Making your normal Pictures look christmasy -an easy fix tutorial

Season's Greetings Sweet Friends,

Can't believe we are already into Decemeber.....

boy, that week after Thanksgiving just flew by....

for me anyway!!   lol 

How about you??

How are you doing??  Are you 

running behind, ahead of schedule

or right on track???  

I am so happy to say we caught up a lot over the 

weekend.  So helpful having hubby home as it

is difficult to get a lot done when you are not

 suppose to bend over and stoop down.  lol

and all of a sudden It seems like I drop every-

thing I pick up, which is not the typical norm ......

Just gotta keep a sense of humor,  cause I am 

determined not to be drug to the pit over this 

back thing.

We were able to at least get the family and

dining room pretty much done and make it

homey enough for Megan's birthday celebration

on sunday.  So was very happy about that.

We all enjoyed it, as always.

Still gotta get our tree up, and lights outside,

hubby is on the ladder out there as I type.

I am taking a short break.  I have been work-

ing in the white living room,  and the guest

bath,  so am about done with both,  and

then have some finishing touches in the

family room,  probably mostly the tree,

Ohhhh. and gotta figure out something to do

 with the mantle yet, forgot about that!!  lol

Well, was christmasizing my pictures today,

and thought hey, maybe I should do a tutororial

for yall.  It is very easy and I do it on smaller

pictures.  

1. Decide what picture you would like to change,
 find a pretty christmas card you would like to use.

2. Choose a background paper,  this was actually

printed paper that I happened to have,  but you could

use any cardstock or scrapbooking paper, or even

wrapping paper, I would think.

3. Flip your paper over and roll up a piece of masking tape 
so it stick together, (like double stick tape) then stick it to
 the back of the paper, I just did one pc. at the top since the 
paper was thin, didn't want it to show up a lot,

but you can put the tape wherever you want, might need

to be on both ends,  if so I will find out later!!  lol

4. Center the paper and then stick it right on the glass.

5. Now take your pretty card or whatever pic you would like

to use and flip it over.............

and put a lil larger pc. of masking tape on the back of it.

and make sure you get it centered, then stick it to your

background paper or stock

6. Enjoy the new picture you have!

FYI:  I find the tape usually holds everything  fine........
since it is only up for a month or so,  and it pulls 
right off with no mess or stress!

7. Put it where you want it ...............and decorate to 
enhance it.......................

Here it is in it's place,  in our white living room.

Optional..................
You can roll up some scotch tape and put it inside the card too,

if you need the card to lay down or close (if it is a side opeing

card).  This one folds from the top down,  so didn't use any,

since I just got it in the mail yesterday!!  lol

Aren't they adorable lil angels......................

I did this one today too!

This went on our breakfront in the same room.

Had another picture there, so left it to cover a nail hole

and just leaned the new one against it, then decorated

the rest of the shelf.

 I am doing a lil bit of a vintage look in here,  it all started 

with Megan's table centerpiece.  Will show you the table

later this week or next week, lord willing!!  and some

peeks of the living room soon....................

Front view

 Have had this lil dove since 1976,  it is an Avon

ornament made out of  real silver, guess it would sure

be considered vintage since it is 36 years old.

side view

posterized affect!
