I am finally finished with my headboard!! Whoo hoo! I like the way it turned out because it matches with my new theme of black and white and vintage book pages. Momma mia isn't thrilled with the fleur de lis, she keeps asking me why I have swastik symbols on my headboard.(lol) I also finished up a bunch of craft projects that I thought I would share with you.

I love the way this little sign came out! I bought the plaque at the dollar store added some vintage book pages and coffee stained the emblem that I got from the sweet and generous Graphic Fairy, added a little ribbon and voila! I have a few more vintage paper projects I'm working on but luckily they are for Christmas, so I have some time! XoXo

I love vintage paper projects. I especially like your plaque and the soaps. Great ideas!

P.S. Do you have instructions on how you did the plaque? I tried to do some graphics with Mod Podge and it was a disaster.

Michelle,
I love everything!! Did you buy out a bookstore :-)
Great projects, they have that vintage appeal that I LOVE!
You should post your sign to Brag Monday at the Graphic Fairy.
