (love you Dad!).

The free printables added the perfect touch to my mantel and the thanks goes to (L-R) Homespun with Love and My Sister's Suitcase. Thanks for sharing your creations, ladies! 

Side note: I actually found the Subway Art Printable from a Pinterest search.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover it came from my friends over at Homespun with Love. Small, pinteresting world, don't you think??

Okay, on to other, exciting info...

Jenni Horne Studios

My name is Jenni Horne. I am an artist, art educator, Mother and Wife living an amazing creative life in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. Since childhood being creative has always played an important role. From sneaking time on Mother’s yellow sewing machine, writing poetry and scrapbooking to doodles on the church bulletin, imagination has served as a stepping stone to a life brimming with joy. Now I embrace these creative inspirations full-time while navigating the path of being a thriving artist. I consider myself a painter…although dabbling in sculpture, sewing, and jewelry making my heart very full. I love the role as guide when it applies to art making and nothing gives me more joy than to see other’s spread their wings and grab onto an idea I’ve planted. My motto for Jenni Horne Studios is to “scatter joy through paint….fabric…..metal”. It’s with these three mediums I invite you into the journey and create with me.

Corner of Plaid and Paisley





Hi, I am Ann from Corner of Plaid and Paisley. I will try to let you in on who I am; but I still have a hard time figuring that out sometimes! I like to think of myself as still evolving.  I have a wonderful husband of 29 years named Tom -he is my best friend.   We have been blessed with three great kids who I love dearly.  When my kids were growing up we were busy with dance, hockey, baseball , lacrosse and  I loved every minute of it!  Now they are all grown up and I really miss those days.  They are all wonderfully supportive of my ventures and I appreciate them for that!! I work full time hours at a part time job for Mattel  - every girl's dream job to grow up and still get to play with Barbie!  Even when I was little I was always making clothes for my dolls or furniture out of a box.  My mother is a fabulously talented sewer and I inherited her love for fabric.  In the past few years my interests have grown from fabric to paper and now to dishes too!  I just love prints, polkadots, plaids and paisleys- hence the blog name.  Other things I love:  my dog, chocolate, walking, ice cream - oh just  make that walking my dog to get chocolate ice cream - that should cover it all!! This blogging thing is very new to me and I am really enjoying it - so I hope you are enjoying it too. I can't wait to see what these lovely ladies come up with !!
