Wednesday Showcase At The Hive

Today at Betty Bees Buzz is all about frames.......how do you frame your favorite photo's, we would love to see over at the hive so please post your favorite frame projects and link them up so we can come see.

On Monday Rosemary posted a really beautiful frame with a picture of the Honeybee's sorry I am not in it couldn't make the retreat in Fl. but sure looks like I missed a great time.



For my frame I did a blank canvas that I first painted with acrylic paints than added some Basic Grey DP with Mod Podge I than added my photo's of my goofy grandkids with their wild hair with more mod podge, pleated a strip of  fabric and stapled onto the frame glued buttons to top added ruler tape to the side along with some stickers Easy Peasy.

That's it for me today have a great one and be sure and stop by the Hive to see the rest of the HoneyBees great projects.
