So Who Knew......

that taking the water polo pictures would evolve into this project?





A friends birthday is coming up and I want to make her one of these altered frames, but as I have never done anything like this before I wanted to fuss around with one before making her gift.
Since I am taking pictures of the team I have a variety of pictures to choose from of her son.

The only new supplies were the frame and holder plus the metal corners, the rest came from my stash of oldies.

Metal Corner Stickers by Momenta
Wooden picture/plate holder
All three available at Michaels

Other supplies:
Stamps: SU! Stamp of Authenticity and Simple Serif Alphabet (retired) OCL Go Team (retired)
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Memento Desert Sand
Paper: Neenah
Patterned Paper: BoBunny Mama-Razzi Stripe (no longer available)
Other: Office suppy Tag (tea distressed), SU! Tag punch, 1" Circle punch, Small wooden clothespin, Baker's twine, Ribbons, SU! Metal Label and Picture Hanger, Sanding block, SU! Not Quite Navy marker and Spritzer tool, Dimensional foam, Glue Dots

Now that I have the bugs worked out, I can't wait to start on her frame!

Nice shadowbox! Great pics and just the "right" amount of design elements. :)
