I was browsing Shirl’s craft blog and found out about this great challenge at Flashback Friday Challenge.
The Flashback Friday 8.0 is to share your first ever 3D project that you have done.
I am so shy to share mine, but the truth is, here is the minimal looking frame I made as a gift to a friend back then in 2007 using whatever scrapbooking embellishments I have that time. The entry of the novice frame is here Decorated Frame With Scrapbooking Materials.
And recently in 2010, I have made another one to be given to Hubby. I put our son’s picture in the frame so that Hubby can put in his work-from-home room.
The frame was also entered into a challenge – Flowers and Frills.

I hope you can see that I made some improvement in my crafting. Aging does make people a bit wiser over the years, I guess..haha!
Yeah!!! I’m sooooo happy that you find Flashback Friday via Shirl’s blog! {Hi Shirl!!!}…..I love how you posted both of your altered frames….both of wonderful….your first frame has so many fun embellies…I hoard mine..I should use them more….but I’m sure that you’re friend still cherishes the gift!!!!! Your second frame is gorgeous….wow…so very elegant and I love the text on it…..Thank you so much for playing with us at Flashback Friday 8.0!
Thanks for sharing your 2 altered frames, Farah! In fact there’s nothing to be shy about your first frame, I think it looks gorgeous! I can see that your second frame is better composed, with more layering to create the look. Both great job done!
Amy, it’s hard not to hoard, and even when you have a lot, you’ll still think you don’t have the right one when you’re crafting..btw, I hope to play again in the next challenge..
Shirl, after learning by experimenting, reading magazines and seeing what others do, I finally get to understand my own style of crafting 🙂
Your frames are absolutely FABULOUS!!! I love them both!
Thank you so much for playing along – think you are as happy as I was when I first found out about this challenge! It is so much fun!
