One of my favorite projects of past was the Ballard inspired French document. The CSI Project is having a Mod Podge challenge and I have added this project to the competition. Amy from Mod Podge Rocks is the guest judge this week and you have to check out all the great projects she does with Mod Podge.
This was my inspiration for the project.
My project cost $422.75 less than the original! You can see how I made this along with a cost breakdown here.
I love how it turned out!
Thanks to The CSI Project for hosting this competition. Please drop by to see all the creative projects using
Mod Podge.
This was a fabulous project, Sherry! I just reread that post and loved it all over again! You did such a great job on this.
Sherry,
I honestly kept scrolling and looking for your project. I thought your project was done by Ballard. No kidding, it is better than the inspiration piece.
I would pay big $$$ to have this. Beautiful and interesting!!!! I LOVE IT! Kudos to you, my friend!!!!
Thanks for the instuctions… I'm off to see them now. I jst might have to copy this. You know what they say, imitation is the best form of flattery!
Thanks!
Yvonne
wonderful project! definitely worth reposting!
Sherry, I love that and the vignette below it, too. So pretty and so me.
Everything about this is wonderful. Saw you at CSI.
I know I gush a lot when I leave you comments but it is just because I am so impressed with your ideas and talent! My goodness that is so beautiful! Can't wait to look through the instructions.

Wonderful project! Clever and simple and simply stunning. Plus $400+ cheaper AND custom.

I am SO impressed! And it looks so very do-able! Thanks for your sweet comment on my post, but your house is the fun one to see because of how clever and thrifty you are! Love it!
Wow. That is so cute. And so much more reasonable than the Ballard's one. I love how you burnt the edges. Very nice vignette under the sign also.
Ballard has nothing on your girl! I love how you did this project with just a few items and saved hundreds of dollars! Looks good on the wall too! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Sherry,
I'm so excited to learn how you did this! It's beautiful and prettier than Ballards. They do have a wonderful script fabric that I've been thinking about but it's priced reasonably.
I'm going to look at your tutorial.
hugs

This is just gorgeous. I love how you made it look so antique. Great vision and creativity. I am also still drooling over your table and all of the fabulous accessories you have in your previous post. I just love it. Stunning. Hugs, Marty

I meant to leave a comment about this when I was here a couple of days ago. This is STUNNING! I have marked it so I can come back to it. I am going to try my best to do this. I think I will also do a letter I have that is from my grandmother to her mother and it is about my father. She even traced his little hand. Thank you so much for sharing all that you do.
Joyfully,
