I printed out my list of 35 things I needed to do....but that didn't seem like enough. I went to my wood stash,

and picked out a piece that I could use as a display board. this one even had pre-drilled holes in it.

I used my walnut ink to add a darker tint.


I sprayed it with both colors,

and used my foam brush to smooth in the color.



I let it dry as much at it could and used a napkin to run in the stain.
Like with many of my projects, I start and let the creative process take over. With this particular project, I could have skipped the staining. But it was fun to do and I'll probably try it on others projects in the future.
Back to my project. I Mod Podged my goals into the center of the board.


I ripped some scrapbook papers into strips and glued those onto the board.


But I wasn't done yet. I pulled my paint out and deluded it with water.

I used another foam brush and went over the entire surface, wiping off the excess.

I added mod podge to the entire surface.
Now I've just got to hang it.



And the winner of the My Memories giveaway....
