It is Tuesday so that means it is time to link up with the Too Cute Tuesday Linky Par-tay over at Funky Polkadot Giraffe
I happen to be a person that LOVES winter, I really love a good snowstorm and staying in. However, as with everyone else, by this time of year I am ready for Spring. As I slowly begin to take down our Valentine's Day decorations, I am getting ready for spring - maybe a bit early, however I am ready. What became a potential project flop was readily fixed and saved after a good nights sleep. I had originally painted these 6x12 boards a pretty yellow, Lemon Ice, from Lowes. I then cut the lettering and pictures out on white vinyl using my Silhouette. This is where it went bad, when I hung them up there was no contrast between the yellow and the white - you could not see the writing at all! I debated what to do, had a brownie and went to bed.
In the morning, I decided to try and spray paint over it and then pull off the vinyl - kind of like a stencil. It worked! This was not the easiest job, it was 20 out and my husband has forbidden me to spray paint in the basement again! So, I was outside, I have never sprayed anything so fast in my life. Here it is!
The empty glass bowl was a lucky find of mine at Pat Catan's the other day - $3.99. I am on the quest to find something to put in it, the main problem is I do not know what I want! My next project is a spring subway art. I ditched the yellow paint and already found a mossy green for a large 18x24 board. I think I have everything I want decided on and I plan to cut it all out and place it this weekend.

Love those! I love pink/yellow color combos. I'm definitely ready for spring too. Winter was okay, and then it snowed and got super freezing cool and then I was over it. :)
I love them! It worked out perfectly.
