One last project and the decorating in the master bedroom is done! Here is the wall before. It is too high of a wall for the small picture above the headboard.
After putting the 119448 Happily Ever After Decor Elements on the wall, it is just what was needed to finish it off.
Seriously, the Decor Elements are inexpensive and so simple to apply. They look so professional and elegant. You would almost think I hired a professional painter!

A while ago, I made these scrapbook pages for the wall. I love these in this old window. But after looking at it for a few months, I realized it needed something more. Back to my craft cupboard and sure enough, I found the 117755 Flourishes Decor Elements just waiting to be used!
I'm doing the happy dance now!

When I was going through my craft cupboard, I found some more Decor Elements that I haven't used yet. I'm not hoarding them. I just haven't found exactly where or how I want to use them. I found the 116191 Inspiration Decor Elements in the chocolate color that I had gotten for free at some Stampin' Up! event. Last Saturday, I stopped at a garage sale. I saw these small beige plates and loved that they had some dimension on the edges. Aha!!!!! I knew right away what I was going to do with these!
This was so incredibly simple to do and was probably one of the fastest Decor Elements projects I've done so far. I thought about using plate hangers and putting these on the wall, but that really wasn't what I had in mind. I had bought a red narrow shelf from a thrift store a long time ago and it was stashed in the garage. I was crossing my fingers and saying a little prayer that the shelf was long enough.
It was just the perfect length for the four plates! I'm SO pleased with this project. It will look even better when the wall gets painted a darker color!

In all honesty, I don't use my 111550 Sock Monkey stamp set as much as I thought I would. It's a fun stamp set to use, whether you color it in traditional sock money colors or in nontraditional colors. My downline, Julianne, made this creative birthday card.
I like how the hat and balloon are cut out. The balloon has dimensionals behind it. What's cool about this card is it is a gift card or money holder!
Isn't Julianne clever? This is a very unique birthday card! Thanks Julianne for the cute and practical card!

When I first saw the 115223 Medallion stamp, I wanted it. I liked the uniqueness of a round background stamp vs. the rectangle background stamps. This is a great stamp to use on scrapbook pages to add subtle interest without overtaking the page. My downline, Liz, made this striking card using this stamp.
The Old Olive and Chocolate Chip colors look so well together. I like how she punched out the center and attached it with a brad and dimensionals. The Medallion stamp is good for both feminine and masculine cards! Thanks Liz for sharing your creativity.
