Simply Saturday….a simple frame

Published by Julia Stainton at 9:41 am under published designs

It’s crazy busy here today with the renovation. We’re busy pouring our concrete kitchen/eating area/mudroom floor. We’ll be tiling on top once it cures. I can’t wait. This is the last HUGE job of the renovation and we’re hoping it is all downhill from here. :) We hope.

Today in keeping with my busy day and in keeping with Simply Saturday…I’m sharing a frame design that is published in the latest PaperCrafts magazine…. April 2008 edition. Where DO the days go?! I didn’t even realize this issue was already out but saw it on the shelves last night at the drug store. LOL They love me there! ;) Scanning the magazines, as with Cdn postage…I’m one of the last to get my complimentary copies. I’m sure they groan when they see me coming. You’ll be happy to know I did purchase one of the latest scrapbooking magazines so it’s all good. ;)

Forever Frame

This is a quick simple 12 x12 ” wedding frame. The emphasis of the feature was on white weddings. I added a white flourish rub-on directly onto the glass for a subtle embellishments. As you may know…I just love altering frames. This design is all about sometimes simple being all you need. :) Another feature of April’s PC magazine is quick and easy birthdays. I have another simple design in that as well.

I also wanted to tell you that Jacksonbelle has her new store open! This time its not on ebay but a fabulous on-line store with even more goodies for you. I hear she has in the brand new Cosmo Cricket so please…don’t buy it all before I get a chance. Check it out at Jacksonbelle Embellishments Also… for the rest of March…get 15% off of your order if you use the online code… Opening02. Have fun!

Now back to work for me….

Hope your Saturday is simply wonderful!

Edited to add…

Just can’t stay away! ;) I took some quick pics this morning and thought I’d share…

My back entrance just before the floor is poured…those are the in-floor heating tubes attached to the steel base that the concrete is poured on top of.

    I love that frame, the colors are so pretty. I hate remodling projects but when they are done they are so worth it!

    What a gorgeous frame! I love the elegant simplicity. Beautifully done!
    And thanks for the peek at the reno! It must be so exciting to see it coming together. Hope all this snow isn’t slowing things down too much.
