Nannan Frame

Good morning all, hope you had a good weekend. Today's project is one a friend asked me to make for her mum for her 50th birthday on Sunday. 

She sent me an image of something she had seen online and asked if I could make something similar. 

So I popped off down to The Range and picked up a big box frame and some wooden hearts from Hobbycraft and set to work. 

I printed the sentiment from the computer using a dark brown font on to Neenah Desert Storm Card from Crafters Companion. 

Then I wrote on the hearts with a Sakura Micron Pen in brown ink. 

A ribbon bow, some twine and a button and it was all finished.

 And I am pleased to say Zoe loved it and so did her mum. Hope you do too. 

Take care and I'll see you soon.

It's a puzzle

Good morning crafty friends, hope you are all well. I have the lurgy again (tonsillitis) so have been back to the doctors for more antibiotics. Which I then had a reaction to, anyway I have different ones now so hopefully I will be on the mend soon. But because I haven't been feeling well, I haven't really done any crafting, so I decided that while I was resting I would do the name frame for me, that I have wanted to do for months. Thinking it would be an easy relaxing job! ha ha. 

So I got an old Scrabble board and cut it down slightly to fit in a 12 x 12 inch frame.  Then I got all the letters out that I would need for the 23 names in our family. That is when the fun started lol. After puzzling over this (easy) job for quite some time, and nearly getting everyone on a few times, I eventually had to call in some back-up from Jude. Then it still took us over an hour to go from this.....

.....to this. Yeah, we finally got there, and managed to get everyone on, although I must admit we haven't used that 'important' middle square lol.

Then all I had to do was glue all the letters down and fit the board in it's frame.

This will now be going on our staircase somewhere I think. Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Name frames

Good morning all, I have had a request for a couple more of the Scrabble tile name frames this week. So this is what they turned out like. 

I had to buy a big 12 x 12 frame for this first one as it needed to have 9 names in it. 

I added a little bird and an owl to finish it off.

This second one is much smaller so could go in a standard 10 x 8 frame. 

And this one just had a little bird added to the corner. 

They are both very simple but elegant I think. Hope you like them too.

Take care, see you soon.

Another name frame

Good morning all. Hope you don't mind but thought I'd share another name frame with you this morning. 

I made this one for my grandsons and their mum and their little dog Bella. 

It's the same as before, very simple. The most complicated thing about them is working out where the names fit together lol. 

I decorated this one with a wooden butterfly and some pearls. Then a small Studio Calico sentiment in the top corner. 

Hope you like it, I know Vicky did. 

See you soon. Take care.

Name Frame

Good morning all, hope you are having a good Easter weekend.

Today's post is another one of the name frames. I made one for Mum a few weeks ago and now the girls have spotted it and want one too. So today's is for my daughter K and her family.

I went with a white frame this time to match her décor.

She even wanted the dogs including lol!

Very simple again, just needed to create a few more letters as there aren't enough Ys, Hs, and Zs in a set of scrabble tiles lol.

I finished it off with a few wooden embellishments, I love the little owl from John Lewis, he's so cute.

Hope you like it too, see you soon, take care.

Scrabble tiles

Good morning all hope you are well today. 

Today's post is something different, not a card today, but a little box picture frame that I have done for Mum. 

I've had the old scrabble tiles for over a year now but only used a few of them. But I've seen quite a few pics with them on recently so I thought I would give it a go. 

Nothing complicated to it at all. Just getting the names in the right order so they fit in a frame and glue them down with cosmic shimmer. 

I added a couple of little wooden hearts and then some pearl hearts to finish it off. But try as I might I could not photograph it without some reflection in the glass!

Hope you like it. See you soon. 

Take care
