Lissie's room is DONE!!

LissaBelle's room is complete!  My dear sister came this weekend to help me get it done.  Thank goodness for her, because I would have never finished without her help.  I had grandiose visions of a cottage garden.  The trick was transforming that into something we could put on the wall.  To do that we used paint, paper, lots of glue and plain old hard work.  Here are the pics.
First is a pic of Mason in what used to be his room.  The "Before"
 And "AFTER"  We hand drew and painted the tree.  The picket fence was stenciled using an scut. file we created.  The flowers and leaves are made from patterned paper, also cut on the cricut.  We layered the flowers and used dimesional adhesive on some.
 Another view with the (mommy made) curtains open.  Lissa's room opens onto a sleeping porch.  We attached all of the pp to the wall using the zig 2 way glue.  So far it seems to be sticking well, but still removable.  If I need to , we will try some other adhesives.
 The opposite side of the room. LissaBelle's crib and dresser are surrounded by patterned paper butterflies.  On the changing pad are a few more butterflies left to go up.  They are beautiful and sparkly.  We found them at Hobby Lobby in the Christmas ornament section.  I will attach them with my hot glue gun as they are a bit heavy, but I am waiting to get it back from a friend.
 One more view of our tree.
 I carved hubby's and my initials into the tree trunk.

 Lissa's crib with her quilt and boppy pillow I made.  I didn't make a crib skirt because the one I made for Mason didn't fit his crib right, but I think it would fit here.  I may have to make one.
