I found this picture at a garage sale for $2. It was pretty cute before, but not my style. I have a certain look I'm slowly trying to achieve throughout my house. Lots of white, like a clean slate, with LOTS of punches of color.

Here's what I did with it:

I'm so happy with the way it turned out. I used some fabric scraps (I hold on to every last piece!)

I got the tutorial from the wonderful blog,
Happy Together.

And because I know y'all are nosy, like me, I hung it here in one of the hallways, above some family collages.

Here's a couple more pic's of the hallway.
(I need/want to make something to go above the mirror.)

I love red and turquoise together.
I made this a long time ago, but still love it a lot.

Now that your here, DON'T forget about the frame give-away. It ends at 12 tonite.
Also, I'm doing a give-away over at Joy's Hope, which I am so honored to do. Love her! I'm giving away 3 prints and a coloring book, so go over there to sign up.

Happy Sunday friends!

Love that project...adorable way to use up scraps. Now maybe I won't feel so guilty for saving it all!
I think this is a super cute idea (and big improvement!)
Amazing how you take nothing and make something!
I love what you did with that bargain frame!
I stopped by from Joy's Hope. Love your artwork!
I absolutely LOVE the heart with wings but I have to say that I have admired your work for awhile now. You have an amazing eye for collage and a gift with color.
Please throw my name in the hat for your giveaway!
