Freecycle Friday - Cute Halloween Frames AND Another Reader Giveaway!

Hey all!

I can't believe that I'm actually getting this posted before midnight tonight :)

It's just because I have somewhere sooooooo fun to go today (squeel!) But, more about that later.

So,....

Have any spare frames laying around?

Try making some these!

I made these 2 years ago and I LOVE them!

They are SO easy, too!

I used vinyl to make these, but you can use some plain colored paper,

OR

Jazz it up with some cute scrapbook paper.

Just start by taking the glass and backing out of your frame and clean the glass really well. If you want to paint your frame (like I did for the white and orange ones), now is the time. Just make sure to sand he whole surface a little to help the paint stick better.

Cut out what you want on your die cutter OR use your printer & print it backwards in reverse on the back of your paper and cut it out with scissors.

Then, adhere it, backwards, to the back of the glass. So, when you look at it through the front, it reads the right way (hopefully). I've never done this with paper, but I imagine you would want to use a vellum adhesive or make sure and apply the glue evenly on each letter so it doesn't look blotchy on the other side.

Another option is to get 2 pieces of glass and sandwich the paper between both, making sure to adhere the paper to the back piece of glass so the adhesive will be hidden.

Then, just glue the glass back into the frame with hot-glue or E6000. I used hot-glue for these (didn't know about E6000 yet) so I just quickly dabbed a bit it in each corner since it cools so fast

I stapled a cute ribbon onto the back of one and hot-glued a chain onto the other to hang them up with.

Anyhoo, this is a great way to use some of those frames you have stockpiled up in your closet (you KNOW it's true :)

Here is one I made for Christmas, too!

SO easy!!

Also, here is ANOTHER cool product I was asked to try out by Blogspark.

They sent me the WHOLE line of the new Febreze Home Collection kit. Check out what they sent:

• Green Tea & Citrus Flameless Luminary and three refill shades, to let a flickering light shine through to accent your room with scent and style
  
• Green Tea & Citrus Soy Blend Candle, which has a soft glow and releases the premium fragrance into the air as the candle slowly burns
  
• Green Tea & Citrus Room Spray, available in an easy, yet stylish spray canister
  
• Green Tea & Citrus Diffuser, to add a stylish and aromatic touch to the air with scented oils
  

Let me tell you.....this new line is awesome! I LOVE the green tea & citrus sent, it's not too strong, but scents the room nicely. I can't wait to try more scents (they sent a few extra shades for the flameless luminary of different scents too!)

My favorite so far is the flameless luminary since I can leave it on and not worry about my kiddos getting hurt. And the shades are so cute and decorative and ssooooooo easy to change.

See and smell the difference for yourself!

These are available now at Walmart AND I'm picking one of my lucky readers to receive a $20 giftcard to go get some of their very own!

So, the lucky readers is.......
