Picture frames

Picture frames are my favorite items to alter and they are very easy to work with. Below are a few of the picture frames I have created. I apologize for the angle of the picture frames in the pictures. They are not as easy to photograph as they are to decorate! :)

I hope you have as much fun decorating picture frames as I do! If you haven't yet altered one, I urge you to try it today. I bought the plain wooden frames at Michael's Arts & Crafts for $1 each. You certainly can't go wrong at that price :)

So have fun stampin' and creatin!

Hanging Treat Holder

This is a neat project to make when you want to spruce up a water bottle or give it as a gift to someone. Here I used Kool Aid drink mix packets, but I have seen the pouch made smaller to accommodate on the go drink mixes. Other types of bottles can be used as well: short ones, tall ones, water, pop, juice, etc. Like most stamping projects, this one is very versatile! :)
