Mod Podge I love this stuff. I haven't played with it for years but I still have a few of the projects my mom and I did. I went into Michaels for...uh well...oh! I think I was looking for some ribbon to hang my Angel ornaments and got sidetracked (a very dangerous thing). They had dimensional paper ornaments perfect for decorating, sorry I do not have a picture of just them. I grabbed 3 round ones (one for each cat) and two stars. And of course I had to find some Christmasy paper to use.
I cut out two sides for each ornament, making sure each one was about 1/8" smaller than the ornament.
Then I painted the edge, and up the side of each ornament with white acrylic paint. I put a layer of Mod Podge on the cardboard side and place the scrapbook paper over and put another layer of Mod Podge ontop, making sure to smooth out the bubbles and center the circle.
While letting side one dry I cut out a picture of each of my cats (maybe someday I will do this project again with a picture of a dog or even better...my own child!) and cut a hole in the matching three pieces to make frames. Once they were dry I Mod Podged both the picture and the second piece of paper to side two and let them dry.

I am sometimes very inpatient especially when waiting for things to dry, so I used some of the the polka-dot scraps and Mod Podge and spruced up the little clothespins that hold our stockings.
