DIY Spooky Boo Frame

Hello friends! 

Today I want to share with you my Spooky Boo Frame:

Everything I made this with I already had on hand!  Super cheap and Easy:)

Supplies you will need:

-Old frame from thrift store {I got mine at Salvation Army for about 1$}

-Paint {I used Black and Wedding Cake white}

-Sponge brush

-vinyl lettering {or you could cut the letters out of paper}

-scrapbook paper

-sticky back foamie pumpkins {I think I got these at Micheal's}

1. Grab your frame and take the glass and backing out.

2. Paint the frame black using foam brush {I just did 1 coat}.

3. Pick your scrapbook paper and trace the size out using the backing on the frame.

4. Just a cool picture of what my paper looks like!

5. Frame painted and with paper inserted.

6. Sponge brush over black paint with white paint.  I didn't cover all the black. I like the way it makes it look kinda spooky!

7. Apply pumpkins and vinyl lettering to paper {not the glass on the frame!}

8.  Slide the finished masterpiece into the frame.

Now you have a cute decoration that you can switch out with other fun inserts! 

I love interchangeable decorations:)

Hope your having a fantastic weekend!!

Christmas Tree Wall Art {Tutorial}

Don't forget to enter the Shabby Apple Giveaway!  Ends 12/10.

This last week I got the creative juices flowing!  I love that feeling.  For a while there I was feeling NOTHING, but then I saw Oopsey Daisy's beautiful Wall Art, and I got some ideas!  Alison has such fabulous talent and is very inspiring!

Here's what  you need:

-Old Frame with mirror {I got mine at Salvation Army}

-Tropic Bay Blue acrylic paint {Delta Ceramcoat}

-Sterling metallic craft paint {Martha Stewart}
-Burlap

-Fabric

-Sugar Cube Glitter {Martha Stewart}

-embellishments

-Tim Holtz distressing Ink {Walnut}

-Spray adhesive

-Sand paper

1. I decided to paint over the mirror on my frame.  I used the Martha Stewart sterling paint for this.

2. Paint your frame.  I went over it two times, then I went over it once with the MS Sugar Cube Glitter paint.

3.  If you like the distressed look, sand the edges of the frame.  

4.  Add the burlap for stumps, fabric for the trees.  I used Spray adhesive to adhere the fabric.

5.  For embellishments, I used these cute little pearls that were about $1 for a package.  

6.  For the distressed look, I used Tim Holtz distressing ink for the edges of the frame and the fabric. 

7.  For the snowflakes, I used some vinyl snowflakes I had cut out with my Cricut a few years ago.  

I am really happy with the way it turned out!  I love the red and aqua together, don't you?

Let me know what you think.  I love to read each and every one of your comments!

Hope your having a fabulous weekend!

Spring Flower Wall Art- My Take

You know I love going to Salvation Army when they have the 1/2 off sale.  I have a huge bag full of stuff that I haven't done anything with yet, but I am slowly working my way through it!

During Spring Break (which is over for us....SAD) I got creative and made a cute framed Flower Wall Art for my living room.  I didn't do a tutorial for you, because I can't totally take credit for it.  Alison over at Oopsey-Daisy did one too and I patterned mine after her fabulous looking one!  She did a great tutorial on her blog.

Instead of using Burlap for my background, I used a fabric quarter I got from Joann's 40% off!  I didn't sew on mine, and Alison did.  I was too lazy:) I painted spray painted my frame aqua blue. 

Well, here she is.....Whatcha think????

I glued everything on with a glue gun.  I used a piece of cardboard from a cereal box for the backing.  I sprayed adhesive on the cardboard and attached the fabric.  

I love how it brightens up my living room!  

I start school tomorrow.  I am taking Math, Spanish, Health and a Running class!

I am going to be a busy woman, but hopefully I will still be able to have time for some crafting too!!
