What To Do… with Paint Chips!

Another round of WEDNESDAY’S WHAT TO DO…
I recently posted a paint chip clock and a paint chip Easter garland in other posts and then started to wonder what other fun projects people are using these free little swatches for!

I think I liked everything of yours too (but who knows) and I’m super-flattered that you like my blog since you’re a fancy graphic design professional and I just put together some clip art and said “ta da” because I was sick of messing with it! : )April 15, 2011 – 2:56 pmReplyCancel
