Using up some of my scraps

I have a box full (and overflowing) of scraps... and every good intention of using them someday.  Well "someday" arrived last week when I popped in to Scrapbook 'n Things and found out about a competition.... decorate a frame any way you can.  Well I decided to pull out my scraps and see what I could do...

First up I decided to make a picture and then frame it.  These are some of the close up details.

I used a house pattern from a past Scrapkits page that I did and then things just went from there.  I also decided to try the sunburst idea that Michelle van Wyk showcased on her blog a few weeks ago.  I really love the final product.


Having completed this frame, I decided to tackle another one.  This one is all about school.  I made a page a few years back that will show Aaron through his twelve years of school.... so it's a continuous work in progress.

 I used lots of different papers to wrap the frame and then added lots of leftover stickers and rubons to add extra embellishments.  Again, here is a closeup of some of the details.

So there you have it... two frames made with lots of scraps..... no 12x12 pages were harmed in the making of these projects!

I also entered both of these in the "Use your scraps" challenge for the DT Debut at Scrapbook Challenges last week.

I saw your project on SOS and popped over to see more. So glad I did! Love your frames!! You did such an awesome job with all those scraps. Those will both be so fun to display and I really love the school project. Seriously great idea!
