Altered Photo Frames

I have been having lots of fun altering plastic photo frames!

So many fun things you can do with this and they make perfect gifts for Mother's Day! 

I was so thrilled to be able to bring these to you LIVE on Heartfelt Creations Facebook page!

Make sure you keep a look out as I will be bringing more fun tutorials LIVE!

First I decorated this double frame using the Raindrops on Roses paper pad and 

Sunkissed Fleurs from Heartfelt Creations. The front has a pocket for extra pics 

and here on the back you can see a space to write a to and from style

message on the right panel. Then on the left I made another pocket

and it is full of journaling panels to write little messages on.

You know I just LOVE the Birds and Blooms collection so I had

to use it and found a Spring pic for this frame of me and my hubby.

Lol it's rare I have a picture taken and I have used two of me here on my post!

So don't like having my picture taken!!!!!

    

Next I made some Memo holders, this first one is a 6" x 4" size frame and I 

decorated it with the Flowering Dogwood collection.

This is what I made and you can rewatch the live video HERE if you

wanted to see how to make one too! 

  

Then I made another larger 7" x 5" memo holder with the Classic Sunflower collection

this time decorating the back too where you can add a message too. 

    

Last but not least I had to use the roses I made and wore at CHA this year 

on a frame of Emma Lou and myself! 

I wanted to make a desk calendar too but I just ran out of time.....

but you could easily add a calendar to the front and decorate!

Have fun crafting!
