Clip art

That is what this is. Made from scrapbook paper, twine, a small wood plaque, and clip art.



It hangs in my laundry room. I wish the rest of the room looked this pretty. Instead there are piles of laundry to be done which I will take care of this weekend.



I got the clip art from a link Kimba mentioned last week. Then I played with the color on Picasa to make it brown instead of black. I cut a piece of scrapbook paper down to 81/2 by 11 then printed my nest. First I did several trials on plain copy paper so that I could get the right size for this small plaque. I used Mod Podge to adhere it. The holes were already there all I did was add the twine.

Very cute! I wish I had a laundry room...mine is in the garage! Yuck! I'll have to check out that link from Kimba. I see I'm also going to have to buy ink for my printer!

How pretty. Sounds easy, maybe I'll have to try this. I really need some cute things for my kitchen. Roosters maybe!?

Here I am playing catch up again. I really like your dishes. I've seen them while thrifting and loved them, but I've never seen a whole set. You're a lucky lady!
I love your clip art. Sooo cute. And so are your painted pumpkins. Ohhh, I envy you finding that sweet little scale! I've wanted to find one for a long time. I've seen a few, but they're either ugly or somebody gets it just before I do.
I can relate to your experience with your daughter's teachers. I always feel like I'm being judged on my mothering skills when I have to meet with a teacher. What is that about us?
