After seeing this Tad Carpenter quote on Pinterest, I was inspired to find a way to incorporate this quote into my home. I did a little brainstorming, then decided to stamp the quote onto a pillow.
Although I did have to make a trip to Hobby Lobby to purchase some fabric. I had most of what I needed on hand. I tested the stamps out on some scrap fabric, but I felt they adhered best on muslin. Which btw, was great deal at 3.99 a yard!
Perfectly Imperfect.
*ETA an email response I received from Tad Carpenter-
that is great!
Thanks for using my quote.....beautiful work!
all the best

Brandi, your pillow is absolutely beautiful in both sentiment and style.
This is sooo amazing! Thanks for stopping by... Im your newest follower!
I would have never thought of stamping onto a pillow...and it turned out great! The best thing about it is it comes from the heart.
Hey brandi, for your laminate desk I would do a little test first, is it the sticker type laminate? if so then you can't stain it, but if it is possible to sand it down a little bit and it water soaks into it after that then I would say YES you can probably stain that :)
Brandi,
this turned out great.
I'll be honored for you to join our linking party every Wednesday at
