Don't forget my giveaway here!
I just can't leave well enough alone.
I just can't.
It is a curse sometimes.
I found this picture frame for $1!!!
You can kind of see in the picture, but this is why it was a dollar.
But it isn't anything a little wood putty can't fix.
Well not a little a LOT of woody putty.
Then for the center of the frame I used some leftover green fabric from the tabs of my no sew projects in the laundry room.
Then got my handy dandy glue gun.
I just glued the fabric right on the board.
Don't worry about making it pretty, cuz really who is going to be looking at the back of your picture frames.
If they do... then you have some weirdo friends. Or they are just incredible nosy.
Where was I?
Oh yeah how I can't leave well enough alone.
So I put fabric on the board and painted the frame that I puttied to death.
Oh and I almost forgot!
Remember my giveaway and review of the Cutting Edge Stencil from last week?
They sent me the Allium Gladiator stencil.
Notice there are two butterflies on the wall with the flowers.
The allium gladiator stencil came with the flower stencil and two butterfly stencils.
At the last minute I thought I would use one of the butterfly stencils.
I liked it.
I liked the stencil and the green fabric in the background, but I just wasn't in love with the big white frame.
I don't know why, just thought it was too plain or something.
Here is where I went on and I could have just left it alone.
I taped up the frame.
And then painted part of it blue.
I think I like it better.
But I can't decide.
Who knows, I may paint it all over tomorrow.
Oh well, come back tomorrow for another great giveaway worth $40... and maybe a whole new picture frame.
Don't forget my giveaway here!

i love it with the blue! i think it looks bold. what a great way to spend a dollar!
I like the blue, I think it ties the butterfly in! Last week a wrapped a frame in muslin and hot glued the heck out of it and I hated it. It took me 30 minutes to take all the fabric off. I almost tossed the frame because I paid a dime for it at a garage sale but I wouldn't let myself! So cute!
Haha I love the blue! Really looks great with the butterfly. :)
Your right, not white....Like the blue, but I guess we will have to wait until tomorrow to see if you do!!
