What you can do with a dollar frame.........

I found this picture Frame at my local craft store, for just $1. I liked the size and knew that I had the perfect picture, but what to do with the rest......hummmmm.  

I used mostly Big Shot cut outs, and added the Real Red 1 1/4 striped grosgrain ribbon, a few punches of hearts and just for my embossing friends a few embossed hearts.  For the glitter girls a few of the new glimmer brads and for me.....the purple butterflies.  I had it somewhat figured out in my head, I was attempting to explain the plan to a friend and to her it did not  sound appealing........She LOVED the end results.  Look outside the box girls!! You will have fun!!

Valentines - Sense of Time

Here I sit at my new computer, Thanks to my Hubby.  This picture was taking with my Christmas present, from my Hubby, a new camera. I am listening to the wind blow and watching the snow fall, sort of.  I am very happy for my "valentine".  I made this one with him in mind.  I love that he saves all my notes and cards that I leave (make) for him.  This one was inspired by him.  The base is Soft Suede with a Crumb Cake layer.  The clock you have seen before.....Sense of Time.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. The punches I used were the small Heart, Modern Label and Word Window.  I also embossed the hearts.  There is still time to MAKE a special card for your "Valentine".

Valentines - Loads of Love

Here is a second Valentine.....I used the truck from Loads of Love and the small heart punch to over flow the truck bed.  The background paper is DSP, Jolly Holiday, left overs from Christmas.  The twill has "love" stamped on it from the Tiny Tags set.  I just put in on Real Red card stock.  But how cute!!

See you again next week.

January '11

This week there will be two postings.....I know not a good way to start the year, failing the second week in (YIKES!!).  I do have a condition out of my control.  My computer finally bought the farm, well died.  My poor husband has been trying to fix it best he can, but with not too much success.  I am thankful, I have a friend that has let me stop by and do ALL of my computer stuff at her house and she lives super close.  Thank you Rocky!  I will chat with you all tomorrow?? I will have a second post for you............

Christmas 2 page spread.

Here is my VERY first Christmas 2 pager....

Yes, I took if from two different cards but how cute they turned out.  DSP is the two background 12X12 from the color pack and Deck the Halls.  The Santa uses the XL scallop circle. The Christmas tree uses the buttons die for the big shot. 

Happy Scrapping!!
