Mod Podge Paper to Wood Letters!!

To Mod Podge scrapbook paper to wood letters you’ll need:

Letters (any size), scrapbook paper (get colors that go well together and it looks best if you alternate with solids and patterned paper), pencil, good scissors, Mod Podge, and a sponge brush.

Put your letters in the order they will go and plan out the pattern you want the paper to go.

Trace your letter on front side of your paper with the letter face up. 

Cut it out.  It’s better to cut on the outer edge of the line and go back and trim some off later if you need to, rather than cut it too thin and have spots where the wood shows through.
Put some Mod Podge in a plastic bowl.  (You can find Mod Podge at any craft store.)
Put a thin layer of Mod Podge on the wood and the back side of the paper.  Flip the paper over and gently press it to the wood.  If some of it spills over the edge just wipe it off with a paper towel.  Let it dry for 15 minutes.

Put a thicker coat of Mod Podge on the top side of the paper and around the edges to get a good seal. Let it dry for another 15 minutes.  Then you can add embellishment like ribbon, buttons, flowers, etc.  These were just little letters so I didn’t add anything to them.

Attention Beauty Addicts: Sephora Revamps Beauty Insider Program..

Do you love beauty products? What about free gifts and advance access to sales? Or how about first dibs on new launches? Sephora's Beauty Insider program has it all—and was just revamped to make browsing and buying your favorite stuff easier and more fun. And did we mention the free stuff?

First, they’ve added a membership level: In addition to Beauty Insider (which is free to join) and Very Important Beauty Insider (reserved for those who spend $350 in a calendar year), there’s Very Important Beauty Insider Rouge, which is limited to those who shell out $1,000-plus in a year. Those big-spending VIPs get the usual benefits (birthday gifts, seasonal promotions, product rewards, members-only classes, advance access to sales and private shopping events) plus free shipping, unlimited access to the Beauty Studio, and exclusive Rouge-only events and surprise gifts.

There’s also a new Sephora to Go app for the iPhone and iPod Touch that lets members review purchases, read product reviews by scanning items in the store, and receive push notifications for new launches and trends.

To celebrate all this, Sephora is offering some pretty sweet incentives August 12 to 18. Beauty Insiders will receive double points on whatever they buy, VIB's will get triple, and VIB Rouge members will get quadruple—which can be transferred to friends and family, if you’re in a charitable mood. And a few will qualify for some pretty extravagant prizes, including a trip for two to Paris with Make Up For Ever, or the Marc Jacobs beauty collection—tucked away in a new fall 2013 Marc Jacobs handbag.

As A VIB i'm super excited about this thanks Sephora...
