CRAFTING CHICKS GUEST POST

Hello Wood Connection readers! It's Becky from The Crafting Chicks. I'm excited to be back on The Wood Connection blog today.

I'm sure you have all seen the fun scallop-y frames out there.


Did you know that The Wood Connection has a fun variety of them? I was excited to try them out after I saw Crafting Chick Brooke's frame she picked up. Isn't this so cute?!?

I knew that I wanted a big one to showcase fun quotes and family pictures so I got an 11x14 frame.



I have this thing for green when it comes to interior design. To me every room should have some green in it. I decided that I wanted my frame to be this fun green color. I think the color just adds to the whimsy of the frame's shape, don't you? (The sunlight kinda changed the color in this picture.)



After I got my frame primed and painted it was ready!

I found this fantastic quote and knew that I needed it to be in my house. I made up this fun little print and placed it inside.



I did the green on green and I really like it. The fun thing is, I can always change out the print, or I can repaint the frame. LOVE that!







I wanted to share my print with you. It is done in a 16x20 size so you can print it that large or shrink it down. Please remember this is for personal use only. (Please no selling, distributing or asking for changes.)

Now for some exciting news! The Wood Connection has given me a $25 gift certificate to giveaway. Leave a comment on this post letting me know what you want to do with a frame from The Wood Connection to enter. The giveaway will close on Thursday March 22. Please leave your email address so I can email the winner. Come on over and visit me and the other Crafting Chicks too!

  5. As soon as I saw this frame I KNEW EXACTLY what I wanted to do with it! My son is turning one April 9th and I have a Cowboy themed birthday party planned for him. He was born 5 weeks early and VERY tiny and frail. He is now nearly 25lbs and in the 90th percentile! So definitely a huge miracle for us! I just got professional pictures of him in a cowboy hat and I want to paint the frame red with a custom print of him in his red cowboy hat with a quote that I wrote "The littlest blessings end up to be the greatest ones." -Brittany Kenner (bmkenner@gmail.com)

  13. Love the quote that you put in them! The frames are so cute! I would probably either put a subway art or a picture in them. Since I redecorate a lot I would probably end up doing both! :)
