Picture Frame

So here is my first craft...I wanted to repurpose this picture frame. We are trying to pinch pennies, so most of my crafts are done not only for fun but to save money too.

I bought some scrapbooking paper on clearance at Michaels and used the card stock I had at home to do this craft.

I wanted to do a "art deco" type look for this frame...so I took something I had laying around to cut circles out of this paper.

Of course...I then had to take a break because my crafting partner was cranky...

Thank GOD for paci's!!

Ok...now I cut out all the little circles, four of the big blue ones and four of the little white ones. Then I covered the old picture border with white card stock and then glued down all of the little circles at each corner of the paper.

Then I glued on the picture I wanted. (its actually his birth announcement that I thought I did a fab job on...well that is a lie, I ordered it from Snapfish but I still took the time pick it out!!) 

Then I put it back in the picture frame & Wa-LA...beautiful new picture frame for Mr. Man's room!!

Super easy and cost me less than 3 bucks! Now if you have to go out & buy a frame it will cost you more but I remembering buying this frame at Target in the clearance isle...so think cheap!!

Next entry my disaster of a lamp shade that I will be recovering for like the 3rd time...yes...you have permission to laugh at me!

I'll try again...

I had this brilliant idea yesterday to start up my blog again...you know the one where I put like three entries in and then quit. Like I don't have enough to do already...2 kids in school, summer coming up, a new baby...Yeah...start your blog up again. Good idea, right?? I figure I can at least do something in it a few times a week. So here is my plan, I will post my so called "crafts" and how to do them, my amateur photography and then some rants or praise about being a mother. Trust me I'm no Martha Stewart, have you seen her "how to make blah blah blah..." I swear one craft has book full of instruction with it. So, I won't do that to you...my crafts will me simple, easy and try to take less than an hour to do. My photography might be awesome or really stink and my rants probably won't be grammatically correct. So, if your interested read on my friends, read on...
