I needed a spring theme decoration for my front door.  I decided to make one.  I pulled out my Sizzix Big Shot and used the Top Note die on some leftover cardboard covered with Whisper White cardstock.  I found some retired On Board chipboard letters that I covered in Designer Series Paper and adhered to the cardboard Top Notes.  I attached the cardboard Top Notes to the Bashful Blue 1" double-stitched grosgrain ribbon with silver brads.  I attached the ribbon to a silver piece of hodge podge hardware.  It was a sweet looking project. 

Then I noticed my recent box from Stampin' Up! with the new Summer Mini Catalog items in it.  Oh-la-la!  I could use the Smooch Spritz to shabby up my spring door hanger!  Please learn from my mistake, okay?  Use the Smooch Spritz sparingly!!!!!!  And hold it about ten inches away from your project.  Why?

Because I held it too close to my project and I used too dark of a Smooch Spritz color for my project.

Here is a close up of my too shabby chic project.  UGH!  I worked so hard on this project.   I still hung it on my door.  Now you know that I screw up projects.  But more important than that, you now know to use the right color of Smooch Spritz and to use it lightly!!!!  Or else, it goes W-I-L-D!
