,This is the post I did for Roberts Crafts on their blog. In case you didn't see it (but really just so I can add it to my archives) here it is!
You will need an unfinished wood frame, spray adhesive, scrapbook paper, foam brush, paint or water-based stain, scissors, and an X-acto knife (razor blade cutting tool).

so very pretty! I bet these would make great gifts. But it would be hard to part with them. You did a great job. love the distressed look!!!
Thank you for the tips! I've done this with Mod Podge before, but it looks like yours turned out nicer.
Love the frames Stacy!! The distressing is my favorite part. I distress everything...it's kind of addicting. :)
I love what you can do with a little deocrative paper. Cute frames!
very pretty! I am here from Thrilling Thursday link party.
So cute! I love using scrap book paper for everything! The distressed look is fabulous! I am in the middle of a scrap book paper distressed project and I ended up using a very fine sand paper to sand my scrap book paper because it looked way too new. Turned out nice. Thanks for sharing the frame tutorial. I'll have to try it with the extra paper I bought.
Very cute! :)
I'm thinking I will need to try this...I have so much scarp paper! They came out so cute!
Saw a pin on pinterest where they used old maps instead of scrapbook paper - good for those travel photos!
These are awesome & so cute! Now I will be buying up frames everywhere I go. When my husband asks what has gotten into me I point this post out in your blog. I'm sure he'll understand then!
Those are adorable!
Good job...thanks for sharing.
they look fantastic, great idea!
I love this idea! Cost effective and so cute! Would love for you to come link up to Made with Love Monday at Sew Chatty this week! http://sewchatty.blogspot.com/
Looks really pretty !
Looks like a fun simple project. Great paper choices. Love it.
I love this! So customizable, and I love how you made it look "weathered" with the paint. Thanks for sharing. I'm your newest follower!

Woow! The frames look really great!
Can you tell where can I buy the scrapbook paper that you used? :)
Thx.
Thanks! I got the paper at Roberts Craft.
Hi! Have you got the paper online or from a store. I just couldn't find it online. Maybe you have a link. :)
Thanks!
Where do you buy these wood frames?
I got some frames just like these today at Michaels for $1
Oh my goodness, these are gorgeous! I love the papers you chose! The staining looks fantastic and the antiquing is the perfect way to finish these beauties :)
Did anyone else have problems with the paper bubbling up? Any tips?
I love these!! The ones I've made are beautiful, but I like Rebekah have a bad problem with air bubbles.. Any tips would be awesome!
