Altered Frame

Image
We had a frame that came in damaged into the shop and decided to give it a dressing up. Here I have used Prima and Kaiser flowers, Kaiser bling swirls and pearl bead ribbon and  some shells that I had in my stash. We can make these frames to order any colour you would like, depends of course what we have left in stock.   Looks better in real life, had fun doing this one mostly because blue is my favourite colour.

Once a month at http://www.scrapbookfantasies.com.au they hold there card club which is free to anyone who wishes to come, it is usually held on the 2nd Saturday of each month.  This months theme is monocromatic cards mine was pink. Colours where put into a hat and you had to pick one out .  You have to make a certain amount of cards I usually make 12 as it is an easy number of cards to make and any leftovers I usually put in my spare card box for birthdays etc. This is my pink card    I have stamped the rocking chair with ordinary pink ink and then embossed with pink embossing powder the teddy bear onto the chair.  Then you if you wish can purchase a kit for $2.50 and make a card. This then goes into a competition and the customers get to vote. You are allowed to add to these kits all I have added is the bling swirl and the small flowers.   This is the card I have made:

With a little push I will just say from Alicia and Mar I gave this a go, had so much fun doing this. You just let your creativity flow into what you are doing. So much fun.   This first one is one I started with Nancy Stockman http://www.nancystockmann.com  when she came to visit us at the shop last month. With a gentle push, thump and a bang no Nancy is such a lovely lady, she let me create something. I did not know where to start but I liked what I saw when I finished. These pages where my own creations I used the Golden paints and pastes etc. The Title is "I Believe in Myself"       And this was the second one:   I decided to us Tracy's prom photo I just printed the photo onto ordinary copy paper in both black and colour. I have used leftover beads and cut up one of the lace panels left over from making her dress. I have stamped, glued and sprayed and got my hands dirty.
