Color! But Too Much Color?

First of all, I have to say, this blogging thing is fun!  Thank you to all of you who have made me feel so welcome here!

I was looking over my posts so far, and noticed that all the photos contained either black, white or yellow.  Predictable am I?  Yep!  But I thought I would break the color barrier a little bit by sharing this project.

With the new baby coming, I have started to think about changing Nina's room from "baby" to "little girl" (sniff).  I thought these canvases would be a nice addition.  I recently found Kristin's blog, and this post and tutorial inspired me to try Mod Podge, even though I had never heard of it!  Turns out it is pretty fun-and messy-to work with!

So you can see I was copying Kristin's animal theme, and to do that I had to go online to find some stencils that worked.  No way I am talented enough to draw those babies freehand!

I found a website that had simple stencils, printed them out and then had to use my husband's printer to minimize them so that they would be the right size for my canvases.  (My husband works from home and wasn't at all annoyed that I was invading his work space in the middle of the work day...)

I think the pig is my favorite!  Anyway, then I just traced and cut out the shapes onto scrapbook paper, slapped some Mod Podge on there, and that's it!  The letters were actually stickers I found in the scrapbooking section of Michaels, so that saved me some time not having to cut those out!

Do you like them?  I love the style, but I wonder if the colors are a little, I don't know, psychedelic or something for a sweet and feminine little girl's room?  I kind of went crazy with the scrapbook paper, I was overwhelmed with all the choices and wanted one of everything!
