Home Decor Custom Frame/Mini all in one

  

This is my very first finished project since my new studio has been completed.  I must admit it felt so good to be in there today, it looked so bright and happy.  I actually knew where everything was.  But best of all, I could put my crafty little hands on any and everything immediately.  That was just awesome.   This project was totally inspired by Kathy Orta over at Paper Phenomenon from June 2010.  Please see link below.  Her project has a wedding theme, so I changed it up a bit for a girlfriend having a baby boy.  Do check out her wedding frame, just beautiful. I used the DCVW Nursery Rhyme CS stack and Bazzill solids as well as plain white CS.  The base of this project is a 12x12 artist's canvas.  I use inexpensive acrylics to coordinate my paint color with my card stock and paint away. Then just adhere your base page, drill holes, set eyelets and place the 1. 5 inch book rings.  There are ten pages in total, room for seventeen 4x6 photos and ten tags, cut from Tags Bags, Boxes and More Cricut cartridge for journaling smaller photos and some cute coordinating stamped images.  The Three Blind Mice in the lower right hand corner were cut at 2 1/2 inches with base shadow from the Nursery Rhyme Cricut cartridge.  I used Glossy Accents to give the mice a "blank" look in their eyes.  Bow at the top has a miniature pacifier and rattel hanging.  More detail upon request.  Please leave me a comment  and let me know what you think.  Thanks for looking!
