Framed Book Page Tutorial

I decided that I would treat you to a tutorial on how I make my framed book pages. Are you wanting to learn how I do it? Here we go...

Choose a frame and get a piece of foam core or cardboard.

Pencil a line from the inside of frame onto the foam core. Make sure you put your pencil inside the area of the frame inset. Use a razor blade or knife to cut out the shape. Trial fit the foam core

My New Use for Chalk Paint!

11:36 Bigger No comments

I've always loved white pumpkins and enjoyed using them in my Fall decor last year. I want to add more in this year; however, I can't seem to find little ones ANYwhere. Soooo, I bought a box of these little cuties at Wal-Mart and introduced them to my AS Old White chalk paint!

Before:

VOILA!

Now to finish the rest of them! I look forward to showing you soon where I used these little cuties.

Thank you, Annie! And, just think, everyone, you could paint pumpkins any of the chalk paint colors you have to tie in with your color palettes! I bet a few Duck Egg Blues, with a hint of dark wax would be fabulous! Hmmmm ... might have to try that myself. LOL

I hope everyone has fun plans for the weekend. We're hitting the beach with friends and watching college football tomorrow. Speaking of football, I had fun making this USC Gamecock wreath for a friend of mine ... I have a few more orders to fill. Don't you just love Fall ?!

Thanks for stopping by!

My Home, Views from my balcony

Breath-taking Views

09:38 Bigger No comments

Lot of my friends and fellow bloggers have came back after few months of hibernation and so I am. Here is the reason why I'd been away from my dear friend Blogger. My dear friends I was lost in these breath-taking views that I got opportunity to view from my own lovely balcony.

Everyday a new, refreshing, enchanting & cherishing view. This lovely weather has given me opportunity to click lot of wonderful pictures of mother nature and I am enjoying every bit of it. Besides this I was busy doing some DIY projects that I'll going to show you soon. Do visit this place frequently for some lovely inspirations :-)
