CR84FN57 - Week 2 - To Do Frame

 It's Week 2 here at CR84FN57 and we are still playing with Bright Pink, Tan, and Neutral.
This week I decided to re-purpose this metal standing frame that I had made with different paper in a class a long time ago.  It was just stuffed in my craft closet.  I had this brilliant idea on how I wanted to use this so I ripped THAT paper and the embellies off and made a new frame below.
I am going to put the new frame on my desk and post the CR84FN color graphic I am working on at that moment.  This will keep me more focused on the colors and I won't have to keep searching for the picture that inevitably gets lost in the pile of paper on my desk!
Here's my NEW decorated frame that matches the colors in my craft room!

I LOVE this dress form that I cut out of the Mon Ami Gabby flower material I used in a different color challenge two weeks ago.  The flowers show up so much better on the bigger image.  LOVE it! 

 Here is a close up of my flower and clip that will hold each week's color graphic for CR84FN!  I am so happy with this project because it will be extremely useful AND pretty at the same time!

 Now go check out what the other CR84FN DT members (listed in my sidebar) have made for you!
THX for stopping by!  Let me know what you think!
