One Down, Countless To Go!

This frame was started some time ago. I recently had a friend mention that she needed to finish some projects before starting any more. She got me to thinking about all the projects I have sitting around here that I need to finish up. So, yesterday I worked on a few. This is one that I completed. As some of you know, my first love (in the crafting world) is painting. However, it lacks the instant gratification that paper crafting offers. What I mean by that is that it takes much longer to complete a painted project than a card.

This project combined two of my loves, painting and paper crafting. I painted the frame black and the ghost white (he is made of wood). I modge podged a patterned paper on the frame. After it dried I lightly sanded the edges. Several months later I added details to the ghost. The "boo" and stars are made from card stock. I used some fun wire to connect them to the ghost. Then I super glued the ghost onto the frame. I am very excited how this project turned out. I am thinking I will make some Christmas frames using the same method.

I have a few more projects that I are almost complete. That means I should have more than 2 posts next week!

Have a fun filled weekend!

  1. You go, girl! The frame looks very cute. That's exactly the type of thing I've got inside my cupboards...just waiting to be designed!
