Countdown to Disney Tri Fold Frame

Happy Friday everyone!  Wow, this week has just flown by.  Today I want to share with you a project I made for Clear Scraps.  I love this Tri Fold Mouse Frame, and with our upcoming trip to Disney, I couldn't resist creating a countdown calendar.  Yes, I know my littles aren't so little, but it is still fun to countdown the days till we spend some quality time with Mickey!  lol

 

I love that with the tri fold I could have sections for both photos as well as the "countdown".   Of course, I needed to add an old photo when they really were little, as well as a more recent shot with Mickey.

To add the "countdown" I carefully drilled small holes in the acrylic while the paper was still protecting both sides and then inserted my cup hooks.  The acrylic easily held the hooks in place.  Then, I just added a bound set of numbers, 0-9 to each hook that I made with my Bind-it-All.  A bit of baker's twine holds them in place.

So, how does your family plan for Disney?  Do you do a countdown?

Photo Frame - Your Memories here

Hello everyone!  Happy Monday.  Goodness, I think I need another day between Sunday and Monday.  I just feel like I still have so many things left to do from the weekend.  But isn't that the way it always goes.  Sigh.....

Today I wanted to share with you a quick little project I made using some left over packaging from Prima Marketing.  Lately, Prima has been packaging many of its woods and resins in little balsa wood boxes.  (love that)  One of these boxes had cut outs perfectly sized for wallet sized photos...you know I couldn't resist creating a fun frame.

 I began by painting the box wish some Silks Acrylic Glaze.  Varoom Red and Emperors Gold are two of my favorite Silks colors.  This combination gave me a vintage-y look without being too formal.  If you have never used Silks before, you must try some.  They are a beautifully pigmented Acrylic glaze with a bit of shimmer.

 And then came the fun stuff.....A few gorgeous Prima Flowers from my Your Memories Here Grab Bag and a resin bird, also from Prima.

This was such a quick and easy project, and a perfect way to use some of those fun boxes that have been accumulating around here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs.

You've Been Framed - The Sampler

Hi everyone, today I want to share my final project with the April kit from the Sampler.  I found this old photo frame in my stash and in my quest to clean up and organize I had to put it to use.

Be sure and check out the sketch and card challenges.

Home Decor - Chalkboard- Your Memories Here

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share a project I made using some of the goodies from my Your Memories Here store.

I found this sweet frame at Michaels for just a few dollars with my 40% off coupon and couldn't wait to make something for my daughter's room.  We have been in the process of redecorating and I thought this would be such a great addition for my soon to be teen.

I painted the frame with a crackle wash in white and then backed it in chalkboard contact paper over chipboard.

And then the fun began.  Bits of flowers, chipboard, bling and butterflies from my Prima grab bags brought out the girly factor of this little chalkboard.

I know that she loves using it in her room.

Hugs.

Nancy
