Beautiful Brianna

The beauty of these frames come from their simplicity. These frames measure 8X8 inches and are trimmed in a pale pink. The outer frames are covered in a white paper with multicolored flowers throughout. The center frame is a muted purple with tiny pale pink dots. A strip of the flowered paper lines the top of the center frame and Brianna is written in the same pale pink that borders the outside. The 'B' in Brianna displays a bow tied with a small pink ribbon. The bottom of this frame contains 3 of the flowers from the outer frames cut out, painted with glitter, and has a colored brad in the center to complete the flower look. These flowers are attached to the frame with a 3D adhesive to add a bit of dimension. Each of the outer frames contain 5 of these same flowers. $25 + shipping.



Shay's Butterflies

Shay's butterflies are a work of art! These frames are 8X8 inches and trimmed in a bright purple paint. They are covered with 2 different papers, a plaid and a flower print. The center frame is simply the plaid and the outside frames are the flower print with a little plaid ripped and placed at the top. The center frame is lined at the top and bottom with rick rack and the two outer frames have a bright pink ribbon with sequin flowers running down the sides and a muted green lining the bottoms. The outer frames also contain yellow staples randomly placed. The best part of these frames are the 3 hand-painted butterflies and 1 hand-painted dragonfly that add that final feminine touch. $25 + shipping.



Shay's Butterflies 8X10

The larger frame takes Shay's butterflies to the next level. This one is a bit brighter and a bit bigger! This frame holds an 8X10 photo but can easily hold a 5X7 or up to 4 4X6 photos. This frame uses the same paper as the 8X8 Shay's butterflies but has an added bright purple glitter paper. A white picket fence is added to this frame to add create a fun garden feel. There are 6 butterflies- 3 large and 3 small. They are hand painted and a bit of glitter is added for shimmer. A name can easily be added at the top left to personalize this frame a little more. Perfect for any girly-girl!  $25 +shipping

Leland's Letters

This set was inspired by the first baby of a friend. This frame shouts boy as different blue and green papers are ripped and placed on an 8X10 inch frame. Rustic plaid,  bright letters, and bright blue paper are used to frame this photo. Light green rick rack span the top as a very thin green ribbon runs down the side. 6 green buttons threaded in off-white are placed on the ribbons. Clusters of green staples are added throughout to add a little texture. The word 'baby' is distressed in green and blue but can easily be replaced by a specific name.  In the bottom right corner a sleeping baby cuddles a small dinosaur while wrapped in a denim blanket sewn shut with another green button. This frame holds a 5X7 photo but photo corners have been added to hold a 4X6 as well. It also comes with another small frame holding 2 3X3 inch pictures, painted in the same distressed bright green as the outside of the larger frame. $20 + shipping.




Megan's Zoo

These fun frames are different from any other!  This is a set of 3- 2 measuring 8X8 inches and one measuring 14X14 inches. The small ones are covered with a girly polka-dot paper and trimmed with a bright green. Each of the small ones have pink pearl shell beads threaded with a bright pink embroidery floss randomly placed on the dots of the paper. A watercolor completes the animal theme with an elephant and a giraffe. The same water color idea continues to the large frame where a picture of various animals is placed. The large frame is painted the same bright green on the face but pink is painted in the shadow of the frame to add dimension. A striped pink and green ribbon spans the bottom and at the top where Megan's name is found. It is painted the same pink as the shadow. The 'g' is embellished with a tiny light pink bow and the 'm' and 'n' have special animal buttons attached to them. The large frame displays the same polka dot paper and has different sized opaque green dots attached. This frame holds 3 4X6 inch photos (two tall and one long) with photo corners and comes with a small paper name plate for Megan's birth height and weight but may be replaced by a wallet photo.  Perfect for a new nursery. $35 + shipping.






Tyson's Jungle

This fun set was custom designed for my nephew. Each frame measures 8X8 inches and holds a 3 1/4 X 3 1/4 photo. A fun water design paper is used on the two outside frames and a jungle print sets the center frame apart. This one is embellished with a light green rick rack containing brads of coordinating colors, small textured bubble stickers, and small rubber plastic frogs for the final 3 dimensional touch. The phrase "jumped off a lily pad and goes ker-plop" completes the frog theme. Tyson's name is painted bright yellow to match the edges of the frames and the same bubbles are on his name to tie it together. $25 + shipping.






Lexi's Garden

3 1/4 X 3 1/4 photograph. The edges are painted antique white. These frames are embellished with a fun polka dot and flower print paper.

The center frame is personalized with a name painted in the same antique white that trims the frames. 2 spiral clips are added for that perfect touch.
