Krazy Crafting Crew March Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to Krazy Crafting Crew's monthly hop!  This month we are bringing you frames - altered and spiced up!  Just perfect for redecorating for spring.  This month our hostess is Robin at Scrap and Chat, if you didn't get here by way of Robin's blog please go back so you don't miss any of the fabulous projects this month and to be eligible for the SSS give-a-way.

So here is my 'altered frame'...

This is a floating frame, meaning there are two pieces of glass
with nothing in between. Everything is made with vinyl.  The tree with my
family names is on the back glass, and the words "Our Family"
are on the front piece of glass. The names are kind of hard to see
in the picture, but they are on both sides of the tree
on most of the branches.

It will eventually find it's home here on my entryway wall, for this picture
I just replaced a frame I had up there, so the placement is way off, but
I wanted to show you the general idea.  I actually need a ladder to re-arrange
all these photos and I didn't have time to get that accomplished yet.

Here is how I created this masterpiece!  Using the silhouette design studio software
I simply laid everything out.  I did a copy paste of the tree over itself so I could move
the tree with the names off the mat to cut and still have the exact
placement of the names even though I needed to cut the tree
without the names on it also.  "Our Family" was made by doing an offset of the original words to make
a small shadow or base layer so that I could cut it it two colors.

I hope you enjoyed my frame, I really enjoyed sharing it with you.  Remember to comment on all the blogs today to be eligible to win our group's blog candy.


Our monthly sponsored blog candy is from Scrapbook Stamp Society!

 They are giving away 3 sets of stamps to one lucky winner that comments on all blogs

Here is what the sketch inspired me to make..

All scraps!  Even the main mat is missing a section that I had cut out for something else
The letters are a mix of Thickers, Creative Memories, CTMH and some way off brand that I found on clearance 

I have four grandsons, these are the 'middle' two, they are a year apart and even though they are as different as day and night they seem to want to hang around each other all the time. The reason for the "K"'s is that is a page in one of the boys' ABC's of book and I needed a "K" page (yeah a stretch I know)..... I swear we do feed them too!  Can you believe these two little guys play tackle football????

Be Mine Blog Hop

Welcome to the Be Mine Blog Hop hosted by the ever popular Ashley The Bloghop Princess.  If you didn't get here by way of Diana's blog, you will want to start at the beginning with our hostess's blog.  Ashley is offering wonderful blog candy and you can find all the requirements by reading her post.  You don't want to miss out!

Celebrating Valentine's Day is style is what we are bringing you today.  Make sure you hop all the way through so you don't miss all the inspiration that is sure to come your way.

My project today is a banner of sorts.  I don't really know what else to call it LOL.  It's not the typical hang across your wall banner, it hangs down.

I made all the cuts with my brand new Cameo.  I love this little machine.  I originally thought I would only use it for vinyl, but I fell in love with the images in the Silhouette store and decided I had to master paper too.  All the cuts you see here are from the Silhouette store.  When I first saw those adorable arrow words I just knew I had to make something with them and I could only imagine them hanging on the wall. 

 I found the frame and the whole project just came together. I cut each arrow twice just to make them a little thicker and to lay better.  Twine hangs between each arrow and some Stickles and rhinestones finishes them off.  I hope you liked my project and as a thank you for hopping with us today and leaving me a comment I would like to offer you a chance for some valentine love of your own.

Some valentine tags and flowers to help you finish off those valentines you're making!

The next stop on our lovely stop is Ann!
