My project is an altered picture frame I created for Valentine's Day.  I was excited to break the paint out and get a little messy.  Try as I may, I always seem to get a little bit of paint on me.  Sigh.  I guess the kid in me always wins out.

I covered this in red paint and when it dried, I added a washed brown for aging purposes.  It's fun aging something besides myself.  LOL!  Okay but seriously.  Next I added a manilla tag with a black seam binding bow and added a handle.   I covered a Maya Road bird with sheet music and aged the edges with distress ink.  That's a vintage red label with a rub-on and a pearl flourish.  The black journalling bracket is from Mike's and I used my date stamp and paired a crochet red flower with a white heart button.  Easy right?  

I hope you will join us for the challenge!  ***As mentioned, I am offering a surprise give away for the hop.  Just leave me a comment and I will choose a winner next Monday!  Check back here to see if you are the lucky winner! ***
