I saw this post back in August of last year!
I bookmarked it in my fav’s under “projects I want to do” & decided a couple of days ago that I was finally going to attempt to make one.
I had 3 of the same black 8×8 frames from Ikea that had been sitting on the shelf in my laundry room since we moved back in July & I had taken this great pic of my friend Brenda-Lee & her daughter Kayley at Christmas.
This is what I did:
I used a butterfly theme because I absolutely adore them & what they stand for.
I found this Irish Blessing on the web after searching for “butterflies” & than I saw that Lauren Meader of My Time Made Easy has this Irish Blessing in acrylic stamp form…very cool!
I put 2 hooks in the back of the frame & tied some black organdy ribbon on them to hang the frame.
I absolutely love how this frame turned out, I personally think it’s gorgeous, I was soooo excited to give it to Brenda-Lee today AND I can’t wait to make my other 2 frames into gorgeous artwork for my walls.
