I Think I'm Addicted

to K&Co. I didn't realize until I started blogging and writing down materials for projects that I used so many of their papers, scrapbook borders, diecuts. I did start noticing that I was noticing them more in the stores. But I picked up some papers the other day just because I liked them and they were perfect for some Fall projects and whaddya know...yup...K&Co. Didn't realize it until I flipped one piece over to trace on the back side!
I was tracing this frame and there on the back was the K&Co! So now on to my projects with this K&Co paper! No, they're not paying me to say their name. I mean they could and if they're listening, call me! I traced the frame shape and then cut out. Actually I traced it, then went and painted the frame back and sides and while it was drying I cut out the paper. I hate waiting for paint to dry but I guess it has to. Then I Mod Podged the paper to the frame. More drying time! What to do?

What I didn't do was take pictures of what I did which was to paint one of those 10x10 Ikea "Malm" mirrors. Checked some blogs out while that was drying. Mod Podged that. OK everything's dry now yay!

Sanded around the outer an inner edges of the frame; added some letters I bought for $1 at JoAnn's; added a leaf charm and a paper flower from the scraps. Covered the cardboard that came w/ the frame w/another scrap and glued a metal leaf to the middle and:

Here's the Ikea Mirror I didn't take pictures of along the way but it's the same technique I used before here



Someday I'll take a straight picture. Maybe.

Straight pictures are over rated. :o) Your frames turned out great. I used to have an eBay store (before their fees skyrocketed) that sold scrapbook materials. I always liked K & Co.

Have a great day! La

I never take straight pictures! It's so..boring LOL. I heart K & C stuff, I'm scared to look through my stuff and see how much of it I have...

The frames are very, very pretty!

Your frames are great. Now I want to redo the black frames I did on my leaf art. I was even thinking that I could do this too the white mat that came with the frame. Interesting possibilities.
