Clear Scraps Project Post

Hi everybody! Leslie here, sharing an embellished frame of treasured memories created with the Friends XL Wood Frame. This piece is huge and wonderful! It was definitely a fun project – from picking out the three photos I wanted to use, to the actual creation with pretty papers and flowers and the assembly! Brought back so many memories! 

I started by tracing each letter backwards on the back side of the patterned papers and fussy cutting each one. I did the same with the three frames at the bottom using solid colors of cardstock.

I adhered acetate to the back of the three frames to keep the photos clean and dust-free (which unfortunately casts weird shadows on the photos so I apologize for that).

I adhered the fussy-cut patterned paper letters and cardstock frames, and heavily distressed the edges. 

I added paper flowers and die cut greenery, and a couple bamboo cord bows. 

And then added a few gemstones to the frames to complete the project.
