friday . . .

12.04.2009

Yes it is 1:30 am & I am still up - I'm a late night scrapper :)  Oh the days when Ryan used to nap for 2 - 3 hours and I could squeeze in a little scrapping time during the day - long gone - no napping these days!!  

Tonight I played with some more of the adorable Polar Expression line by Imaginisce. I found this cute shadowbox frame in the clearance section of TJ Maxx - only $3!!  It was pretty beat up but I thought with a little paint & the right scrappy goodies I might be able to bring it back to life :) Unfortunately I took the pics tonight - not the best lighting.  The really tricky part was taking a picture of glass - with all the glares & shadows it was tough!! I'll try & take some better pics later & replace these!! 
** now edited with better pics **


I just LOVED the winter wonderland rub-ons by Imaginisce - the perfect border to frame this!!! I wish you could see it in person - the pic doesn't show the cool depth to this shadowbox. Here's a close-up pf the little trees I made:



By the way - Imaginisce has 2 new lines coming out - Lucy Bird & Scooter's Vacation - they are both just too cute!!

There are some fabulous ideas using these lines here - check it out!!

We are heading out later today to DC for the ICE event at Gaylord National Resort - if you are local - check it out here!!  Have a wonderful Friday!!

    Julie this is just gorgeous!! I usually take the glass out when I am photographing altered frames and shadowboxes and that solves the glare issue. Have a fantastic weekend!

    How fun is that?!?!? Love how you rescued the shadowbox. Those tress are amazing! Did you use a scallop border punch for the backing? Loving the rolled paper border behind too~

    You did a beautiful job on this, Julie!! I love the rub-ons around the edges and the way you curled up the edges of the paper behind the trees. Such a cute line. I don't think I'd seen that one before.
