I love shutters, I just wish I could come up with
something creative to do with them.
For the longest time, this is how
they looked in my craft room.
I love the yellow, I love the lanterns
but something just isn’t flowing.
Perhaps it’s those ugly orang-ish candles
in the lanterns for a start!
I gave the shutters a fresh & brighter coat
of yellow paint. I also cut out a little
banner from scrapbooking paper and glued
it to some bakers twine and draped it across the shutters.
And I painted those aweful candles.
They were just for display anyways, I wasn’t going to
spark them up so I slathered it on, nice and
thick - wax is hard to cover with paint!
And now for the “AWESOME ” Sign!
I started with a ceramic floor tile,
painted it a pastel turquoise.
The best part is that I bought a Silhouette!
Hooray for me!
So I got to work and cut out the words on cardstock,
and placed it on the now dry tile
I painted the first 4 words grey.
And the AWESOME a variety of pretty pastels.
Now here’s the new look!
Bright & Beautiful
I may give this to my super daughter
for her room because
she is AWESOME !
Make sure you are all AWESOME today,
and everyday!
This is well…awesome! So cute, love the pastels!
