It actually worked out really well! Just like you said, I was able to reposition the paper when I realized that I was getting an "air bubble" and it ended up looking great! I read a lot of horror stories about Modge Podge here on the Hybrid Chatter forum, but my DH had already picked up the bottle from the store, so I decided to try it and just see what happened. I have decided that once you commit brush to project, you need to just paint that stuff on and have confidence that it will all work out in the end.
This is how it turned out:
