Giving the gift of a TIOT

First of all, I'd like to apologize for not offering another card post for SCACD last week. Time really seems to be running away from me as of late. I'm really trying to pull myself together and it has been a chore lately to find time to stamp. I hope you will all bare with me!

This week's TIOT we were challenged to create a gift and luckily my husband's neice had a birthday recently so I decided to alter a frame for her (aside from a Littlest Petshop Nintendo DS game we got her). I used the ultra cute Susan stamp from the exclusive Elisabeth Bell line for SCACD.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

The Elisabeth Bell images are so perfect for that "girly girl" room and the colors I used blended nicely with her bedroom decor.

Altered Frame Recipe:

Stamp: Susan by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD

Ink: StazOn black

Paper: SU Raspberry Tart designer paper, SU cs ( Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Old Olive), watercolor paper

Accessories: art frame from Target, hot pink rhinestones, pink & white gingham ribbon, Cricut machine, Cricut Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, watercolor markers

I will be off to Orlando on Tuesday for the Summer CHA convention so I'm hoping the time away from the everyday hustle and bustle will do me some good!
