Summer just wouldn't be as fun without my girlfriends.  Create something special to display those fabulous friend photos. I took a plain black frame and made it super girlie with some patterned paper and my Fiskars tools.  Now the fun style of the frame matches the happy feeling of the photos!

1. Take the frame apart, separating the glass and the wood front of the frame.  Trim patterned paper into four strip and punch one edge using Fiskars Apron Lace border punch.   Measure the strip so they fit around the outside of the frame and adhere.  Trim strips of pink cardstock to cover the inside bars of the frame and adhere.

2. Punch four lowers out of yellow cardstock using Fiskars Loves Me Loves Me Not L squeeze punch and adhere a button in the middle.  Adhere to the corners of the frame using foam adhesive.  Punch eight leaves out of green patterned paper using Fiskars Mint Condition M squeeze punch and adhere underneath the flowers.

3. For the inside of the frame, punch two butterflies out of pink patterned paper using  squeeze punch.  Adhere to a circle punched out of green patterned paper punched with Fiskars Round 'n Round L squeeze punch.  Add two gems in the middles of the butterflies.  Adhere to yellow cardstock.

4. Punch five butterflies out of pink patterned paper, add gems, and adhere to yellow cardstock.  Add three small butterflies punched out of green patterned paper using Fiskars Butterfly Pop-Up punch.  Adhere yellow cardstock pieces and photos to a piece of cardstock and put the frame back together.
