Hi, OA fans! It's Mandy bringing you this weeks Monday challenge. This week I'm challenging you to frame it. Scrolling below to the examples that Roree and I created to share with you today you'll see that this challenge can be interpreted in many different ways: layouts with frames, altered art, cards etc.
It's no secret that I love frames I have them scattered throughout my home and I am always incorporating frames into my scrapbook designs. When I sat down to create I knew I would be making a layout with the new Apple Cider collection.
Don't worry it's not your eyes this layout is a little angled with wonky frames and layers. I thought the memory cards, snap caps, and flash blurbs would be great cut up into frames and they did indeed turn out just how I wanted. I love the fall colors in the Apple Cider line and it worked perfectly with some recently snapped photos.
The very talented Roree played along with this weeks and made this adorable frame, here is what she had to say.
"When Mandy suggested that we do a frame challenge, I was all for it! Instead of creating a traditional rectangular or square frame though, I thought a shape would be fun. Since I just received my daughter's school picture a few days ago, I thought it would be perfect for a school-theme frame. With a picture and a theme in mind, I got out the Milk Money collection and got to work. I cut out an apple from the Reading and Spelling patterned papers, added a little machine stitching, and then layered a doily, a couple of Memory Cards, my photo, some dotted ribbon, and a Flash Blurb on the apple shape. I added a Button and Designer Brad from the 9 to 5 collection to finish. I plan on adding some magnets to the back of my frame and giving it a prime spot on my refrigerator for everyone to see."
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you feel inspired to create a frame project! If you do please share them in the October Afternoon Flickr Gallery.
