And now, I'm sharing a little home decor project with you today:

This project starts with dollar store frames, and the GORGEOUS Paper House Colorways Rouge and Gatsby collections.  I added the silk look paper from the Rouge collection to the frames:

Next, I added a piece of the Gatsby Fireworks paper with a strip of black cardstock down the center.  I used chipboard letters I had, painted them, and stamped them with a script stamp using Black Tuxedo Memento Ink:

The letters were glued to the center strip, I added some rhinestones, and then tied the frames together with ribbon, and added some bells for a finishing touch.

Here's a closer look:

I'm so excited to hang this piece in my home this holiday season!

Page Maps and Colorways!

For the month of October, the Paper House team got to play along with the sketches over at Page Maps.  I really enjoyed playing with the sketch and making it my own.  I used the inspiration and turned it into a bookshelf full of inspiration:

Believe it or not....my "books" are created with a piece of paper that looks like doors....

I cut it apart and added Paper House Sculpted Puffy Stickers to create the titles.  The background papers are the new gorgeous Colorways collections (Rouge and Gatsby).   There are more details over on the Paper House Blog HERE.
