Girly Glittery Paper Frame

If you are the crafty scrappy type...then you are blessed with a special ability. You can see potential! That's what happened to me one afternoon at a thrift store 25-cent sale when I picked up a plain paper frame. Many others had passed it over, they couldn't even sell it for 29 cents...but when I looked at the plain brown hinged frame, I saw something dreamy, paid my quarter, and made my plans.

Here's how it all started.

 I've been working on some other scrappy projects, so I had my scrapbook papers, glitter and goodies very handy. I decided to cut strips for the front, and stamped a few bees on the bottom--perfect to go with my flowers and butterflies.

I fit squares of this sparkly butterfly paper for the back of the frames and kept it simple.

I have such a good time glittering!

I glittered my butterflies, a flower, and added a cute tag with a button.

Inbetween the frames, where the brown paper still showed, I colored in with blue pencils, dotted in some glue and glittered it. The effect looks like little jewels. Fun!

This is probably THE most inexpensive frame I've ever purchased--and now, one of my cutest frames ever. I've never had a paper picture frame before--but I'm keeping my eyes peeled for more!
