A "Boo" Frame

Karen from The Graphics Fairy offers free downloadable graphics; the Boo garland above is one. Karen is also hosting Brag Monday, where you can show off a project you've done using the graphics she offers. I'm slipping this post in quick so I can link up before it's closed.


I was in Kohl's tonight and saw they were having a sale on frames {40-50% off}. I saw a frame that had dividers for three pictures and thought this might work. I took my package of card stock scraps {best $2.99 I ever spent ~ I've been using these a lot}, hoped for orange card stock {found it} and cut it to fit.




I then printed out the BOO letters but since the openings were too small to include the whole graphic, I just cut the letters out. I used my glue stick to glue them to the card stock and then just put it in the frame.




And there you have it! Easy Peasy!




Thanks, Karen!

  10. I assure you Donna ~ it was very easy! Done in a half hour.

    @NiceCrane Designs ~ These are great for me because I can't find some of my Halloween stuff and last year I got rid of the stuff that was looking scarey in a bad way.

    Thanks, Karen! I almost missed it. You should have seen me scrambling last night to get it done and the post up! : )

  11. Thank you, Barbara Jean! Gives me the seasonal touch with spending a lot of money ~ I love that!

    Thanks, Liz! Very quick and easy ~ go for it! It would look great with your harlequin lamp. : )

    Thank you, Tammy! I couldn't believe the sale they were having. I think everything I bought last night was on sale or clearance. Of course, I only went in there for a top . . .

  13. Thanks, Lisa! I'm all about simple projects!

    PK ~ It is cute! I like it! It looks like the last "O" is not lined up right in the pictures, but in real life it is. Just thought I'd mention that! : )

    Thanks, Christine! I didn't really have any scrap book papers that were good color-wise and then I remembered that card stock scrap package I bought. Thankfully, there was orange in there.
