Paper adds Pizzazz to Plain Pictures

Before:
After:


I purchased these two watercolors at the Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival in Fairhope, AL years ago from an artist out of Mississippi. I put them in some understated, basic frames with white mats, which makes for a nice clean look, but I've never felt satisfied about them. So this past week I bought some fun paper and wrapped the plain ole' mats, and voila! Zey are extraordinary! I think it is just what they needed. And if I get tired of that paper, I can redo it in a snap. I love quick, easy, cheap makeovers.

LOVE it! There are so many uses for cute scrapbook paper! And I, too, love how cheap it is.
