    Default Cross between scrapbooking and ....?

    Before the holidays, I saw a frame in a Hallmark store for a pet dog. It was cute, but priced out of my range at $39.99. I had my brother in law's name to buy for and he doesn't need anything, but his dog is his life. I'm the type that looks at things and thinks to myself, I can do that. So I gave it a try and was quite pleased. I probably spent around $10 for each frame and have pieces left for others.

    I bought paint canvas's and frames (used the back) at Dollar Tree. I covered the canvas with scrapbooking paper. Picked up bits and pieces from various stores and ended up making two pet frames. Then I made a frame for my niece who got married Dec 21. I didn't know she was wearing a black gown at her wedding - but the picture will look great with my gray/silver colors.

    Let me know what you think.

    Those are adorable!! Plus I think I have canvas someplace from when my ex husband thought he'd start painting. I could sooo make something like that!!

    Thanks for the great idea!
