Decoupage My Heart

Every once in a while I'm bitten by the decoupage bug. For the better part of the past week my fingers were encased in a glue-like sheath. It seemed once I started altering one thing I found oodles of other things around the house begging for a new outfit. It actually started with some new paper storage boxes...made out of an old cereal box. They'd just been sitting on my craft desk looking rather Corn-Poppish...so out came the trusty bottle of Mod Podge.

Happy with the results, my gaze suddenly came to rest on some red holographic, paper covered, heart-shaped boxes. I've had them for years and I have to admit, I've never really appreciated them.

Now, decoupage is not as complicated as it's rather hoity-toity name. I think I'll post a tutorial later this week. I was so into the project that I didn't take pictures of the process. I really want you all to know how very easy this technique is and how versatile it's applications can be.

Anyway, some decoupage glue, beautiful scrapbooking sheets and 10 super sticky fingers later, this is what I ended up with.

I'm sure to enjoy using these much more each year when I bring out the Valentine's decorations. I'm almost sad to put them away for the year. Better find something else to decoupage....QUICK!
