Feel Love Blog Hop


Welcome to Feel the Love Blog Hop!  If you just stopped by my blog today, you can start at the beginning of the hop with Jamie at Glitter, Stamps and Paper, Oh my!

If you arrived here from Ellen at Card Monkey than you are in the right place! 

I decided to do something simple this time.  I created an altered picture frame.  I have made quite a few of these in the past and I just love doing them. I was creating this for my husband, but I'm afraid I might have made it a little too girly.  I tend to have that problem.  LOL!  I started with a cheapy frame I bought at Michael's for a dollar.



Then I painted the edges and back with a chocolate brown paint.  I did two coats to get it to the color I wanted.  I don't take the time to paint the front because I will end up covering it with paper anyways. 




From there I covered the front with a chocolate brown stripped pattern paper.  Then I used an exacto knife to cut out the opening.  It didn't turn out very clean so I have a plan for that later.


For there I punched out hearts from four different patterned papers.  I covered the whole picture frame with the hearts.  I then put a thick layer of gloss mod podge over all the hearts.  From there I added glitter around the outside of heart shaped picture opening.  Then I emblished it a little.  I haven't chosen a picture for it yet, but I will later. 




Thanks for looking!  Hope you enjoyed my little project.  Now it is time to hop on over to Casey at Simple Joy Crafting.  She is sure to have something fantastic waiting for you.
