Look what's hanging on the wall in my downline, Denise W's house?  119409 (small, in black) "Do Good, Be Kind" decor elements for $6.95.  Denise put it in a black frame, but didn't put a backing on it.  It is very striking to see in person.

One of my downline, Denise W., surprised me with this personalized water bottle.  She used the 114337 Chocolate Decor’ Elements Sheets in the Sizzix Big Shot to make the flower and the letters.  She added the button which was adhered with Crystal Effects.  The vinyl personalization is perfect on this water bottle because it is hand washable, so the personalization won’t come off.  Thanks Denise!  I LOVE IT!

For me, there is nothing like an upcoming event to light a fire under me to complete unfinished projects.  We had my hubby's family over on Palm Sunday for an early Easter celebration.  I've had these two Definitely Decorative rub-on's and the frames in my closet for a while.

Supplies:

119427 Our Attitude Toward Life-Black (9 3/4" x 7 1/8") $15.95

Retired Designer Series Paper

116155 Laundry-Black (8 1/4" x 9")  $8.95

Retired Designer Series Paper

These are so easy to make.  First, I cleaned the glass and applied the Definitely Decorative rub-on to the glass.  Then I put the Designer Series Paper inside the frame.

Here are two Definitely Decorative Decor Elements projects my daughter recently did.

She put the Chalkboard Decorative Sign above their telephone.  It is available in three sizes:

119664 Decorative Sign 13 3/4" x 15 3/4"  $14.95

119665 Decorative Sign 17 7/8" x 20 7/8"  $18.95

119666 Decorative Sign 23 1/2" x 26 1/2"  $29.95

Use any chalk to write on the image.  Clean using a chalkboard eraser or a damp cloth.

She adhered "Our Attitude Toward Life" Decor Element on the glass part of a gold frame.  Because of the reflection on the bottom of this frame, I don’t know if you can see that she added some brown rub-on’s also to the glass part of the frame.  This looks very striking on her dark blue wall.

This Decor Element is available in five colors:  black, basic gray, chocolate, kraft and white.  It also comes in four sizes:

9 3/4" x 7 1/8"  $15.95

13" x 9 3/8"      $17.95

17 3/4" x 12 3/4"  $19.95

25 7/8" x 18 5/8"  $21.95

Last Friday, my daughter came over to help put up the Tres’ Chic Definitely Decorative wall art.   It’s all my daughter’s fault that I bought this.  She walked into our house one day and said that the Tres’ Chic wall art would look awesome in this opening above the stairs.  I thought about it and realized that she was absolutely right.

I bought the Tres’ Chic in black, medium-sized (27 3/8" x 53 1/2") #119541.  The Tres’ Chic wall art can be purchased in 4 sizes and 5 different colors.  Contact me if you want more information about ordering it.

Here is the blank wall opening that was recently painted.  Most people put a painting or large floral arrangement in these openings.  Since I don’t like to do what most people do with decorating, I was excited to try something different.

I am afraid of heights and try to avoid ladders.  My daughter doesn’t really like heights either.  She really didn’t like standing on a ladder over a staircase, but she was a trooper, and did it.  The Tres’ Chic wall art comes in about 8 numbered pieces.  Each piece has "x’s" where you line up the pieces so they are straight.  The directions said it would take around 1-2 hours to put this up.  It took us about 1 1/2 hours, including interruptions from the grand girls.

We were both so excited when she got the first word done! 

Here is Melanie’s glowing face with the finished project.  We were worried that all the words weren’t going to fit, but they did! 

Then my "interior decorator", that would be Melanie, said I should get black candlesticks with red candles and put on either side of the Tres’ Chic wall art.  All I have is my mother-in-law’s crystal candlesticks.  So you know I’ll be on the hunt for black candlesticks.  She was right–again!  I value her opinion on alot of things, including decorating!  Everyone who comes to the house, now stops and looks up at the Tres’ Chic wall art, and have glowing comments about it.  I LOVE IT!!!
