finishing touches on an older project

this is a french memo board that i made from a big old picture frame and canvas that my grandmother used to hang jewelry on.  i sprayed the frame (purple, of course), and covered the canvas with some cotton batting and pretty fabric.  then i stapled them to the back, and added the criss cross ribbons.  that is how the project sat for a while, and it was nice.  however, the pictures kept sliding down because the ribbon wasn't taut enough.  so i got some little square brads and this nifty little brad tool to punch through the layers with.  now it looks great and holds the pictures in place.
