by CraftyPaws | Jul 21, 2015 | Altered Items, Shabby Chic

Shabby Chic Wreath Name Sign

by CraftyPaws | May 28, 2015 | Altered Items, Banners, Shabby Chic

This project hits so many wonderful points for me. First, it is an upcycling project; I use a cardboard box for the base and old book pages to decoupage over it. Second, I got to use my Silhouette (a pricey crafty tool that I have not used nearly enough to justify...
