A few years ago I found four small wooden frames at a yard sale for only a few pennies each. Of course I bought them, and stuck them away until inspiration struck. That time is now! I have four grandchildren and a multitude of adorable pictures of them to display on my fridge. What better way to do that than in frames specially crafted to match the kitchen and highlight their cuteness all at the same time.

I coated the frames with Folk Art’s Hauser Green shade. Oh the loveliness of that apple green! I let the paint sit for a minute or two, and then before it dried too much, I gently wiped away a bit of the paint from the gold trim with a napkin. Voila! I was left with amazing gold highlights shining through the green.

I added some heavy duty magnets on the back, inserted the pictures and hung them on my fridge. I smile every time I see the sweet faces framed in green and gold.
