Picture Frame

Happy May Day!  We've had a pretty cloudy day today.  I hope you're having better weather where you are to start the month of May!

A while back I created a picture frame for my cat.  I promised my sweetie that I would make one for his beagle as well.  Oh who am I kidding?  They're OUR animals now and they both have taken special places in our hearts.  :)  I designed this frame similar to the frame I made for the cat so that they would look good hanging near each other.

I decorated a plain white chipboard frame, painting the sides of the frame chocolate brown, adding the pattern papers and some brown ribbon over the seams.  Then I added our dog's name, a cute dog image from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge and covered the entire thing in Mod Podge.  Then I added a simple bow and button accent and of course a picture of our pup.  Thanks for stopping by to take a look!

Running of the Dogs LOs

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  I ran a long run on Saturday and had some great company along the way, then was able to spend a good bit of time scrapping with some good friends.  These are two of the pages that I finished this weekend. 

I talked my sweetie into running his first 5K last month.  I am so proud of him for going and finishing the race!  I have a scrapbook of all of my races and decided that he needed his own page to commemorate his very first 5K.  I made matching pages for the two of us, putting our race bibs, finishing results and a picture on the pages.  The font for the title is from All Mixed Up and I added a dog from the Paper Pups cartridge, because it was the Running of the Dogs after all!  Thanks for checking it out!
