Hello! I am here, and have slipped away from our big family makeover (which I'll talk about later), to finally post Make it Magical Monday. We're a little behind! So, for the inspiration: I had seen this cute, cute, frame re-do by Shauna at The Reed Life.

I thought, hey, I have everything to make it how I want. But first, here's the before of our front porch.
There are some things I would LOVE to change, but we're just renting for now. Can we just let everyone know now, brass is OUT. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Now, I told myself that I had to get ONE important project done today. And I chose this frame.
I got the frame at a little thrift store for $3. I had the paint color ("Fresh Foliage" by Folk Art), the burlap, cardstock, blue ink ("Broken China" by Tim Holtz). It's pretty easy. I dry brush painted (do not get the brush wet and very lightly paint over the surface) the frame. Underneath, it was a matte black, which now stands out under the green. It looks really rustic, and the lettering adds a nice contrasting color.
Far away, here's how it looks.
I swept away the bird poo, cleaned the front door, and watered the flowers. I wish they were blooming for this shot, oh well. But, what a difference a few little touches add. The frame's not over-the-top magical, but if it makes you smile when you see it, it's magical.
