ALTERED BABY BOY PICTURE FRAME

I made this picture frame for a special friend at the kids school. She just recently was blessed with a baby boy grandson. She is extremely excited so I made this so that she can put a special picture.

FUN CARDS

I made these 3 cards for some friends. I used the Sizzix for all the tags. All my sizzix items are from Hallmark Scrapbook. Visit them for all the latest dies @ www.hallmarkscrapbook.com You are going to LOVE that store.
