Talk about trying on new shoes.
This is my attempt at Shabby Chic.
Be sweet and kind, ok? ;)
I was TERRIFIED....but took a deep breath and dove right in.
I DID enjoy the sanding and sponging...that was fun.
I think I found the right sanding technique that didn't RIP the paper apart.
I also got to bring out my pretty dies.
These challenges helped me take the shabby plunge:
Thanks for being sweet and stopping by. ;)
