~MOD PODGE MONDAY~








Hello and Happy Monday everyone...Well here we are at a brand new week...I hope all of you had a Great weekend...What did you do anything fun like shopping or hitting the last of the season's Yard sales...Now we all like to start off our week by joining in with Susan at " Between Naps on The porch" for met Monday... And Rhoda at " Southern Hospitlality"


I love to decoupage and I love My Grandson Josh and his wife Heather and their sweet baby Kyra...Now as you know I just went to these kids wedding 3 weeks ago...And I wanted to do something special for them to remember their special day...



I printed these photos on plain paper...as I don't want to ruin the originals...





Now I buy every clear glass plate I can find at Hospice thrift store they are about a quarter each...



Oh I love these little sponge brushes... Oh and I love Mod Podge...this you can get at any craft store or Wal-mart...



I lay out the picture on the bottom of the plate to adjust it where I want it and then I cut it out...






Now you can see what I have here...I turn the plate upside down...Add some Mod Podge to the front of the picture...




Stick it down and let it dry... Be sure and press this down good so you don't have bubbles in it...I just use the outside of my Hand for this...



I cut a square of wedding gift wrapping paper... I have also used fabric to do this stage with...anything that you like and think is pretty will work...



I then Mod podge the front of the paper and add it to the back of the plate...After this dries I cut around it...Mod podge the back one more time to make sure all the edges are glued down..




Now this is the finished picture...its still not dry yet but was in a hurry to get my post done ha ha!! That cloudy look will go away when its completely dry... I still have a few more to make for these kids...also this makes a great wedding gift to take the bride and groom wedding invitation and sweet little gift for a new baby annuocement...You can add so many little things to the front of the plate...with all the great scrapbook stuff out there... Hope I didn't bore you guys too much today...


Now Please go by and see Susan And Rhoda..I'm heading that way myself...


May all of you have a great week...I know I sure am going to try...Just having one more day to feel so Blessed is a great week for me...


Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
