Baby Frame by Apryl

This month we asked our Design Team to create whatever type of project they wanted (ie. cards, layouts, altered, home decor, etc) but they had to use an Imaginisce tool on their project.

First up this month is Apryl Holland who is sharing this beautiful altered frame.

"Baby Beautiful"

With summer winding down and the kids off to school, I'm busy getting ready to welcome a new bundle of joy to our family in just a few weeks.  I could think of nothing more fitting for my Designer A Day project, than a beautiful altered frame to hold my baby girl's first photo.  Without a doubt, the Love You More Collection is the perfect choice for this project.  I've had a craft frame from Michael's in my stash and finally put it to good use! 

With the Imaginisce I-bond hot glue gun I glued the background paper right onto the frame and then began layering borders and embellishments on the frame. 

I hand cut the pennant flags, lacing them with the twine for the background of the title at the top of the frame.  

I just love the Alpha stickers in this collection and created the Baby Beautiful title with them.  There is so much love and excitement in our family right now as we anxiously await the baby's arrival and I think that this altered frame perfectly captures that.  I can't wait to put the first newborn photo in it!  

Supplies:  Love You More Collection, I Bond Hot Glue Gun, The Twinery baker's twine, foam tape, craft frame from Michaels.

Craft Critique: i-bond Glue Gun Review by Amy Anderson

I was so excited to find out that Amy Anderson wrote a review of our new i-bond cordless glue gun for the fantastic Craft Critique site. You may already know Amy from her super awesome blog, Mod Podge Rocks. And who better to evaluate an adhesive tool then the queen of Mod Podge.

Be sure to jump over to Amy's post and see how she created this darling frame with our Garden Party collection and the i-bond glue gun.

Be sure to leave Amy some good Imaginisce comment love about her great write up on the i-bond. We hope to invite her back to join us on the Imaginisce blog, so we want her to feel our love!
