Lynne Marini brought this gorgeous "altered frame" to our Luv 2 Stamp Group meeting on Saturday, it was made by Tracey Shaver of Ohio… it’s GORGOUS and everyone loved it!!

I have had a few "plain" frames lying around that I’ve been meaning to cover for quite awhile, and after seeing this one, I thought I HAVE TO DO THIS!  So I got out one of my plain frames and covered it with some Brocade Background paper that I stamped with the Priceless set.  I added a tag from the "Tagged" tin framed with a piece of HodgePodge Hardware and to top it all off, some new Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon from the Holiday Mini catalog!  {That ribbon is tooooooooooooo yummy!}

I added brads on top of 1/2" punched out circles to the upper right corner to balance the accessories in the lower left corner:

I used Sticky Strip around the perimeter of the back of the frame, and "wrapped" the frame like a package to adhere the paper to the frame. 

P.S.  the best part about this altered frame…. I got it at the .99 cent store!!  You can cover any inexpensive frame and make it a one-of-a-kind work of art!  You can also purchase wood frames to alter and use Mod Podge to adhere the paper directly to the frame.
