be YOU tiful

oh. pinterest. how did i live without you so long? it's like i literally never have to have another creative thought again...


loved this.
HAD to recreate it...


I had this old frame..already painted white and pink....and i tried to pull a mandi and age the glass....
(the only time it's cool to look old)
but i did it  a girl and a glue gun way...aka..super easy and lazy.

i sprayed it with krylon's looking glass...
a few coats...then i took a paper towel and rubbed it away in some spots......

(my husband literally walked into at this point and said, "you aren't her" (meaning mandi)
man, he is supportive.

anyways...i layed some gray houndstooth behind it..

.(and added some rosettes cause i've got hair crap coming out my ears.....still)
 and i really like it.
and i really like that i didnt have to wear protective gloves and use paint thinner or any of that nonsense...



jumped on the scal and designed the saying...
and cut it out of pink expressions vinyl....

and the back:





whoops.
