Stepping outside of the Box

I decided to do a Valentine home decor project.  My local craft store had a sale on wood letters so I purchased LOVE.  Since I have so many scraps of paper, I'm always trying to come up with ways to use the leftovers.  The letters were already painted white, so I decided just to decoupage on some paper.
I pulled a few pieces of scraps that coordinated well together, and started tracing and cutting. Next time I would not decoupage all the way around the letters.  Very time consuming.  But I love the end result which now sits on my mantel above our fireplace.
