I have some home decor to share today! I'm really excited about this project.... it's odd, yes, but I think it turned out really neat!

Do you see it? If you guessed mouse traps, you're right! Now I can't take full credit for this idea, I saw it on pinterest a while back and I HAD to try it!
Don't worry! The mouse traps were NEW in a package when I started! There was something a little odd about hanging mouse traps on my refrigerator, but when I painted them and jazzed them up with some "Fresh" designs, they look really unique! 


I used elements stickers for the little letters at the top. There is one for "Keys," one for "Notes," and one for "Bills." I cut the little paper bows with my Silhouette Cameo and added the perfect dimensional touch to the center, an embellishment made with my Epiphany Crafts shape tool! 

This is a fun & quick project to make! All you need are some mouse traps (which I found at my local $ store for cheap), some paint, and some pretty paper and embellishments! Quick & easy way to keep organized too!
