Our Genuine boy

This is the the last of the 12x12 picture frames I made for Christmas presents. This one is for my other great-nephew Connor. I had purchased a rub on that had the title on it with lots of little boy sayings they were all just perfect for him. He has such a big personality I thought the big C fit him perfectly. This is my favorite out of all the frames that I made.                                  

This is a close up of the corner and this is a better representation of the color of the paper that was used. The C was made with the Lyrical Letter Cartridge

More Handmade Christmas

This is another picture frame that I made for my great nephew James for Christmas. Today is his 2nd birthday and he was born near North Pole, Alaska. He lives a lot closer now which is wonderful that we will be able to see him grow up. I used the pattern that RUELYSI has on her blog. She has made so many great animals for the DS and I knew I wanted to use her penguin: it is so cute. Here is the link to her blog ruelysicreativecards if you down load a file please be kind and leave her a thank you it is the least you can do for all her beautiful and hard work

This is the close up of Ruelysi adorable penguin, and so easy to make. Thanks Ruelysi!

OUR GRANDKIDS

I have never had an orignal  idea. I saw a picture frame like this one at Archivers, but always having my mothers mantra in the back of my mind ("There is always a cheaper way"). I found some 12x12 frames at Michael's they were $4.99 on sale and I had a 20% off coupon but I splurged on the paper, I felt this paper went so well with my sister-in-laws living room. The picture openings are  4x4. I made the pattern with my Cricut Design Studio. I made 4 frames in total and will share some more over the next few days.

              

This is a close-up of the the decorative 4x4 square. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law have 2 grandson's with another on the way this spring. They are so proud of them. I know they will enjoy placing their pictures in this frame for all to see.
