Create - Cute little "Brag Board"

I have decided that when I am extremely busy with things, stressed, have a lot on my mind, etc I tend to get more projects done. This past week I have finished and almost finished quite a few things. Here's the first:



I found the vinyl on sale at Wonderfully Wordy and decided that I needed to "Create" something fun with it.  I took a board that I found at The Wood Connection in Salt Lake City (I love the beadboard on it) and decided to go from there.  I painted it white with purple borders.  I then distressed the edges a bit with green ink.  I know, not the normal color but it looks great with this!  While I was working on this I still needed to decide what I was going to use it for.  Why not a Cute Brag board!  I finished it off with clips I found at Michaels in the dollar bins and "Paula Deen" eggplant bird confettit.  I love them!


What a perfect spot to now display all of the beautiful artwork you have adorning your fridges right now.  (You know who you are...)

Thanks for stopping by...  Check back for more updates and projects soon...
