A Valentine's Frame

This little frame started as a plain unfinished frame from Michaels.  All I did to change it was modpodge on some scrapbook paper, glue on some ribbon with hot glue, and then attach my little valentine's embellishment that I found at Michael's.  There is a picture of my girls in there because my sister is single and her nieces and nephews are probably the biggest love in her life right now :)

The edges turned out a little rough, and I think they have taught me a lesson - just because everything CAN be bought at the dollar store, it doesn't mean everything SHOULD be bought at the dollar store.  My exacto knife is a piece of crap, and I have to admit that my husband is right... sometimes you should just shell out the money to guarantee you will get a good product... oh well.  Lesson learned.

  1. I think it is so Sweet! Love the girls photo to they are so cute! I use a emery board to smooth my edges and it works great. Give it a try next time and see if that will help! Blessings, Vicky
