Trying to find my inner creativity again

Amazing how a pile of this....

...turns into a creation like this!

Inspired by my aunt Heidi's scrapbook for my kids, I am searching (and finding) my inner creativity again! Thanks Heidi, I think that I just needed a good kick in the butt to get me started. I used to scrapbook before I had kids, but with this blog and the books that shutterfly creates for you with uploaded pictures, I just haven't been able to get excited about that. A few weeks ago I learned to make signs with my mother-in-law at church and that has been what I have been wanting to do lately. I ordered several different ones, and I thought they would have been done already (done enough meaning the boards were cut and the letters/sayings were printed), but no such luck! So I got my thinking cap on and discovered the wonderful world of "mod podge". It is my new best friend! I have been wanting to make a name plate of sorts for my classroom and it is finally finished! This took me lots of hours to do, but I had fun creating it, and I think that it really turned out nice! Anyone wants to know how to make, let me know, I took pictures of the whole process!
