Something completely different for me!

Hello friends.
WHOA!!! Shock horror!! Hubby's just tested the flippin' smoke alarms without telling me!!!
ARGHH! Nearly had a coronary!!
Phew, I've calmed down now...IDIOT!... Men!! LOL
Right back to the plot!  While I was wasting using time looking at things on Youtube, I happened to see a video for decoupaging a shelf thingy.
LOVED the papers so decided there and then that I wanted to do it too.
Went to see my best buddy and told her my plans.
Off we trotted to the craftshop and bought Mod Podge.
I already happened to have the Papermania tissue paper which I LOVE!!
Pam had a couple of Papermania boxes to play with ,so we did just that back at her house!
Now bear with me, 'coz this is my first attempt and it's all done after watching the YT video once!
HERE'S the video. 

Ta-DA!

 The gorgeous paper is from the 'Madame' Payraud' collection by Papermania.
It's a massive A3 sized sheet!
Now don't go rushing out to get it, 'coz it's all MINE, GERROFF!
Only kiddin'....not. LOL 
Right, I've got another project for this stuff I need to get on with.
Thanks for stopping by.
It's always lovely to 'see' you.

Oooh this is definitely FAB-U-LOUS Viv... and so different for you! Would have loved to have been there to play with the mod-plodge.... I remember having that first time around in about 2000... I was heavily into American crafts then and it was used lots to stiffen material to create fabulous bows on baskets and the like!

Big hugs
