Jennifer Priest and The Hydrangea Hippo

Today we are featuring scrap booker extraordinaire and all around talented crafter, Jennifer Priest of  The Hydrangea Hippo.  Jennifer said to just grab a tutorial off her blog so I chose her tutorial on altering garage sale frames.

****************************

I bought some frames at a yard sale earlier this summer and finally got around to washing them off. I spray painted them black and then started decorating the insides. Here's the result:

Then I added paper to Chipboard to insert into the opening in each frame.

I added foam tape between layers of chipboard to make them thicker so I could tape the insert in place on the back of the frame. I could have used cardboard instead too.

And here is the final result, in my daughter Katie's room:



At some point I think I might add some ribbon roses or those rolled felt flowers but for now, I am happy with these simple graphic frames. The paper is Teresa Collins' Chic Bebe Girl Line, leftover from the Divaliscious albums kits I had sold in my etsy shop earlier this year. The K was cut with my Silhouette from SEI suede paper--I love the rich black it is!
