I've Been Busy!


I have been working on some scrapping projects for challenges and such and realized that I haven't posted since last Saturday!  Wow!  I just finished helping my daughter make a frame for a friend of hers.   She wanted it kind of simple.  Her friend is getting married in December and her colors are black and pink/rose.   I hope she'll like it.  I also had to make an ornament for a swap which I need to finish tonight and mail out tomorrow.  Besides that I have to make 8 Xmas tags to be mailed for a swap on Monday and have 17 more Xmas tags for another swap due the 27th.  Whew!  I have a tendency of waiting until the last minute and then I just crank it up and work, work, work!  It always gets done, but I stress out too much in the process!   This frame, though, is missing something.  My daughter just wants it as is, but I think it needs more.  What do you think?  The photo doesn't show it that well, but the black paper is embossed with some shine and glitter to it.  I heat embossed the swirls along the edges (to hide the black paint smudges from painting the edges!).   Shhhhh.........

Thanks for looking,
Lori

Ahhh, now I know why my daughter wanted so much space to be left 'empty'. She added her own decorations to it. I didn't take a picture of it--didn't have my camera, but it came out nice. Oh and thanks Nicki for my award!
