12 Days of Christmas - Day 8 - Dollar Tree Pictures

You've got to be kidding me!  It's December 14th and I'm just now on Day 8....how did I get so far behind?!?!

Holiday parties and room redo's...that's how!!

So, without further ado....here is a project I made from frames I got at the Dollar Tree and scrapbook papers.  So they are super CHEAP!!! :)

Here is what the frame looked like before:

Not the worst thing I've ever seen at the DT...but I knew it could be improved upon!

So, I took the whole thing apart.

Yes, this picture is showing a different matte than the black and white one.

Then I put glue onto my matte and stuck the scrapbook paper to it.  After it dried (if your patient enough, which I'm not, but you really should wait) I used my Xacto knife to cut around the matte.

Then I reassembled my frame.

I used Gorilla Glue and weighed it down while it dried (this time I really had to wait).

While I waited I finished the center.  I used Christmas scapbook paper again, I cut the sleigh shape out of one of the pieces of paper and glued it onto a pretty background paper.

And here is what it looks like complete!

I will not lie....this sleigh is my absolute favorite!!!!  LOVE IT!!! :)

But I did complete a couple more, using the same steps as above.

I cut a Poinsettia out of scrapbook paper for this one.



And for this is one, I used a scrap piece of burlap and stamped a Christmas tree on it.

Each frame was less than $2!!  Not too shabby if I don't say so myself! :)

Until tomorrow....
