Workin' With What Ya Got- A Personalized Birthday Sign

I have had this cute birthday scrapbook paper sitting in my craft area since last summer:


I have been wanting to create something with this for the past nine months.

So I found this frame one day in a drawer:




And this Dollar Tree frame I have created endless projects with:
and










Excuse the spray paint under the nails...story of my life.







Lovin' how its turnin' out so far......:)

Now go get some chalk and lets add the birthday girl's new age:





Ta-da!!!

And you can use this over and over.
                          Well, for a girl anyway but this would be so easy to make for a boy too.





Since I didn't have the prop for the back of this frame, I used a metal plate holder.




Happy Birthday!!


Cost breakdown:

- large frame- I got this years ago at our Walgreens and think I paid somewhere in the area of 3-4 dollars for it.


- smaller frame- Dollar Tree for a buck!

- spray paint- this color was RustOleum Berry Pink and it was free to me because bestie Melissa gave me all her spray paint when she was moving across the country. Thanks Lissma!!

- scrapbook paper- 30 cents at Hobby Lobby on sale last summer.

- chalkboard paint- again free thanks to Lissma!

Total I spent to create this:

$4.30!
And that was over the course of 10 years! :)
