Fancy Scroll Frame



It has been brought to my attention that many of my blog posts are very long and may have too many photos - so tonight here is a short and sweet post with a new file for you!

I used two elements from the Ashlyn's Alphabet cartridge to make this frame.



Here is a screen shot of the keypad showing the location of scroll.



This screen shot shows the location of the frame (I stretched it in Design Studio to make it more rectangular).



I used cardstock from the Luxury Stack by DCWV for this test cut. There are some interesting offcuts - the oval can certainly be used for another project and even the small pieces would make embellishments for a card - I think the lower ones look a bit like baby angels with trumpets. The frame is about 5 inches wide and 9 inches high. The oval is sized to work with a vertical (or horizontal) 4 x 6 photo.

    i think that it depends on the individual person whether the post maybe too long. if you are a total novice, there are perfect. sometimes i skip thru more due to time rather than too much info. with all the freebies you provide your followers, i feel that if you are very detailed about a project that i will usually read thru it just to ensure i didn't miss something important. tx again for all the great projects and ideas you provide us.

    I love your postings.... Including this one. I think the person who said they were too long needs punching in the face... And to understand that reading IS a primary skill!!!

    PS - Go take a guess on my little blog award. Hint... my numbers are not even close to yours!!!

I also love how you give some backround or personal information with your posts it is really nice touch! Plese do not change or feel the need to shorten them. You are who you are and should not have to change that to make another happy!

    Looking forward to more posts!
