One day while I was wondering through Hobby Lobby, as I do EVERY TIME I am there. I headed over to where I know they have clearance items...I found a vinyl sticker that says "Real love stories never have endings". Oh my goodness how perfect for my master bedroom...above the bed I share with my love. So for a small price of around $5.00 I purchased the sticker...but wait we're moving (purchased it back in the early part of this year), so why would I put this sticker on my wall...we all know that just because it says removable doesn't mean that it comes off easily or that it would be "re-usable" after it was removed. Well shoot...what to do? Then the light bulb came on...
I can put it on something that I can take with me when I move...Yeah perfect!! So I thought about what I wanted to put it on and when I got Hobby Lobby's email on Sunday morning...you know the one that shows you the ad for the week...There it was...The posters were on sale...50% off!!! So off I went to find a poster that I liked and one that I could put this sticker on!!! Here is the one I picked...
Then I cut apart the sticker to separate the words so that I could place them where I wanted them on my poster...
After playing around with the placement of the words, I found the perfect layout! With the perfect layout I began to rub the sticker on the poster...okay now how am I going to keep this poster from getting dusty and eventually looking...well dirty and gross? Because the frame I purchased (on clearance at Hobby Lobby) doesn't have any glass nor does it have a back??? Now what??? Hummm....
Here came the light bulb again, you know the one that comes on in cartoons when the character gets a brilliant idea?!!! Modge Podge...I will Modge Podge the poster to the cardboard backer that it comes with when you buy it and I will Modge Podge over the top to help keep the sticker on the poster and to protect the poster from getting dirty and gross!!!!
Here is the finished product...I like it!! My only complaint is that because I Modge Podged it to the cardboard it got some wrinkles in it that I was not able to remove...but other than that I am happy with it and I can move it where ever God my send us!!!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my latest creation...Hope you enjoyed it and that it has inspired you to create something similar of your own!!!

I looked really closely and from here you can't see a single wrinkle. It looks great. You'd probably do well with interior decorating. Especially for people like me who are clueless but know what they like when they see it. LOL
