Altered Picture Frame

Hey everyone! Hope all had a wonderful holiday, we certainly did :) John was home for two weeks and it was nice just being together enjoying Christmas and New Years. The kids are back in school again, first week down and it went well after being home for three weeks. We are in the middle of a REAL cold snap! I don't like getting out in the morning and seeing the temp is 29!! I can't handle that anymore.

I've been wanting to alter a picture frame for a while now. I had bought this frame eons ago at the 99 cent store and finally did something with it. I covered it with Graphic 45's Once Upon A Time. I love this line, one of their real cute ones. I covered the mat that came with the frame, then the frame itself, followed by some pink ric rack around the edge. I used my utee melting pot for the first time and dipped the butterfly in it. Some fussy cutting and flowers to finish it off. The pic is a fave of mine :) Santino and Gianna at 3! Time flies.

Here's the pics -

Yay A Little Space!

Yes it's true, a little scrap space all my own!!  It's in the kids playroom, but that is SO ok :)  We haven't tackled that room yet.  Just moved the tv and bookcase around, put my son's old desk in there and I put my stacked drawer on wheels in it from the guest room, my cricut and it's right next to my scrap  closet which makes it perfect.  No more climbing up and down the stairs for just the right embellie, or taking my little bag and filling it with 5 glimmer-mists  a bunch of stickles and flowers  or any other embellie I think I might need.  Now the closet is right there for me to choose what I want.  In time, we'll paint and re-carpet, then maybe some shelves for me to put my things. but right now I'm happy!

I got my Thanksgiving cards done and I love how they came.  I used scraps from the Autumn Melody stack from DCWV.  Here's a pic -

In the meantime, can you believe we're into November already!?!  The year is almost over, what the heck is going on?  I did make some cute little albums for my nieces as Christmas gifts that I love.  A Disney Princess bag album for the twins, which are almost identical so there's no fighting, and a Big Time Rush for my older nieces.  I haven't uploaded the pics of the older girls yet, but here are some pics of the younger's-

As you can see there is plenty of picture room with the pockets, and I just put a few pics in, they can decide on some of their own faves.  

Hope you like, have a great weekend!
