The Always Changing Picture Frame

I have certainly gotten tons of mileage out of this old picture frame.

I haven't changed it's place on the wall, or it's color.  

I've just been changing the inside content to reflect the holiday/season 

by popping out the old and replacing it with something new.

It was first introduced back at Christmas framing out some festive 

pattern paper covered chipboard letters.

After Christmas, it exuded a bit of love.  

This time with painted chipboard letters mounted to music sheet collage paper

Now, it's alive with springy, Eastery colors.  

This picture was actually a page from a past year's calendar.  

Mmmm . . . wonder what I'll come up with next?

Little Books for Big Memories

I have a thing for mini photo books.  

Mini scrapbooks to be exact.  

Two little books created for big Christmas memories.

Shame I didn't take any pics at Christmastime this year.  

Still kicking myself about that. 

As a matter of fact, I have a whole bin of finished mini scrapbooks and photo albums.  

And a bunch more yet to be assembled.

Some were made at classes attended at scrapbook conventions and retreats.  Some where made as samples for classes I used to teach at a local scrapbook store.  And some where made from kits I'd purchased here and there.

Funny, out of all the ones I have finished, only a couple have photos in them!  Obviously I like making these little photo books more then I do snapping photos.

Well, I certainly have enough photos laying around that I really should start filling some of them.  

Maybe that could be one of my New Year's goals.  ;o)

SPOOKIFIED

We're ready for fright night.

To make your own spooky concoction labels, go here.  

Print 'em out and soak it in a tea bath for a old vintage look.

 My favorite witch image.  I've used her in a lot of projects.

Most of those books, up there, covered in brown kraft paper, wrapping paper and Chinese newspaper, is our Harry Potter book series.  I bought several Chinese newspapers on a shopping trip to NYC one year to use in projects and wrapping gifts.

There she is again ;o)

I'm sure at times my kids would certainly agree with that sign! 

Are you ready for the ghosts, goblins and ghouls?

I'm happy to be linking up with Liz at

FROM THE HEART

Actually, a mini album that IS a heart.

I created this little album for Hubby . . . gosh . . . two, maybe three years ago for V'day.  I never finished it with photos, because photos of the two of us are extremely scarce.  

You see, we both HATE having our picture taken.  

Me especially.  

I either end up with my eyes closed, or making a goofy face.

A few nights ago, I was able to scrape up enough snaps of the two of us to fill this small album and finally complete it.  I will have to admit that most of the photos 

I really don't like. 

Gotta work with what I got!

I think Hubby kinda likes it.  Each one of the photos was from a special occasion.  It's fun to look at these pics and remember the good times we were having when they were snapped.

That will have to be a future post ~ how to feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Hope you all have a fabulous Valentine's Day, and can incorporate even just a bit of extra love in whatever you do!
