Beautifully Frame Your Cherished Photos With Nestaboard and Bling!

Hi everyone!

True :D here to share a couple of projects with you.

Now, I could have taken this darling photo of my grandson Joseph, and taped to to the refrigerator to display, but why just tape, when it's so easy to turn it into a beautifully framed piece of art?

I simply took a Want2Scrap - Nestaboard Labels Eighteen piece, covered it with a scrap piece of designer paper from my stash, and inked the edges.

After it dried, I adhered a photo and the "baby Joseph" pieces that I made from kraft cardstock. The beautiful finishing touches of 72 Count LeCreme Pearls and 72 Count Turquoise Rhinestones, add so much sparkle and shine! I added a couple of magnets to the back and placed it on my refrigerator so I can see my darling grand-baby every time I walk past it. ;)

I thought I would share a bonus project today as well.

I created this card for Inky Antics CHA board display.

It was created with one of my brand new stamp sets and designer papers!

The stamp is #11156MC "Swirly Butterflies" clear set, and the paper is my #IA-PAC002 Butterflies on Roses designer paper. 

I loved how this card turned out, but it wouldn't be nearly as pretty without adding the sweet 72 count Pink Pearls.

Tree Pose

Every year, I take photos of my kids with the same tree.  It's kind of like a growth chart, tracking how big they are (and how much the tree has grown) every year.  Each year, I scrap them individually and together with the tree.  This is the "together" photo, which they weren't terribly interested in posing for.  

I used some of my new Want2Scrap products on this layout, starting with one of the Fancy Framed Tags 2, which I coated with gesso (the easiest way to get a mice clean white).  Behind it I layered a Nestaboard Labels 18, which was colored with Ranger Distress Stain.   The letters got the same treatment, to help the overall layout feel coordinated.  

Thanks for taking a peek!

Thank you for stopping by my blog post today, crafty smiles,

Distress, no mess! Happy Thanksgiving!

It looks like another "get your hands messy" kind of day! I decided to create this tag to add to the planter that will sit at my Thanksgiving table using lots of Want2Scrap™ products .

A few details...

This is what you will need:
Distress ink or stains
Spray ink
Paint
Faber-Castrell Gelatos
Tag, water, paintbrush

I started off staining both the cardboard and Nestaboard™


Now add a little paint to the edges and crevices...you can use a brush or just a finger.

Now used distress inks to distress the edges of your materials.

Use the spray inks to distress your tag.

Color the envelope with gelatos and add a little water to them to spread. It brings on a water color type of look.


Hope you are enjoying your holiday and find time to get a little messy yourself!
