Michael's Crop Night

Tonight was crop night at Michael's.  Tal and I had a great time.   Take a look at some of the projects she completed today!   It was so much fun helping her.  They turned out wonderful.  


This is her 3 beautiful children.  This was a quick and fun project.  She used Martha Stewart Punch Around The Page punch set to create the border around the mats.  The background is from a beautiful set of paper's she had previously purchased.   The frames were on clearance at Michael's.  A whopping $2.99 each.   Now she has 3 beautifully framed pictures of her children to hang up in her home.



Look at this project!   She made this to hang in her daughter's room.   This turned out so cute!


This project was simple and quick too.   The first thing you need to buy is the 3 mat frames.  These are the card board type that you normally put inside a frame.   Then she chose a background paper.  She chose pink to match her daughter's room.   We inked the frames inside and out with a dark brown.  The little girls are from the Cricut cartridge - Paper Doll Dress Up.   She made the Princess, Ballerina and the hula girl.   To add some additional dimension, she pop dotted them so they stood out a little.  Then to connect the frames she chose a pink ribbon a little over an inch wide.  By leaving a small space when gluing down the back ground she was able to thread the ribbon through.  We then secured it down.  Then we used the same ribbon to create a hanger by attaching it to the back of the top picture.  To finish it off she added 3 dimensional butterflies on top of the ribbons.
