Enjoy a wonderful tutorial from Diane's workshop on how to make an upcycled dresser using Baby 2 Bride. What an adorable piece!
This small set of drawers was painted a complimentary pink for the new classic release of Baby to Bride. First the knobs were carefully removed with pliers that had been wrapped with several layers of paper towel so as not to scratch or break the them.
Little pieces like this should have all surfaces covered. It's easy to forget the back sometimes but it really finishes it nicely when done. The back is covered with a blue diamond paper called 'From this Moment'.
The drawer cabinet is going to be covered with 'Sentimental Baby' in one piece that wraps around the sides. This pattern is made from several pieces of scrap paper and taped together. Then the pattern is carefully transferred to the paper. Take your time when cutting it out and adhering so you get it perfectly in place.
The drawer fronts are then adhered with the same paper and the knobs replaced.
The pink gingham paper which is on the reverse side of 'Sentimental Baby' is used on the top of the cabinet and a blue border from 'Birdy Baby Blues' is layered on top of it.
That same blue border is continued on the top and bottom of the cabinet. The drawers are put in place and the finished drawers are ready for the baby or a bride!
"Graphic 45 now offers the Deluxe Collection of Times Nouveau, the special, limited time re-release of our journey back to the Roaring Twenties. Rich colors, beautiful images, and glad rags take us back to this glorious era. Get this quick, this is sure to be a 'Hot Tomato!'"

Now, to wrap up this magnificent day, we have an incredible altered frame by Donna using Botanical Tea. This is so gorgeous!
"I altered a frame I bought in a thrift store, like a dollar store in the USA. Originally the color is gold with black stains. I primed the frame with white gesso, about 3 layers (drying after each layer first before painting new gesso). Then I brushed the frame with Mod Podge (matte) before adhering the fuzzy cut flowers. I glued the flower pieces with a glue gun and then brushed several layers of Mod Podge again. I also used Platinum stickles for a little bit of sparkle. I dabbed Mod Podge dimensional magic to the butterflies and monogram." ~Donna
Supply List:

I am SO excited about the re-release of your first two paper collections! I was new to scrapbooking when they first came out, so only bought few sheets of each. I have been kicking myself ever since! Now, thanks to you, I have another chance, and believe me, I won't miss them this time!!! Thank you for listening and reprinting these older papers. Many of us are dying to get our hands on them!
