Marion's 31 Day Challenge - Day 4







Yay!!..The Frame is done... I may tweak it a bit before little Violet gets it.. as you can see.. it's all light hearted and fun..not too heavy on the embellishments because the picture will be the real focal point of this project...

Marion's challenge is really getting me focused on getting my project baskets cleaned up and finished ( of course I will probably fill them all up again, hee hee )

I will be doing a slide show tutorial on how to make a frame from scratch ( a vintage one ) after the challenge is over.
:)

Products used:
Papers and embellishments ALL from - Crate Paper's Season's Collection Kit
Tim Holtz - On The Edge Die
Glues - Tomobow Mono, Elmer's All Purpose White Glue
Sealer - FolkArt's Satin Waterbase Varnish

Marion's 31 Day Challenge - Day 2








Yeah, Yeah..I know... everyone ELSE is on Day 3.. hee hee...I am still learning how to make a video AND upload it..I don't expect a call from Stephen Spielberg anytime too soon...
Okay.... the project is a folder to hold a 8 1/2" x 11" desktop planner..what is commonly known here in Canada as a Duo-Tang.. very simple really..and because it is something that will be used often and hopefully over the years..I felt that any embellishments would only tear off or look pretty ratty over time... The trick is to seal it well.. so it can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and also make the paper stronger and more durable...

Cardstock - American Crafts
Border Punch - Threading Water by Fiskars

After 2 days I was FINALLY able to successfully upload this to YouTube...and quite unexpectedly it became my first and biggest challenge... hee hee

What a great idea and thanks Marion.. I just hope I can keep up and finish all those projects that have been hanging out there, somewhere in the backwoods of scrapper-land for a very long time now... hee hee

Since this is my first video... please forgive the blurriness and my total rookiness..

Heck..come play along!!
