So Many Projects…

…so LITTLE time!  That is going to be my theme for my craft room ….whenever I get my craft room! I see new things everywhere that I would like to do, blogs, stores, friends homes and I’m not even a third of the way done with what I already have on my “project list”! Thankfully the list only exists in my head!
One of the projects that I have had in mind was to use vinyl on these dollar tree frames.

When I saw these in the store, I hoped that they would be done in true dollar store quality and that the “Friends” would just scrape off. I opened one right there in the store (I knew I would buy at least the one) and scraped with my fingernail…OFF it came! So I grabbed several for future projects.
They’ve just been sitting and waiting for the perfect project and time. I had a project opportunity come up Thursday. My sis in law was having us all (the sisters) over for lunch on Friday. It would be the first time I had been to her new home, so I wanted to bring her a gift. It was a little short notice for a very big project, but this was quick and easy and looked great when it was done!
I took the frame apart, scraped the letters off and washed the glass. Then I gave the wood a couple of coats of satin black spray paint. while it dried, I used my Craft Robo

vinyl cutter and cut out her last name and the year that they married.
Here is the end result:

This picture was taken with my phone after I had given it to my SIL…my girls had used it in black and white and I couldn’t figure out how to get it set back to color! I also removed the little hangers from the back and moved them so the frame would hang in “landscape mode”. I used some black and white ribbon for a hanger.
Quick, easy and thrifty! My kind of project!! I have a couple of giveaways coming up VERY soon…so stay tuned!
I found a new place to party:

I’ll also be linking up to the usual parties on the appropriate day.  Check out the buttons in my side bar and join me at these awesome parties!
Have an awesome Monday!
