Dollar Store Makeover

I bought a bunch of these plaques from the dollar store the other day 

and they must have thought I was nuts! But I had a plan!

I brought them home and painted them to my hearts content...

Then I sanded up the edges and this beautiful red color popped through...I was super excited!

I added a cute little picture of my niece w/decoupage and I had some great little plaques 

for the family wall. I think these could make some cute gifts come Christmas.

                 

I can't decide if I like the blue or white better...what do you think? I think several of these would look very cute on a painted board or by themselves clustered on the wall. I wonder what else I can do with these...hmmmmm?

        ENJOY!
