FUN FRIDAY

Instead of Fun Fold Friday, it is Fun Frame Friday.  I had plenty of time to work on this since our home was in the area that got bombarded with rain over the last week.  Thankfully I live high enough that I was not flooded, but there are many in our area that need our prayers.  I saw a frame like this on Pinterest, created by Gloria Plunket.  I took her idea and ran with it.  Here is my version, what I did, and how I created it.

The "O" is attached with Velcro and I made one for each month.  This one is September.  The rest are in order from January through December.

I used some retired and current products to create the monthly circles.

I started with a piece of Vanilla Cardstock measuring 6 x 8.  I thought that picture frames came in that size, but found out that is not the case.  Therefore mine is in an 8 x 8 frame.

I first scored my vanilla piece at 3/4" both horizontally and vertically using my Simply Scored.  When scoring on the 6" side, you can begin at the edge and score every 3/4".  It will come out evenly.  When scoring the 8" side, start at 4" in the middle and score 3/4" to the left and the right so that you end up with 1/4" on each side.

I wanted a little background so this was perfect.  It also gave me a way to keep my letters lined up straight for my project.

Then I took a piece of black c.s also at 6 x 8 and cut out a piece measuring 4 1/2 x 7 1/2 to make my hole.

I added Washi Tape to the top and bottom black edge, centered and glued my letters on, leaving a space for the "O" pictures.  I added a Velcro Dot where the "O" would be.

I adhered this frame onto an 8 x 8 sheet of Champagne Foil with Fast Fuse, using a little extra behind the spot where the Velcro is, since that will be tugged at to remove the "O" pieces.

I am really excited about how this turned out.  I LOVE it!  I think I will make a couple more as gifts or to sell at a Christmas craft show.  I hope it will go a little more quickly since I now have the idea, measurements and thoughts about what to do for each month.

If you would like me to make one for you, leave a comment below.  I will be charging $18, plus S & H if that is necessary.
