It's a Frame Up!!

Last week, my sweet friend, HoneyBee Rosemary, gave each of us a white frame, provided a nice selection of assorted embellishments, and our challenge was to create whatever we wanted with it!

DCWV Linen Closet paper, Prima and Martha Stewart flowers, and Sizzix punched leaves were a great start.  I had the perfect dotted sheer ribbon, and a package of frisky little bumble bees, which add a lot of life and dimension, in and out of the frame.  The daisies are punched with an EK Success punch, and are colored with Copics. 

Here are my HoneyBee Sisters!  Being together was the most wonderful time, and this framed photo will be a delightful reminder of so much fun.  It will have a very special place of honor in Studio Bee. 

Please pop over to BettyBee's Buzz, and see how the other girls did their frames, and HoneyBee Beth has created the most charming buttoned frame with her adorable grandkids!! 

Back soon!  Happy creating ~

Nursery Lamp Project Published!!!

I am excited to share my first officially published project with you. It was in the March issue of Ready, Set, Create E-Magazine!!! (and I couldn't post it for 30 days!) This was a special Altered Project issue, and it was loaded with super ideas...and I was so delighted to be asked to submit a piece! I also learned that it isn't easy to do something with just three photos and five steps...and the five steps aren't supposed to be paragraphs! LOL Well, you can see my three photos, and the five steps included cutting out the frame, name, boat, stars, and red trim. The white pieces are embossed. Then it's all put together, and VOILA'!! A great light for Porter's Nursery. Are you inspired to do something fun for someone you love? It's easy peasy....give it a try! I even saw pre-drilled glass blocks in the craft store the other day :o)

Happy Crafting!
