Paste Collage Inspiration

{Inspiration One}

I'm just going to come out and say that this first project didn't turn out exactly the way I envisioned. While standing in the check out line at Michael's (mourning my forgotten coupon), I spotted these rub-ons in the dollar bins:

Vintage chairs - one of my favorite things. I immediately thought of Pastesf's chair collection and grabbed a sheet thinking there must be something I can do with them.

I found some unused frames and scrapbook paper and went to work.

Overall, an easy project, but I should have put a little more thought into it before I started rubbing.

I rubbed the chairs directly onto the glass so that paper can easily be changed behind it to create a new look for a new room.
Not bad, but I wish there had been different styled chairs.




{Inspiration Two}

This next project I'm really excited about. They turned out so cute!
I combined these two things:

...and came up with something that is going to go perfectly in my daughter's dress up area.








All I need is two more frames and some yellow paint to complete the project!

These were so much fun to create and really easy. I hand drew and cut each shoe and embellishment (except for the flowers, which I owe to my Cricut), and then taped them onto the paper so I could change out the background if later I decided on white or a different color.

All I have to say is collage is my new friend and I'm definitely thinking some more projects may surface in the future! Can you just see adorable cupcakes and cute kitties?
