Hi All!! I wanted to share an altered frame I made for Kayla today - so no layouts, sorry!! I actually made this bases on the
SCS way to use it challenge yesterday, which was frames!! And, it also was great for the
EIS Friday challenge so I knew I had to get it done, lol! Plus, my daughter has been asking me to make some things for her room, we are redoing it in purples and greens....it is a work in progress!! So, I bought this frame at Michaels for $1 (can you believe that??!!) painted it with white acrylic paint, then distressed it with my
sanding block. Then, I went to town decorating!! I used my
Tea Party Designer Series paper and cut out bunches of the flowers, then layered them on top of one another and arranged them on the frame. The stamped images are from the set
Polka Dot punches - I actually inked them up with my
markers so I could make them different colors, I love how they look that way!! I was going for feminine, pretty, but not cutesy....I think I did it because Kayla said she LOVES it, which just thrills me!! I have some other projects in mind for her room makeover as well and now that I know she likes this, I can design around it!! The hard part will be repainting her room - we just painted it a year ago when we moved in and it is orange right now....so lots of work ahead. But, I am glad she picked such a pretty color combination - I mean, hey, it COULD be black, heehee!! That would soooo not be happening *wink* So, today is chore day since I put it off yesterday....lots and lots of things to get done in the house. I hope to have some time to work on some more projects later this afternoon...I really do love having a part of each day for creating!! Thanks so much for stopping by and if you get the chance, please sign in to my followers link, I just added it this week, and it's fun to see everyone in there!! I am also going to be blurfing today as I have to see what you all are up to *wink* Enjoy your weekend all!
