Cute Home Decor

Because our house is not always spotlessly clean and tidy, I've always thought this little saying really cute:

Our house was clean yesterday, too bad you missed it.

So I finally made one for our house. :D

I started out with this board that I bought at the craft store, but didn't yet know what I wanted to do with it...just knew it was something I could do something with:

I painted it with a metallic mink craft paint and inked the edges with a dark gold ink pad.  I chose which papers to use, printed the saying on one of them, chalked the edges and decoupaged them onto the board:

A few months back I decoupaged some scrapbook paper designs to the back of some glass pebble, but ended up not using them, and they've been lying on my desk since then, so I thought it'd actually go well on here:

And then I bought the cutest little mini hats and decided to use one of 'em here - I attached a mini clothing peg to it, inked the one edge of the peg with dark brown ink pad for some colour, and hot glue'd the whole lot onto the board:

 And I added a cute twig heart too:

And my sis gave me some cute buttons for my b'day a while back - I finally found somewhere special to use them! :D  I just had to cut off the button holding thingies at the back (you know those half loops that you sew the buttons on with).  The one on the right is my favourite. :)

Now I just have to find somewhere to hang it up.  It think it turned out SO cute.  (of course I would though, I made it)  :P
