Happy Monday to all of our Xryon fans!!!

I am sharing a fun Altered Frame today using DCWV Ocean Wonder 12 x 12 Paper Pad along with my favorite Xyron adhesive.

I thought my little grandson chasing a heron was just the perfect photo to go along with the Ocean Wonder  Collection. 

First....paint a small wooded frame with  teal paint. 

I had to mix my Cobalt Teal Hue with Titanium White to achieve the soft teal color I wanted. 

Paint frame and allow it to dry. 

Cut 1" pattern paper strips and 4" x 6" mat from the Ocean Wonder.

Run through the Xyron Creative Station with Permanent Adhesive

Add prepared strips to top of frame. 

Repeat with small pattern paper mat, Epherema Card and photo. 

Layer mats behind photo to create depth of the inside of frame. 

Adhere to top of 4" x 6" mat that was attached to inside of frame. 

Fussy cut swirly image from pattern paper. 

Run through the Xyron 1.5" Sticker Maker.

Add adhesive swirl strip to matted photo frames

Add prepared swirly paper to side of frame along with "Explore" to the top.

Fussy cut images from pattern paper; adhere to top of frame. 

Punch two of "The Ocean is Calling" sentiments from pattern paper. 

Run one through the  Xyron 3" Disposable Sticker Maker.

Add to top of frame.

Stamp and ink some small flower; fussy cut and add to frame. 

Add gemstones to center and Glossy Accent to centers of fussy cut paper images.

I hope you are inspired to get a few inexpensive wood frames to decorate for you home, office, gift or other ideas through out the year. Pam
