Mr. & Mrs. frame

The project that I have to share with you is a frame that I made for my hausband, as we are celebrating our 4 year Wedding Anniversary tomorrow.  I had gotten the frame during a scrapbooking evening at a local scrap store, after seeing them make a sample project using it.  This year we decided we were not buying gifts since we have a trip coming up that we have been saving for, so I decided to make this project since we only agreed on not buying gifts. :) 

Every year we take a picture on our anniversary, and this year the frame will mean a lot more to both of us, as the colors (black, white and red) are the same colors we used for our big day along with the ribbon, which is the actual ribbon that I have left over from when we used it on our wedding invitations, wedding decorations and gifts for the wedding party.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

- Mr. & Mrs. from Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge cut at 3.5

- Rings from Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge cut at 2

- Bazzill Magnetic Frame

- Collage Pauge Glue, Sealer & Finish, to seal the paper onto the frame

- Folk Art Paint - Black, used to paint the side & back of the frame

- Glossy Accents on the diamond

'Rock On' Birthday Girl

The project that I have to share is another birthday card that I made for my husband's niece who is going to be celebrating her 14th birthday in a couple weeks.  When I first met her, she would never have been caught wearing pink or dresses, as she has always been a tom-boy.  She has recently started wearing pink, as long as it is pink camo, and has started getting the standard teenager attitude, so I thought this card would be perfect for her birthday.  Thanks to my best friend Heather, for allowing me to use her Rock Princess Cricut Cartridge & coordinating stamp set.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Recipe for this project:

- Stickles on Skull in Clear

- Rock On stamp

- White Chalk around square
