E♥GHt is GrE♥T!

Since it's my 8th anniversary {ps: BIG thanks to all you sweet well wishers!!} AND it's still the month of LVe, I thought it'd be appropriate for yet more romantic ideas.  I designed the owl plaque in honor of Nie for my swap group's goodie basket {if you don't read Nie, you should start..she just had surgery again for her burn recovery, sad yet very, very inspiring!}
<---These blocks are just plain FuN & more importantly EaSy!  They took me literally 20 minutes, start to finish and they were FREE since I had everything on hand. 

Super fast directions: 1) Cut scrap 2x4's, {mine are 3x5 and 3x3}, quickly sand.  2) Paint 2 blocks cream {acrylic paint}, paint the other 2 red.  Distress with black paint *optional* {or sand, whatever you're in the mood for}.  3) Apply vinyl or stencil or free hand.  4) Glue flower with hot glue gun & add jewel as embellishment.  5)Badda~bing~done!
