Frame Redecorated

I decided to make a gift for my friend Penny, who is a new grandma of a beautiful baby girl, Ariana.  I took that 13 opening frame that I got from Goodwill (which I didn't take a good before shot of) and transform it into a beautiful frame to remember Ariana's 1st year.  The cost was only $1.99 for the frame, and I only used things from my stash.

This shows the frame in the background. Just a plastic scalloped frame.

Supplies:

• Goodwill frame
• Modge Podge
• Exacto Knife
• Sandpaper block
• Distress Ink Pumice Stone
• Anna Griffin Papers (all three coordinated nicely)
• Ivory cardstock
• Pen
• Chipboard butterflies
• Pretty stickpins
• Flowers
• Metal Frame
• Banner pieces (mine were printed from Gecko Galz B is for Banners collage sheet)
• Pearls
• Baker's Twine
• Rhinestones

I wanted to keep this simple because it will be filled with beautiful pictures of Ariana.  I am entering into the Banners Challenge at Gecko Galz, which is where I printed the banners out from. 

Sorry for the messy background. I really need to set an area to take pictures of my work, something cute with doilies or jars of cute stuff. But I need to clean and organize a space for that first!

Have you found anything wonderful at the local thrift stores??  Leave a comment and let us know!

Happy Scrappy Savings!
