hi

i have been trying to upload scrapbook pages to the two peas website. it is a work in progress. charlie will help me when he gets home. but here is one from nate and sarah's wedding reception. there will be more...

finished!

it will be hung in zella's room this weekend! overall, i think it turned out pretty good. her wings are a little fat on the bottom...but i like it. i really like how it can be changed.
so my version cost me:
foam board $2.99
white spray paint .99
galvanized flashing 4 at .98
i already had the frame, pattered paper, buttons, and the magnets.
so my total cost was under $7 dollars, add in some tax and i made it for under $9.00!
pottery barn wanted $179.oo!!

we thought it was over priced also!
have a great weekend

more butterflies

before i added the foam board, i decided that i wanted the option of removing the foam board and changing it out for something on down the line... i can now change anything about this that i want to. i can change the foam board, i can change the pattern paper around the foam board, (the pink with white poka dots), and i can even re-spray paint the frame if i want to. so to do this, i added the galvanized flashing directly on the glass.

then i added some books to help it dry flat. this is what it looked like after

then i put magnets on the back of the foam board. so technically, it is just one big magnet (the foam board).

i will try to finish it up today or tomorrow. but it will pretty much end up like the picture in the last post. i want to add some crystals...

turning circles into butterflies

step one: steal someone else's idea...potterybarn kids catalogue page #12 (new issue, early winter 2009, dr. seuss edition)...
step two: spray paint hand-me-down (free) picture frame...

step three: measure and glue patterned paper to glass...

step four: lay down foam board...

step five: punch/cut different size circles from scrap pattern paper...

come back for the result...

i hope it will be a goodie!
