So the other project that I took on was to make a picture to go on the wall in my family room downstairs.  I needed a few things to match my new carpet and furniture (since we had the unfortunate adventure of our water heater breaking and flooding the basement).  So I went to D.I., my favorite place to find and refinish picture frames, and found this cute one.  I took everything off the back, kept the glass and painted it blue and sanded the edges just a little, then I put some scrapbook paper in it.  Added a few embelishments again and came up with this.  What do you think...not bad a just a few dollars!

I added the gems to the middle of each flower on the outside of the glass and it really made it pop!
