25 Days of Christmas: Day 10


Day 10: Altered Wood Box

I love using these cream wood boxes for projects - they are a great size and they already come painted, finished and have a really cool distressed look to them. For a few of the projects we did cover the front with other pieces, but what is great is the cream sides look great with almost anything you add to the front of the piece.

25 Days of Christmas: Day 8


Day 8: 12x12 Frame

Today I have some project ideas to share with you that all use our 12x12 MDF Frame. This is such a great sized frame - pattern paper fits it perfectly, and it is just enough space to create a great layout. Plus you can use a standard sized photo, as the photo opening is 4x4".  You can find supply lists and project instructions for each of the frames by clicking on the project names below.
