Shutter Display - Bright New Look & Awesome Sign

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!
