ABC Friday~Sweet Baby Decor

Posted by Jen | ABC Friday, projects | Friday, May 30, 2008

Welcome to another installment of ABC {anything but a card} Friday. I {heart} making baby stuff. I go into the baby section of any and all stores to be inspired. What’s “funny” is that I wouldn’t consider myself a “baby person.” Don’t get me wrong, I love my own, but I don’t go all goo-goo when I see any lil’ darling. However, baby stuff…I go goo-goo for! Especially baby girl stuff. I wonder why in the world I am partial to girly girl stuff…LOL!

Yesterday I was sorting through all my alterables. When I say “all,” you can imagine me under a pile of tins, baskets, paper mache boxes and bags and anything else I can imagine will sit still long enough for me to alter. I pulled out this round paper mache wall hanging. Without getting out my ruler, I would say it’s about 6 inches in diameter. I used K & Co. paper, chipboard letters and stickers that I found at Michael’s {oh, how I miss Recollections!!}. The ribbon is Martha Stewart seam binding ribbon. I love this stuff and I love how perfect this color went with the K & Co. products I used.
The picture is of the project hanging from a door knob, but I think it would look great hanging on a wall, as well. Fortunately, I have a couple of friends that are expecting and this will easily find a new home. I’ll be back tomorrow for a “special edition” of the Sketch For You To Try, and don’t worry, it’s much easier than last week’s! Also, guess what Sunday is? Give up? It’s the first Sunday of the month, so Tony will be blogging here. {YAY!}
