Holiday Frame

Published by Julia Stainton at 9:13 am under Card Designs, Craft Critique Project, Holiday

I love making altered frames! So much fun to do! This frame is a 12×12 frame and is perfect for using 12×12 patterned paper with. I created this frame to hang in my living room this Christmas season to hold a photo of my children this year. I love this picture. Do you know how hard it is to get five kids of varying ages to get close together and all smile at the same time?! I had to give them all credit for their patience. And each year…this is one of my favorite gifts….the gift of them to quickly and the memories a photo holds is something to treasure.

This frame uses Cosmo Cricket Be Good paper line and their fun Buck Naked Chipboard Ornaments. I love their products. I created this frame for a Craft Critique article a few weeks ago. You may have already seen it there. It is actually part of a tutorial article and if you want the instructions…check it out at…

    What a lovely frame! Those family portraits are treasures now and you’ll love them even more later. And give yourself a big pat on the back for all your Christmas preparations! We’re still madly flapping around here…..
