Birthday Decoupage Project for my brother, Chris

I'm going to decoupage a wood circle with a picture of my brother as a baby for his 50th birthday.  Today I scanned the photo, printed it out on my inkjet printer, ripped it out and sprayed it with hairspray so I can decoupage it onto the wood.  I painted the wood with red acrylics with a little white mixed in.  I'm gonna wait until tomorrow to start decoupaging.  I only have gloss Mod Podge left so will use that.  I think it will be awfully plain so I'd like to use either silver stars (like the kind you got as a kid in school) or silver glitter on it.  I'll have to ask Mom if she has any of those star stickers.  What do you think?  Should I leave it plain or what?  Here is the picture of the original photo, from about 1963 and the one I printed:

Fall Leaf Stepping Stone

During Vacation Bible School for adults at my church we made stepping stones and painted them.  Mine turned out really big.  The lady who taught us how to do this brought some huge leaves for us to use.  They are made out of concrete and painted with acrylic paints.  I guess they take about a month to cure completely.  Here are my pics.
