I went to my friend's baby shower this weekend. She is having a sweet baby girl. I didn't get a picture of her but she is 30 weeks pregnant and is seriously, TEENY TINY. Ugh it makes me sick jealous realize she has gestational diabetes and has to stay on a very strict diet to keep up her health. Anyway, the shower was awesome and I would have taken pictures except that I forgot my camera, Cohen was being a terror typical one year old little boy who is in his rebellious phase, and we didn't stay for very long. She got some AWESOME gifts. I just love baby girl stuff and I wanted to buy everything in the store but I'm pretty broke so I made her a few cute things. This plaque is one of them.
I bought the original wood piece from Goodwill for $2. I spray painted it Ballet slipper pink, applied the vinyl I got from Shelley Smith's vinyl business Wonderfully wordy, and the decoupaged the scrapbook paper to the wood with Mod Podge. Ahhhh isn't it so cute?!
I really wanted to keep it for myself! But I stopped being selfish and gave it to my friend. She loved it and it's already hanging in her daughter's nursery!!!

Oh my goodness this is so cute and creative! Well done!
Way cute! I love doing projects, and wish I had a million hours a day to do them.
I was just going through the comments on my blog (which is seriously neglected lately) and realized you commented and asked me a question, and I feel so bad that I never answered you. I was outta town that week, and am guessing that I never got an e-mail notification, or more likely it is one of the VERY many unread in my inbox that I just skimmed through real quick.
Anyways, thanks for the sweet comments about Riley's nursery. And to answer your question, the chair in there is from Ikea. :o)
Once again, so sorry for not responding. I used to be so much better at this before the little guy came along. Hope you have a great week!
