more life is sweet

I'm linking up another project over at Paper Issues for their Life is Sweet party.

For this project I painted an unfinished wooden plaque light blue and then added chocolate brown stripes.

Banners are a favorite of mine right now, so this project simply could not be complete without a few of those. Buttons are another obsession -- these are antique buttons that I scored at a great little shop on Main St.

Crafty Secrets has some wonderful vintage images. The little girl and cupcake are cut from one of their Heartwarming Vintage sheets. I made the crown out of some old Sassafras papers, a Prima flower, and puffy little circle sticker. The whole thing was spritzed with some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and protected with Mod Podge. I finished off the project with some seam binding that I dyed to match the rest of the creation.

There are more than 100 projects linked up at this party so far! You should join in on the fun!

Here are a few more of my favorites:
