You are a creative gal...always seeing potential in something! Nice you had those perfect frames too!
Great Idea!

Hey. That's pretty darn cute. I love the idea - seasonal art work for pennies. Clever.

What a wonderful idea! You are so darn creative.
I swear, if others didn't have ideas, I'd never have a clue.
LOL. I need all the help I can get.

hugs, Karen

I do that with special Christmas cards but never thought to try it with Halloween ones. What a great idea, Luvs! The black frames really make them stand out. Thanks for the idea!
Lynn

I'm with Lynne, I do that with Christmas cards but never even thought of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentine's day, heck even birthday cards! I always say it's not what it is but what it can be but never even thought this far outside the box! Thanks for sharing your great idea!

So if you do this, you might want to be sure your frames have a stand on the back--mine don't so I had to display them on an easel! LOL

I was thinking that maybe some fake spiderwebs or a bow with some dried flowers/weeds lightly sprayed black--or do you think less is more? ;o)

Luvs

You are so smart. What a inexpensive idea. I usually frame vintage prints and use with my displays, but haven't considered new stuff.

Luvs...More is More! LOL, hasn't this Forum taught you that? By the way, you great Enabler, I just HAD to go to Dollar Tree today. Twenty Dollar Tree in my case! I never seem to get out of there for less. They didn't have these cute cards, but I did find a witch one I liked. And I bought a black frame there too, with the back stand. You told us about the neat cardinal on acorn you got..and they had one on a pinecone too you said. Gee, you forgot to mention the 3rd cardinal, on the log. Naturally I had to go and buy all 3. Then I spied 3 adorable ceramic frogs for my garden. Hope you enjoyed helping me spend my money!

luvs you,
Karen

LOL Just wait till I tell DH about this! You know he will say it's better if I spend YOUR money than HIS! ;o)

Yes, I did forget to mention the one on the log. Do you think the gloss spray will brighten these up a bit? I loved the acorns, but the birds were a little bit dull.

Unfortunately I didn't save any of DH's money today--had lunch with my two neighbors to celebrate their birthdays this month and hit two TS in a nearby town. We had so much fun finding things and "enabling" each other. I'll have to take a pic of some of my haul to share with you all. I found a cute Fitz & Floyd pumpkin with kitty plate and another container with acorns on it from Hallmark. Woo Hoo!

I have a ton of different animal Christmas Card samples that are mailed to me year after year from the Humane Society and that's what I want to do with them. Put them in some little frames.

Yours look great.

Bru, good idea. I get those too!

Luvs, here's a picture of the witch card and the cardinals. I sprayed two and left one as it was just to show the difference. Tho the flash and the gloss spray look sort of sparkly in the photo. Sorry about that. I took the picture inside.

Oh, that is just a great idea, and it would work for all holidays just different colors depending on the season. We love DT. I always find things for the boys or preschool. And isn't spray paint a huge help/fix when you need it!

Karen, the spray really helped them allot. I like it better and will go do that to mine too. Thanks for the tip, and I'm glad you were able to find some. I like the witch too. Luvs

Luvs, I did three coats of the Krylon gloss. This resin really soaks it up. Apparently only bisque or un-glazed ceramic figurines you find end up looking like porcelain. Resin just gets richer, darker coloring and a bit of a sheen. Right after I did this photo, I glossed the 3rd cardinal. LOL. Much better.

hugs, Karen

Okay, I had to make DH stop at DT while we were out last night. Here is what I made for $1.50 (card was .50 and frame was $1.00).
Here is a link to rest of my fall decor:
