PTI - Turning New leaf

Hello Bloggers!

 Sharing a quick and easy note cards.  My favorite is the first one. I used pink crochet flowers and added half pearl in the center. It reminded me of the cherry blossom.

 This one I used purple ribbon roses.

 This last one I used light blue paper roses.

The stamp set was from Paper Trey Ink called Turning New Leaf.

Thanks for looking.

Mojo # 190

Good Morning Bloggers!

I love this week Mojo Monday sketch so I decided to play along.

I took these pictures before the batteries went out.  Could that be the reason for the blurry? It happened before.

Any way thanks for taking a peak!

Decorated Photo Frames Phase II

Good Morning Bloggers!
What a busy weekend! I didn't have much time for craft but I managed to get one photo frame from Friday post decorated. The roses were made using yellow card stock then I sponged SU Tangerine Tango around the edge to give some depth.  The pearls were from the scrap book convention that I attended last year.

I love the Tattered Floral die that was what I used to make these gorgeous roses.  I used the second to the smallest flower on the die to make these roses.  A similar tutorial can be found here.

I bought the following frames before I discovered the cheap but nice wooden frames from Michaels. I decorated these a few weeks ago.  I didn't do anything to these frames except added the roses.

I love these white roses.  I used watercolor paper that I got from Walmart.  I didn't add any glitter to the roses.  I thought they were pretty the way they are.

I am entering this to the following challenges:

Happy Mother's Day

Good Sunday Morning Bloggers and Happy Mother's Day to all the MOMS!

Yesterday I received this lovely card from my friend Rachel at
A One of A Kind Design By Rachel

This picture doesn't do this card justice.   I love the papers and the color combos.  Rachel creates such beautiful cards.  I am fortunate to see her creations in person and one of the lucky one to receive her card from time to time.

Thank you so much Rachel for thinking of me.  You sure put a smile on me.

Hugs,

Covering Wooden Photo Frames

Hello Bloggers!
I bought these frames from Michaels last week and yesterday I spent time covering them with pattern papers.

I used Score Tape.  They work so great! and between the Score Tape I used the Tombo glue stick.

The wooden frame is almost 8" square so I cut my paper 8" x 8" and adhere to the frame.  Then I smooth the paper all over.  Trim any excess paper on the outside edge using a craft knife.  Then use sanding block to smooth the edges.

Turn the frame over and make two cut in the center.

Fold the paper over to see how much paper you will need to cut off.  Then adhere double sticky tape at the end of the paper and fold it over.  Used a butter knife or bond folder to smooth the paper.

Once finished you will have a nice clean look on the inner opening.

I cut four 1/2" strips for the sides of the frame.  I ripped the edge before I glue them to the sides. The ripped edges blended the strips together nicely.  Trim off any excess paper.

Here are two more frames.

It did need a little practice.  The brown frame below was my first one.  Notice the gab around the inner frame. I cut out the inner square then I cut another 1/4" piece of paper and tried to cover the inner edge frame.  It didn't give me a clean look and more work.

Then I got better.  For the inner heart I had no choice but to cut out the heart shape then glue a small strip of paper around the inside of the heart.   To make everything blend in nicely I sanded all the edges then I sponged the coordinated color all around.

Stay tune for phase two of the frames.  Have a wonderful weekend!
