My project for today is something that I have been wanting to do for years so thank you to Shannon for hosting this event! I created a make-up/cosmetic board. I am addicted to make-up, and make-up tutorials. There is just something about looking brighter, having sparkles or just feeling a bit better about yourself. So here we go...

I started out with a plain white magnetic dry erase board that I purchased at Walmart. I wanted something that was a good size but did not overpower my bedroom wall. Plus I wanted to still be able to use the erase part of the board for inspirational quotes or tracking. (I am currently trying to lose weight to take my niece to the NY Trapeze school. I am within 4 pounds of the weight limit. I can really use this space as a constant reminder why I am doing this and how close I really am!!) This is a 13x13.

Then, I glued on the most amazing sheet of purple scrapbooking paper I could find. I just love this. 

This is a better picture of the pretty swirls of glitter. So pretty!

Next, I added two vintage doilies that I got at an antique shop. They were a $1, how can you go wrong? I glued them slightly off center so the pretty lace edges would over hang.

Then, I made these beautiful flowers from Designs on Cloud 9. How awesome are these huh? The base is from the 'fancy flower' set then the rose on top is from the 'curly flower' set.

I added more amazing flowers that I created with the 'fancy flower' set. I have been making a ton of these flowers lately. I just love all the different shades of purples.

I added little deep purple roses with pearls in the centers just to tie the flowers all together. I also added ribbon and pearl loops just to dress it up a bit.

 

I hot glued a ribbon to the back of the board for hanging. This is the project completed before I added all my make-up pieces. 

 I glued heavy duty magnets that I purchased at Michael's Arts & Crafts to my cosmetics even my fake eyelashes from Mac. 

This is my make up table area. I just love how it looks. It matches perfectly with my white furniture and purple walls. My sister was here last week from out of town, she saw my board and said 'oh that would be perfect in my sewing room'. (I guess I know what she will be getting for Christmas.) So if make-up is not your thing, you can always make one of these for a different hobby or craft. Thanks so much for looking now onto your next stop http://pinkpolkadotscrapping.blogspot.com
