It's almost the big day! Yes, I love Valentine's Day. I find I make lots of projects for this special occasion, and today I'm going to share a photo frame I altered.
I really like this pic of BabyOfTheFamily, taken last Fall. I actually designed this frame for display in the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L booth at CHA. All the heart embellishments are made with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L designer shapes called 3D Foam Hearts.
I used BoBunny's paper collection "Head Over Heels"
Today my photo frame is being featured on the Crafty Power Blog, along with my tutorial on how I created that jar of hearts. Click HERE to see tutorial. Here is another Valentine project I created that was also on display at CHA last month: a Valentine card.
That cute clear pocket of sequins and glitter is Keepsake Envelope, another product I love from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. The light pink/black stripes across the top and bottom are actually E-Z Squares tape runner that I heat embossed! Thanks for coming by! I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day tomorrow!
I have long admired the beautiful photo displays that scrapbookers design to showcase their family photos. Kaisercraft has a number of wonderful photo frames, and I decided to alter their "Swap Card Photo Display."

I chose 3 photos of my children from our Fall photo shoot...
The background is ONE piece of paper...un-cut!
"Pistachio"
And the embellishments are from the Pickled Pear Sticker, along with Kaisercraft black Paper Blooms and Pewter Pearls...
I also used some copper wire and scrap pieces of corrugated cardboard...
I painted the raw frame with Ranger's Claudine Hellmuth Black Gesso. Here is a video tutorial that shows my quick and easy painting technique along with a closer look at the finished tray.
