My First Decopauge

I have been looking for ways to decorate on a budget and I have tons of old picture frames and stuff that's just really outdated and doesn't go with our decor now. After hours and hours of online searches for re-furbishing your household items I learned of the beautiful art of decoupage and canvases.

My inspiration... birds. Yes, birds. I used to hate birds as decor, reminded me of an old persons home. Sorry. But lately I have saw Lot's of really cute and neat items with birds on them. I am not a scrapper but fell in

LOVE
with this paper from Michael's.


And here's what I did with it...


It's OK to giggle, but please don't laugh. It's my first one. LOL! OK, I guess you can laugh. I completely disassembled the scrapbook paper, or as my husband said "I mutilated it". And put together this 8x10 that I will call {Deco Art} hee hee! It turned out OK I think, it's a little crooked and I have creases and bubbles that I didn't get out. But it's my first one and next time I know what to do different.

*Note To Self* Do NOT glue canvas to kitchen counter and don't answer cell phone with decoupage on finger's, finger's must be preyed from phone.

Decoupage, I {heart} you

I'm In Love...

Yes, of course with my husband... but I have a second love now. O.K. wait, let's see... I have five kids and three step kids, a cat and a husband so I guess it would be my 11th love?

Any who, you HAVE got to check out this blog, where has she been all my life?

{sigh}
If you like mod podge and recycling old things, then yes, you should peek in to see what she's doing.

Enjoy!
