Ocean love

Hi all... its time for my OTW Craftiness post of the week. I hope you get to join in on the fun! My dear friend, Kim, is hosting another wonderful challenge for you this week and its sponsored by Plaid Paint. Be sure to check out the new challenge HERE.


Here is my project...



On my project I used stamps from Hero Arts, the super cute Oceans of Joy set. I wanted to do something cute with these paints, so I thought it would be great to make a frame. I love it and the picture works well with it. Isn't it cute? I love it! And as much as I love the beach  I think I will make more and possibly one for my wedding pictures.

For the frame I used Plaid Paints 513 Cayman Blue, Extreme Glitter 2790 Turquoise and Extreme Glitter 2796 Hologram. It dries so fast you can whip up this project in no time!! And its a great craft to do with your kids. The paints sell for a great price, you can pick them up at Plaid Online or your local craft store.


This weeks colors for the challenge are:
