RAWR means I love you!

Hello everyone and welcome to Nonna's Craft Corner!  I hope your week is going well for you.  Mine has been pretty busy so far and I seem to be having trouble finding time to craft.   I am still spending a big portion of my day chasing after Lola (my Christmas Yorkie), but she is getting better each day with the potty training.  But, once I sit down with my sweet little bundle of fur, it's really tough to make myself get up and get moving again...she's just so loving and would cuddle all day if I let her!

I started on some Valentine's Day projects and I hope that will get me motivated to spend more time in my craft corner.  I decided to make a special Valentine's Day frame for each of my 3 sweet grandchildren this year.  I started with Brayden's frame and just finished it up today.  Brayden is our youngest grandson, he is almost 5 months old and such a cutie...


In this photo, Brayden is wearing a smocked outfit that his Great-Grandmother smocked for my son (Brayden's Daddy) many years ago.  I love that we have been able to get a photo of both of my grandsons in this outfit!

(What a cutie!)

Recipe:
* Frame - unfinished frame from Michael's
* I painted the frame red and covered with cute cardstock from K & Company
* Lion - Cricut's Life's A Party  cut at 4.75 inches
* Buttons from my button jar
* Sentiment - Pink By Design stamp set Be Mine
* Sentiment mat - Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio 3
* Letters for Brayden's name - Cricut's Boys Will Be Boys cartridge, covered in Glossy Accents
* Hearts - Cricut's George cartridge, covered in Glossy Accents

I really like the way this sweet frame turned out!  I am working on a frame for Blake (Brayden's big brother) now and hope to share it with you in a few days. 

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you soon!
Until next time,

  4. That is amazing that you still have that outfit. Love that story. Your frame is adorable....the lions couldn't be any cuter and love what you did with your your red buttons. Seriously cute..and cuddle as long as you want. Lola should have come with a cuddle warning. She is too precious.
