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!
