This week on VIP Home (and the entire week on the blog), we are going for BOLD. And after many stars displayed their BOLD fashions at the Oscars last night (Hello–Jennifer Aniston!), I cannot help but want to embrace the bold *wink*

A foam brush
Paint color of your choice
Scrapbooking paper in multiple patterns
Scissors
Sandpaper
