Sleeping Cat turned Butterfly

I found this frame at my local thrift store and thought it would make for a cute project. The original picture was of a sleeping kitty. I have nothing against sleeping cats, but I didn't think it would make for a cute decor piece in a little girls room. I do, however, think that some butterflies are an essential part of little girl decor.


I first took the backing off (it was that brown paper that is glued to the frame) and then removed the "painted" image of the cat. I just covered it with some super cute scrapbook paper.


Then I took my MS butterfly punch and punched several butterflies in varying paper that coordinated. I glued just the bodies down so that the wings to be raised to give it a 3-D look. I just eyeballed my spacing...

I just love the way it turned out, and it goes perfectly in my daughters room.

Spring Frame

I have been itching to make a Spring/Easter craft this morning. So, instead of doing laundry, I made a spring themed frame.

I found the frame at the $$$ store yesterday, they only had one. I am going to check other stores and see if I can find any more. They are perfect to use. The window opening is 4x4.

I found some inspiration on Etsy this morning and the juices just started flowing. I love when that happens! :)

The paper is Amy Butler and Making Memories (garden party).
