From old chair to Christmas Gift

I was going to post this right after Christmas BUT my 40 year old mind simply saved the thought for later. It seems to be doing that a lot lately. Can't wait to see what my 50 year old mind will do.

Ok, on to happier thoughts....
This was a gift for our Aunt on Christmas. My Mother and Father In-Law purchased this old chair and painted it black. They brought to me to decorate and this is what it turned out to be.

I used all acrylic paint with a clear spray finish. Wish I had a picture of the before to share with you. Since I loved doing this project I plan to do more things like this in the near future, so I will definitely get before shots for you then.

So, before I get to my card I have to come clean about my latest addiction. I am completely hooked on Pinterest!! If you haven't taken this site for a test drive yet, you should definitely give it a whirl. I have seen so many wonderful Christmas cards and decorations. I have literally spent hours just gazing at some wonderful projects, created by some amazing crafters. I created this card using many of my favorites on Pinterest as my inspiration.

I used the DCWV "Homemade Christmas" Stack for this card. I think it is my favorite Christmas stack so far. This card was super simple to make. I hand cut the strips, star, and presents from images on the paper. SOOOO super easy. I added the 'Believe' rubons around the tree. I love the way it turned out. I am thinking of keeping it for myself instead of giving it to anyone. It would look so awesome in a shadow box or frame and used as decor. Well, while I'm trying to decide what to do with it, you can check out my blog candy.....

3 Chipboard albums in various Christmas shapes.
2 Christmas themed rubber stamps
1 bottle of Green Glitter Glue
