Seeing Shelves

I get a thrill from seeing a shelf with all the trinkets, treasures, and projects that have come into one display that looks perfectly put together. Does anyone out there in cyberland get joy out of such a simple thing? I decided that there possibly could be so I would share two of my shelf displays with you.

Because I get such a thrill out of shelves and displays I often change them seasonally so this was the summer shelf look. I just wanted something fresh, clean and simple I found the plates at a thrift store for .50 cents, the pot for 1.00, and was given the ivy, candles, and ribbon. I say I ended up doing pretty good.

This one is also from the summer.I found some things my mom wasn't using in a box down in the basement and then put it together with some things I had laying around. I ended up really liking how it ended up turning out.

Picture Perfect Display

I had this really barnwood frame just 'hangin' out in a closet and really thought it needed to be out of the closet and on the wall. This is what I did, first I found some chunky ribbon and then pinned it to the frame. Next I got some clothpins and glued some scrapbook paper to them, then clipped the clothespins to the ribbon and found some cute bees that were just 'hangin' out to. Barnwood frame+ chunky ribbon+bees+clothespins=Picture Perfect Display

Drab to Fab Magnets

I don't know about you, but every time I get a new phone book there is a magnet attached to it. As much as that is interesting I am not going to put an ugly business advertisement on my fridge, but I would put cute pictures of family up. Where am I going with this you may ask instead of throwing those magnets away combine family pictures and ugly magnets and make something drab turn to fab.

First find some cute scrapbook paper and trace around the magnet

Second cut it out and decoupage it to the magnet.

Third cut out the picture and glue that also (I used a Kodak picture machine and chose the mini print option to make smaller photo sizes)

Fourth embellish as you would like

Fifth place on fridge and enjoy a fabulous magnet that cost hardely anything.

No I don't have a square for a head but I am just a little bit paranoid
