Mothers - we all have one...or are one - they are a necessary part of our existence - and today, we celebrate THEM!  We have our own mom's, our mother-in-law's, step-mom's, surrogate mom's, our sister's who turn in to a mother figure, Aunt's and Grandma's.....  People who are in our lives that help us to become the women we are today - this blog hop is all in celebration of each and every one of them!!!



I wanted to make my mom a nice frame. I love that even though I am a grown up when I make my mom stuff she still puts it up in her house.  So here is what I made.

I painted my frame pink, and then I had some chipboard letters. I used pink ink to make the color and then I used some glitter glue to make them sparkle.  The flowers were from my stash and I added some buttons to the center.  Then I used some ribbon around the outside and I just adhered it with my atg so it didn't slide off the frame.

I am also entering this in the DL ART Thankful Thursday Challenge Use Flowers.

Pinque Peacock Design Team Altered Frame

Hi Everyone! All I have to say is TGIF!!  I have an altered frame to share with you today and a story. So I completely forgot that I had to have my post for today. For some reason I thought it was next Friday that I was going to share with you. So at 11 pm last night I had to make something up.  I had no idea what to do. Well I have been trying to go through old projects that I loved at the time but now not so much, and revamping them into something else. So I dug into my stash and pulled out the frame.  So here is the AFTER...

 I found a before picture...lol and it was one of the first things I ever made on my blog so I think I have come a long way since then.




It was a black frame I had painted and glittered, but I didn't do a great job on it. So I took pink paint and painted over the black. Then I took a piece of paper towel and rubbed the pink off. So it gave it the muted distressed look, but you could still see the black and sparkles.  Then I used some bling in the 2 corners to jazz it up. The pin is from the Pinque Peacock Bead Buffet. I'll explain that shortly. Then I grabbed some flowers and I sandwiched the pin between the 2 layers of flowers. The paper is from Crafting Family and it is called Girlfriend Phrases by TPC Studios Added some ribbon and I have a new and CUTE picture frame.OOH, and I glittered the top of the pin :)

So the Pinque Peacock Bead Buffet is really cool. On the Pinque Peacock Facebok there is a photo album called the Bead Buffet. Here is the link.It is being restocked today, but what you do is you pick the beads you want and then you can actually make the pins yourself, or you can use the bead buffet to order custom pins. If making pins isn't your thing. :)  So go check it out and I hope you have enjoyed the frame.

I hope you like my frame redo and enjoy your Friday.

Sparkle Frame

This project took a lot to get it finished.  It kept making me mad.  I tried to cover it in paper a few weeks ago and it looks cruddy. So I ripped the paper off, sanded it, and painted it pink. Still looked bad, so it got painted black. While the paint was still wet, I sprinkled pink glitter all over it.  I found the saying online, it is a digital stamp, but I can't remember where I found it.  I will do some searching and see who it is buy. The butterfly is a stamp, I got as a prize from Angela at Binge crafter I was her 200th follower!  She has a lot of really cool tips on her blog. I colored it with colored pencils.  I used homemade glue dots to attach the butterfly and sentiment.
