Scraproom Sign ~ Inking It Up Crazy Guest Designer

Hello my crafty friends!

Kassidy at Inking It Up Crazy is having a "Birthday Bash" this month and has invited me to be a Guest Designer and the theme she asked me to work with is "Craft Room Decor." As many of you know I have just recently been given my own craft room. (The baby now happily lives a cross the hall.) So this project is one I have been very excited about doing as I have no cute decor on my walls. Until now!!


For my sign I used a dresser drawer front from an old broken dresser we had. Before my husband threw it away I asked him if he would save all of the fronts and drawer pulls as I was sure I was going to need them someday. :) The saying was cut out in white vinyl and the cartridge I used was "Once Upon A Princess". The black, white, and silver paper are rectangles I cut with my paper trimmer and the scissors were cut from the "Simply Charmed" cartridge. Since the dresser had some paint chipping on the edges and was a little dented up I decided to make it kind of shabby chic and sanded all around the edges. Last I added some leopard print ribbon. I plan to hang it on the drawer pull that I saved but I'm painting my craft room purple tomorrow so I decided not to put another hole in the wall and instead just hung it up with a push pin. :)

I hope you enjoyed my project.

Now it is time to head over to Inking It Up Crazy so you can enter to win all the amazing prizes she has up for grabs. :)
