Quilled Photoframe |
Dear friends Thank you so much for the encouraging comments on my first water-coloring attempt in the Baby theme box ! It has really helped to boost my morale !! Every year my daughter and I sit down to make something for her teachers for Teachers day which is celebrated on Sept 5 in India. Last year I was quite overwhelmed as I made more than 10
CD case notebooks and got thoroughly stressed! So this year for teachers day,undertook an easier craft- handmade photoframes !We recycled desktop calendars into easy do it yourself web diyphotoframes [see tutorials :
Photoframe tutorial 1,
Photoframe tutorial 2,

Quilled flowers |
My little girl played an active role in making this particular one. The original base was a dull blue and none of our flowers and embellishments seemed to match it so I gave my ink pad to my kiddo and she randomly inked the blue corrugated paper frame base with purple!I had made these quilled flower buds some time back so just adding some pollens and stamped leaves helped us to quickly make our photoframe.

For a dash of white to balance all the pink and purple added some lacey hearts with a few pearls to notch up the oomph factor!

Foam roses |
The pink roses are made from foam [ you all know how much I adore foam!!] and the leaves are cut from glittery card using the Cheery Lynn flourish leaf die.The stem is a diamond chain salvaged from a dress[ you have seen it in
Sunflower layout and
Fairyland diorama and will be seeing more if it till I strip the whole chain from my dress!! LOL ]

In this side view you can see the photoframe standing on its own. What I have seen is that though we crafters can admire and drool over cards like crazy, non-crafters seems to appreciate gifts with a bit of utility function like a photoframe, a post it note holder etc much more than cards ! ......Please do share your experience about this ?
Supplies-
