A Talented Design Team Lets Me Join In!

It is such a joy to be a part of something you love. To spend time creating things you adore. To work alongside of the people you admire...

...I am so fortunate to know the beautiful owner, Stacey, of The Scrappy Boutique . I am proud to call her my friend. She is talented, funny, kindhearted. She is hard working, encouraging, brave. I adore her Boutique, an upscale scrapbook store offering the best of all the most popular lines. I have long since been a fan of her classes and crops and retreats...

...so when Stacey recently approached me about helping her with her new online store, Scrappy Boutique, I gladly accepted! It has been such a delight to get to know her team on yet another level. They are, as a whole, a deeply creative, dynamic and talented group of individuals. I have loved all they have offered to teach me and I am truly grateful for all of their encouragement and support as I learn the proverbial 'ropes!'

I was even more delighted this past week when these wonderful gals allowed me to become a part of

their fantastic Design Team! The amount of creativity and inspiration that you will find in this store is over the top. I continue to be amazed each and every time I see one of their new projects!

Please take a moment to stop by and check out all of the dynamite inspiration you will find both at Shop Scrappy Boutique . com  and at Scrappy Boutique ...and if you are local to central Florida, please hop over to The Scrappy Boutique...you will be so happy that you did!

Wire Frame - Before & After

When my friend Sandi asked me to "make this frame pretty" I knew just what to do with it. I recently gave a similar vintage frame an adorable makeover. With some shabby white paint and alot of sanding the frame itself is transformed...but it was still just a frame...so I removed the backing, print and glass and replaced these with rabbit wire. Once this was tacked in place I added vintage ledger paper (thank you my sweet friend Roben-Marie over at http://www.robenmariesmith.com/ for passing along these treasured goodies to me!) to the back edges of the frame giving it a final vintage touch. Now Sandi can use it as a vintage chic magnetic board or even hang her favorite baubles from it! Enjoy!

Pretty Vintage Frame Gets a Makeover

When I found this vintage frame I fell in love with it. It had beautiful scroll work and a lovely oval shape, but it was a yucky gold color. After a nice shabby coat of white paint and good sanding it looked amazing. I took the back off of the frame and removed the glass, added some rabbit wire and now it is a wonderful magnetic board. I also use it to hang things from, earring & hairclips, pins.I love, love it! I plan on doing a small collection of them, all shapes and sizes, that will hang near one another. I will try to post photos of that when the time comes. Enjoy!
