By now you know that I do like my quick and easy projects thrown in every once in awhile. I truly believe they help keep me sane when things get a little crazy. Today I’m waiting on service that was supposed to be here between 8 and 12. It is now 1:00 as I draft this post. I’m still waiting. Sigh.
Small 5x7 frames that have served their purpose as they were. I decided to use something I printed out awhile ago and never did anything with. This beautiful quote from Emily Dickinson on Hope.
I decided to make two and I will give one to my daughter – hopefully, she is not reading this. Knowing that she likes an Heirloom White look, {but I’m out} I used some of my Annie Sloan Old White on her frame. Mine I sprayed brown when I did some other frames.
I used the script scrapbook paper I had gotten and used on those picture holders I did here. Even though I had printed the graphic out on brochure paper, which is a little thicker than regular paper, I glued them to a piece of card stock for more stability.
I used Zots instead of glue to adhere the quote to the script paper which raised it up a little bit. Kind of a reverse mat, I think.
Glass back in and done!
Such a great quote and I know I will enjoy looking at it! I think it looks good in both colors. Cost = $0.00!

I love quick and easy projects too, they always make me feel like I accomplished something! The framed quotes are very pretty and you can't beat no cost!!!
Have a great weekend.

those look fantastic. It would be difficult to decide if I like the dark frame or the white the best. The quote you choose is perfect with the script back ground.
What a great quick project. I love the verse and it looks fantastic on the script paper and I LOVE the way the quote is raised up a little....... I ♥it all!
Cute idea...I can't decide which one I like best - they are both perfect!
those are so pretty.. you always make the best stuff and quick too..
Found you this morning at Maggie's site Just Between Me and You. I enjoyed reading about you and now I am following you.
Maggie has been trying to get me to publish a blog but I keep putting it off.

They look great Kathy! I just read some of your posts about your upcoming move! Congrats! And there is a Hobby Lobby close? Well, that is the MOST important thing! lol...I'm headed there now myself. I hope the move goes smoothly...and it's great that your family is able to move there too! Wonderful! Have a great day! Kristen

Hope you weren't waiting on LIPA. You'd be waiting a long time :) Great job!
I am all about quick and easy! Looks great Kathy. Can't wait to see your magazine copy cat challenge.

so cute and inspiring too. Hugs!
Pretty! I really hate waiting for people. I really think the service person should have to call to say their running late or whatever.
I love these! The quote is wonderful! I love seeing how you did each step; thank you for showing these. The script paper is perfect! These are lovely!
