Altered frame swap I hosted...

Here are the pics from the altered frame swap I hosted over on cardznscrapz.com! Blogger is finally working again for me so I can post the pics of the frames I made and received,

This is the frame I made for Maggie using graphic 45s Curtain Call;
 So for this frame I painted it-black first then crackle medium and the the cream, I used the tea dye ink to age the edges..... The paper decorations are graphic 45 and then I used some red roses and butterflies and black lace edging...
 I learn how to make these box flowers recently at my first 12x12 layout class by AnnaMarie at the craft extravaganza here in Galway...
 Red accents work really well with these papers...
 This is the frame for Geraldine-I blogged this already CLICK HERE for more details...
 OK so Blogger is still not working great for me and keeps rejecting pictures... I can't upload all the ones I have taken but here is a picture of the beautiful frame I received from Geraldine-I love it so much, Its material and the butterfly corners are stitched on, I love the trims and all the little embroidered accents that she makes!!! She is so talented and a great crafty friend of mine, so thanks again Geraldine X
Close up of the embroidered A, trims, acrylic leaves, ribbons, seam binding.... Fabulous!
 And this is my gorgeous frame from Maggie-it was great to receive such different frames! She even included a fab picture in the frame which I am going to leave in it! I love the colours, and the chain, beads, charms, flowers and the lacy zip!!! sooooo cute.... Maggie made all the flowers-its just beautiful, thanks so much Maggie X
