collage picture frame

Today's project is my favorite kind... I didn't go to the store to buy anything to complete it.  I had an old shadow box that has been sitting around... I am always looking for frames at garage sales... they are so cheap and have so much crafting potential.

This shadow box came with a white mat... I cut up scraps of scrapbook paper and glued them onto the mat.

I love the chevron and the polka dot... both from October Afternoon. http://octoberafternoon.typepad.com/  The stickers are October Afternoon too.

I bought the Jolee's stickers http://jolees.eksuccessbrands.com/dept/French+General.aspx at Michael's when they were 40% off.  They were expensive but absolutely gorgeous.  I've been saving them for a special project.

I covered a piece of cardboard with burlap and some scrapbook paper.  Next I arranged the little button cards underneath the picture.  I wish you could see them in person... they are so beautiful.

I love everything about it.  I could do my whole house in these colors!

Here is one of the models, my youngest Isabelle.
