Picture Frame

Hi Everyone,
The library is having a big fundraiser this Friday and three of us crafty girls are each doing something to put into a raffle basket.
Since the party is this Friday I didn’t have time to work on a mini album so I went with a picture frame. The frame is from Michael’s wood section and holds a 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ photo.

 I used some pleated trim around picture area, it highlights the frame nicely and looks great with the October Afternoon “Thrifty Shop” paper. The flowers are from I Am Roses and I love them. Look at the detail in the mulberry. Stunning! I also added some skeleton leaves and prima bling.
 I distressed the ends of the paper to give it a little more detail.

Well thats all for today, thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day.
Hugs and happy crafting

Another Frame

Hi Everyone,

I’m running late for work so I can’t go into the supplies used in this frame right now, but I’ll come back tonight and update it with the details…
This frame is for my Mother-in-law to give as a gift. I had made her one to go with Ethan’s school picture and I told her I would make one for her to give a friend as a gift….

Enjoy your day…

Frame

Hi Everyone,
I’m a little late posting my Tuesday project. Better late than never right? Here’s a frame I made for Ethan’s 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. K.

The Green polka dot pattern paper was a very bright BoBunny paper. I white washed it with some acrylic paint and water. Love the tone down look….I inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink.
The frame overall measures 9 in. x 7 in. and holds a 4 in. x 6 in. picture. I picked up a couple of these frames from Michaels…this one has a more angled picture area and the others are straight up and down. I didn’t think I would like the angled frame but I love it. I think a trip back to M’s to get more might be in order….

The satin ribbon is just a wide piece I had in my stash. I used some Eline Prima Pearl bling and those beautiful flowers are petals from IamRoses.com. I sprayed the flowers with Marshmallow Glimmer mist and added some mini roses (also from iamroses). Stuck behind the flowers are some small skeleton leaves (yep Iamroses) and a beaded stick pin, you probably can’t see the pin in the picture..

Well I have two more frames to work on as gifts and I’m done with those. Hope your having a great week. Maybe I’ll actually get around to those Christmas cards tonight…

Frame

Monday? What happened to the weekend? I had a somewhat crafty weekend….Saturday I finally set my room the way I wanted it to look. I’ve been looking at a wall since I’ve had my own craftroom and I always kept it that way because of how I film my videos. Scott came up with a solution to filming (it’s on order) and I get to stop starring at walls 🙂 Depending on how long it takes to ship and when it gets here, I may not have any videos this week? Which is OK because I’m going to spend some time this week getting my list of videos straightened out and work on some other projects I have in the works….

Have you all seen the amazing frames that Teri has been making? The frame can be found at Michael’s in the wood section and measures 12×12 and holds a 5×7 picture. As soon as I saw the first frame Teri made I had to make one. This frame is for Scott’s parents, check out that cutey in the picture. I can’t believe he’s in 3rd grade already.

I’ll try to remember the supplies: I started it two weeks ago and finally finished it up this weekend:
Supplies:
Wood Picture Frame (Michaels), Crackle Medium, Red paint, Black Paint, Pattern Paper (Graphic 45 Playtime Past), Paper Trey Ink: It’s official stamp set, torn page die, and twine. Tim Holtz, on the edge file tab. Denin material, Sakura White Gel Pen, Don Juan Cricut Cartridge (Stars) 
and a whole lotta love 🙂 

Picture Frame

I started making this frame just for fun. It’s one of those $1.00 wooden frames you can find at Michael’s.

I painted the frame with a off-white acrylic paint then layered Bazzil cardstock with some My Minds Eye pattern paper. I did a zig zag stitch around the outside and inside of the pattern paper.  I really really love how it came out. 
I cannot stop making these flowers. I wanted to show you a close-up of the flower so you can see the “Diamond Dust” I added. Diamond Dust can be found at Michael’s in the adhesive aisles. Have you seen the Prima flowers at Michael’s that have the water drop look? Well this is what you use. Just think off all the flowers you can make…If you haven’t seen my video on how to make these flowers click HERE
Have a great Wednesday!
