So, I never found beautiful, perfect, wonderful printed vellum and regular scrapbooking paper is much too thick and dims the lamp's light way too much. So, I mentally went through options and settled on finally busting out my Silhouette SD and cutting out a *snicker* silhouette for my lamp. Choosing the paper was as simple as picking brown card stock over black (because I do want to refinish the lamp some day). I spent most of today finding the perfect graphic. Now, I originally wanted a grass or dandelion lower border only. But when I found this one, although I initially passed over it, it nagged at me and nagged at me. I started working on this song lyric idea, but if I cut out text, I feared that I still would be blocking out too much light. So, I used the border you see below. Thank you Lori Whitlock over at the Silhouette Online Store. I had a million ideas before I settled on this, and it was no small decision! But now that it is up and I've turned it on, I can see why it nagged at me! Look at the shape of the lamp itself! haha, somewhere in my head, I was screaming "it's perfect!"
...the end :)
