Magnetic Photo Frames

I just finished a few magnetic photo frames and wanted to share them with you. This first one is a 16"H x 13"W frame that can be hung on the wall or displayed on an easel. I decided on a clock theme and created the inside of the frame using tissue paper, paint, ink, and chipboard. The saying "Every day a blessing. Every hour a dream. Every minute a possibility" is such a great reminder and I thought it went perfectly with this frame. Magnetic frames are such a fun way for posting photos and memos.

Here is a close up photo of the saying, which also shows all of the texture and dimension this frame has. Visit my fb page at: Dippity Dot Creations to see other creations I have made and to see what all I have available for sale.

This next photo is a double magnetic frame that has a magnetic chalkboard on one side and a magnetic board with burlap on the other side. I also included two bottle cap magnets and a piece of chalk with twine and a magnet. The wood frames are glued onto a painted metal candlestick.

Repurposed old screen door

I came across this old screen door and decided to turn it into a Memory/Story Board for my Dining Room. I really liked that there were two different sized openings. I added chicken wire in the larger opening, to allow many photos to be hung, and attached burlap in the smaller opening (love burlap!). Antique hardware is a favorite of mine. I came across some neat door knobs and plates so I added one of them to this board as well as a few other rustic accents. My family and I are really enjoying this new display. Currently we are displaying photos that were taken on our recent 20th wedding anniversary trip to Hawaii.

In the smaller section, I wanted to use the saying "Christ is the center of our home, a guest at every meal, a silent listener to every conversation", so I decided to frame it between three frames I found at a local thrift store. I really liked the design on the frames, so I painted and distressed them and added tea cup graphics from one of my favorite websites - The Graphics Fairy, along with the saying and hung them together with twine. I think it turned out neat and unique. :)

Pedestal Jewelry Organizer

I am the type of person that believes there is a place for everything, and everything should be in its place. I think that is one reason I have enjoyed making Jewelry Organizers!

This wood jewelry organizer is antiqued green with a burlap flower. I used mesh screen on the inside of the frame for holding earrings, two black knobs on the top corners for holding necklaces, as well as four hooks at the bottom to hold bracelets and rings.
