Bluebird and Flowers Picture Frame

Okay, so I get on a roll and don't know when to quit!  You've probably already figure out that, yes, it's another picture frame.  What I love most about these frames, is how quick and easy they are to dress up.  This frame was a bit harder to decide what colors to use.  It's sort of red but not red but it came close to matching our Cherry Cobbler.  I think this one is my favorite of all the ones I've done.

Stamp Set:  Language of Friendship; Inks:  Gumball Green, Midnight Muse; Card Stock:  Bashful Blue, Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy; Accessories & Tools:  Boho Blossom Punch, Bird Builder Punch, Pearl Basic Jewels, Mini Glue Dots

Although I do have more frames to embellish, I'll save them for another time.  Tomorrow I'll share some of the new cards I've designed.

If you have any questions about this project, or any of the others you've seen, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Summer Starfruit & Black Picture Frame

As promised, here is the other picture frame I embellished yesterday.  The frame can be set vertically or horizontally, depending on the pictures you want to display, so I positioned the flowers to allow it to be used either way.  I love the way the Summer Starfruit and Basic Black Card Stock look together.  To make the flowers, I used the Blossom Punch and the Fancy Flower Punch.

The frame seemed a bit off balance so I added some of our Pearl Basic Jewels.  All of the frames are for sale, so if you see one you like e-mail me and I'll give you the details.  Although, the frames I've shared came in the colors you see, I can do a color of your choice.

And, yes, I do have more frames to play with, just in case you were wondering.  Actually, I'm saving them for my next Techniques Thursday class.  You'll learn how to make the flowers for whatever project you have in mind.  Be sure to register soon.  Check out the Stamping Cafe Events page for more details.

Spice Cake Picture Frame

While doing some spring cleaning, I came across several frames that I had purchased a while back.  Nothing like putting something away and not remembering you have it.  I am so becoming like my mother.  One year she hid Christmas gifts for the younger children, then couldn't remember where she put them.  It was years' later, after those little ones were grown and she was moving, that she found them.  We got such a chuckle out that.

So, back to the frames.  This one was nearly mustard in color so I paired it up with a touch of Spice Cake Designer Series Paper, More Mustard and Very Vanilla Card Stock for the flowers.  I added just a bit of color by punching Pool Party, Very Vanilla and Spice Cake Designer Series Paper with the Boho Blossoms Punch.  With a few punches and a little ink, this was a quick and easy way to make a beautiful gift.

Tomorrow I'll show you the other frame I embellished.  Now if I could just get some new cards made... oh, and I have the next Llama Blog Hop coming up next week.  Looks like I'd better get busy.
