About the Celebrating Ordinary Moments Blog

Mission Statement
Thank you for checking out my blog. I started this blog to create a place where people are able to find inspiration and share ideas. I find myself surfing the web looking for inspiration that is unique and different. If I find an interesting tutorial I'll share it with you. I will include a "live" link back to the original blog, store or web site so that you may have the option to visit and learn more about the designer and other services, class or kits they may offer. By posting tutorials I am hoping to help inspire people that are interested in creating something fresh and new.


Terms of Use for my Personal Designs or Patterns.
When listing completed projects on eBay, blogs, etsy, facebook, personal websites, forums or online venues, or if using these patterns for a project submitted to magazines or other publications, it is required that credit be given to Corrine Paul in a reasonably visible way.

BABY~Altered 8 x 8 Unfinished Frame

Altered 8 x 8 Unfinished Frame
BABY
Frame from Micheals
Frame Design by Corrine Paul

I started with an UNFINISHED picture frame
(Which BTW, I thought I took pics of it but apparently I didn't)
I attached pattern paper and used my exacto knife to trim the edges.
I used my Creative Memories cutting system and made waved topper.
