Everybody wants to know what I did next! Since this picture got so many great comments and questions, I decided to show you the process from start to finish! Many of you thought they were very pretty as is - and I agree - but that was not the end I had in mind!

So I just randomly mod-podged them to my boards. There are strips of vintage dictionary pages interspersed on every piece too.

Love your unique style. I too, work on pine boards and enjoy the endless possibilities of paper scraps. :) Thanks for sharing.
