I love being able to dig into my stamping and scrapping supplies and find ways to make my decorating projects unique.  While shopping for treasures, I tend to pick up frames and pack them away until I need them.  Here are some frames that I have been working on lately. 

This frame was black, so I painted it a beige color.  Then I lightly sanded it to make it look distressed.  I cut around the images of my daughter and son-in-law and mounted it to a piece of  #118401 Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper.  I punched the sides of the paper with the #117649 Pinking Hearts Border punch.

I couldn’t find a photo of my newest grandbaby, Ashley, that fit perfectly in this shabby ol’ frame.  First, I put her picture on Whisper White cardstock, but it just looked washed out with the white frame next to it.  I used the #113439 Big Shot Die-Cut Machine with the #114521 Oval Scallop Frame, using the #116478 Groom Specialty Paper (black stripes).  I love how it looks now!  The black oval frame draws your eyes to the beautiful baby!

This was originally a bright white frame.  I lightly sanded it and painted it a mustard yellow color and sanded it again to shabby it up.  It was still too plain, so I added a piece of #112454 Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware with the word "cherish" from the #115108 Warm Words stamp set.  This is my son and daughter-in-law’s first family picture at Ashley’s baptism.
