Our neighborhood/subdivision has a pretty big garage sale each year. While perusing the neighbors goods (!), we ran across this school desk. I've always wanted one of these and with a price tag of $15, I couldn't pass it up. Of course, the perfect paper for this is Graphic 45's An ABC Primer.
Not wanting to cover all the wood, I decided to cut and paste some
ABC Primer
to showcase those designs.
I got lazy and didn't even sand the desk before adhering all the papers with
Claudine Hellmuth Matte Medium.
I also used Matte Medium on top of the papers to seal them.
(Love that stuff!)
Little drawing books were added to the mix
along with a cigar box that will hold markers and crayons.
You should see what my Team Mate Tara did with a found rocking horse!

Graphic 45 blog and read all about it!
