Printables Revisited (and possibly a Picnik substitute)

We all know how much I L-O-V-E Goodwill. There's nothing better than finding a great deal and turning it into something magnificent and unique!

Last summer I found this great mirror for Lo's room. It's plastic. It was cream, dirty and gross. I love seeing beyond the disgust. One can of spray paint and a few fabric butterflies leftover from a mobile that was tangled beyond repair, and I had the perfect piece for above the World's Ugliest Dresser!

Personally I think I have the best luck at Goodwill when I'm not really looking for anything specific. It's not like you can walk in there with a shopping list and leave with everything crossed off. That's why I was overjoyed when I saw this frame last month.

Hell-O! It matches the mirror perfectly!!! It was Kismet! It too was gross, dirty and begging for a coat of spray paint! It was also PERFECT for the printable I made for Lo's room.

I am beyond excited with how it turned out. I add the last of the fabric butterflies and used scrapbook paper as the "matting" (I just placed the photo over the paper and it looks like a high-end matting). 

It was the perfect addition to her room and I love how the mirror and photo coordinate with each other.

Little by little her room is coming together and we are both excited!

Happy Valentine's Day!

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Picnik my fav photo editing and printable making site will be shutting down in April. They are offering Google+ as an alternative. I don't know much about Google+, but I don't think it's something that I'm going try. It's more of a network (you have "friends" you "share" things) rather than a site for editing pictures. Yesterday Cheri over at I Am Momma, Hear Me Roar blogged about a great alternative and personally think it's a great substitute. She did a very thorough evaluation and comparison.
