Ok… so I need some sort of intervention because I have this serious problem of loving GREY and silver!! It’s in my closet, my wall paint, my furniture, even the siding on my house. Oy!

This frame idea came to mind because I’ve been collecting “C’s” for my wall in my living room. I have them in galvanized steel, black and white and even mirrored. I wanted to make something special for the arrangement. A Shabby chic look is what I was going for and the Salvage Papers by Prima were perfect for my idea.

I personalized my piece by adding our last name… after all… it’s the reason I collect “C’s”. I opened up the Heart Locket to use it as a frame, then added the letters to the background paper.

I was able to change what were grungy metal pieces into a shabby chic look by adding white gesso and silver paint.

I have shot a full process video showing how to make this, you can view it below or on our YouTube channel.

Hi friends! Welcome to our MEGA Masterpiece Box blog hop!  I’m really excited that you are taking the time to join us today.  You will not regret the burst of inspiration coming into your awesome weekend!  Yesterday we revealed the big surprise we’ve been dreaming up for you.  15 products from 10 different brands.  The products are brand new releases and most are not shipping just yet.  However, the Masterpiece Box is Shipping NOW! That means you don’t have to wait until the end of August to get Lawn Fawn’s new release or wait until October to get those adorable Mama Elephant Tiny Ninjas!  We are even shipping a special STAMPtember® exclusive “OH Happy Day” stamp set in this box NOW!

The beauty of this Masterpiece box is that so many different brands have worked with us to be in a “one stop shop” box.  The exciting part of the Masterpiece Box is that the products in it are not yet shipping to customers.  It’s a little big of a cost savings, but it’s also a great opportunity for you (and me!) to play with some of the most exciting releases of the year before they are on store shelves.  The Masterpiece Box is a limited edition set and once it sells out, it will not be restocked.  So if you want those Tiny Ninjas, you can get them now in the box or wait until their release date in October.
