Something Different

Good morning! Just wanted to share a new project with you all! I am so excited about it as I've never done anything besides traditional, 12x12 scrapbook pages.

Well, to start, the other day I discovered that the teeny, tiny, craft store in town carries GRAPHIC 45 papers!! I was shocked! Of course I stocked up!!! Love their stuff - so vintage! Anyhow, I had picked up a few nic nacks, crafts for the kids and a wooden frame the last time I was at Michaels. I decided to pimp up the frame and give it a vintage face lift using my new papers.

I added a few prima flowers, added some distress crackle paint to the grungeboard and that's about it! The chipboard letters are from Anna Griffin - so velvetty!

I traced the bottom of one of my patterned papers from Sassafrass Lass to make the border along the roof.

Gorgeous vintage tag and butterflies - all Graphic 45!

I totally love the way it turned out - would make a nice gift don't you think?? I may try my hand at these altered projects a little more often!!
