Mother's Day gift **silhouette**

I had this bright idea to make my mom a cute little frame for Mothers day. Little did I know, it would take 3 hours+ and tons of mistakes. Oh well...we learn from them, right? So here is some-what of a tutorial of my DIY frame.

Here is the finished product without the pictures in it.

Now let's see how I got here!

This is how the frame started out. I should say I was going for a stained, yellowish color 

keep in mind...

Here is my little man cuttin' away.

I figured out the design I want and this is what I came up with...

This is where it start going down hill.

I wanted something yellowish-brown (I thought)

and this is what I color I ended up with and finally stopped. (YUCK)

So, instead of paint I thought it would look cool if I stained it.

Nope.

Not cool.

All of the stain got under my vinyl and some parts didn't have any stain under it.

So, it looked like this.

So, I got mad, threw a fit and was about to go to bed until I realized 

I had some red spray paint. My moms house has little touches of red...

so why not?

Whoa...that's red!!

I am pleased with the outcome and I know she will love it

once I get the pictures of the grandkids in there.

Oh and I should add that I L-O-V-E my Silhouette.

I will have to add other projects I have done on here, it's so much fun!
