Framing clipart in a unique way




I found this small frame at Goodwill for $1 and it was already this burgandy color and a bit beat up.  I beat it up some more with some sand paper around the edges.



The butterfly clipart came from this great blog called The Graphics Fairy
You can find just about anything you are looking for, and if you don't see what you want you can contact her and she'll do her best to find it.



My friend and I had a yardsale in February and she had an old dictionary that didn't sell and I kept it, thinking I could do something with it.  Well, I did.  I turned to "B" for butterfly and ripped it out.  I taped it to a piece of printer paper and put it into my printer and printed my butterly on it. (I know you can't see the definition of "Butterfly", the graphic didn't print close enough to it to fit into this smaller frame...oops...oh well)

 I love how it turned out.  It will be on my headboard coatrack wall.  You'll still have to wait to see that wall until it's done, but you are getting to see bits and pieces of it as I add to it.

Thanks for stopping by!

    I love this! I am a big fan of the Graphics Fairy myself! I found you through BNOTP.

    I am bookmarking this. My teenage daughter is re-doing her room this summer, and I know we could do some cute things with this idea!
