Altered Frame

Good Morning everyone 

Well I'm off to teach in a bit 

but thought I would share

this frame with you first. 

I  painted the frame black 

so that the colours would pop

against it.

Easter Hoops

Good Morning Everyone

Hope you're all well.

After my day of Vertigo on Tuesday 

I was quite glad to wake up on Wednesday

and it had gone, So I was able to Craft 

I have had these Kiddle Mintay papers 

for a few weeks and I decided to pull 

them out and make some wall decor 

for a friend with twin Grandchildren 

I painted the Embroidery Hoops in White and 

attached Grey board to the backs of each to

 make them very sturdy, 

Added some of the frames which I cut out the 

middle so photos could be added, 

Added lots of Fussy Cut elements from the papers 

Also added flowers from Prima 

in matching colours

Playing Love Notes

Good Afternoon 

Today I am sharing this Wooden Violin 

I recently purchased this Kit from a well

 know selling site 

It was a little awkward to put together 

Put I persevered and managed it 

Then I took it all apart and painted all the smaller bits 

in a grey colour as I thought Black would have been over powering 

I covered the main body 

with a sheet of Floral Symphony 

from Graphic 45 Love Notes Collection 

When that was complete I carefully put

it back together, Inked around the edges with 

Hickory Smoke Distress Ink 

Added Red Cord to make the Strings 

of the Violin 

I Decorated it with some fussy Cut flowers 

from the paper Pad and some Flowers from my stash 

from 49 and Market 

Thank you for visiting
