EASY-PEAZY Picture Frame Turorial

 Start out with some left over beadboard, cut it to the measurements you need -depending on the size of picture you use. I used Acrylic paint that I had lying around to paint into the grooves, then wipe clean with a wet rag.

 I used a lot more paint for the frames below, to give it a more distressed look. -Then cut some foam core board the same size as your picture. Use spray adhesive to attach the picture to the foam core. Then use a high bond glue to attach the foam core to your board. I used 5x7 pictures, I cut my boards to 11x11.

 Add some ribbon or netting and your done! you could drill two holes in the top, and string some ribbon through to hang it, or set it in an easel which is what I prefer to do.

Virus..turned Sinus Infection, a new roof, and a funeral!

So Sorry for the absence, I haven't felt like crafting lately, nor blogging about it. I went to the Doc exactly a month ago today, and I am STILL sick! I cannot seem to get rid of whatever I have got... antibiotics, oils, herbs... nothing is helping! Plus in the middle of all this my sweet Aunt Susie passed away leaving a hole in my heart. Oh and to top it off, I had to get up on the roof with my sweet hubs and scrape all the shingles of our roof aagghhh!!!!
Here's to a better month!!!  I love November and the Holiday cheer it helps to ring in. I am hoping I can start posting some fab Christmas crafts and gift ideas very shortly... stay tuned!
