Hi everyone, this is Sandee waving to you from the beautiful hills of North Carolina :)
Where it is hot, hot, HOT!

 I have really been enjoying all the wonderful projects that RRR DT has been showing us and I am in love with that Stay Put Craft Mat, and I think I need it! How about you? Yes? I thought so! Me too!!
I would love to share one of my favorite places to visit, which is the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. I love walking the grounds and taking plenty of pictures, and what better way to display a current favorite picture and a place to store my Biltmore ephemera than an Easel Picture Box!
I also love texture, and burlap just makes me happy when creating any nature project. I used the Burlap Woven Ribbon Natural to make a handle pull on the drawer and as a stop for the easel frame. I love how the end of burlap just frays for that rustic look!

My Scor-buddy really helped in creating nice sharp edges for my box, but this was first time using the Scor Pal tape, and I love how well it worked! You can read more about making a Picture Frame easel box and how I cheated making it, on my blog.   ;) Yes, I admit to my cheats! :)
It has to do with the drawer:


other products:
Creative Imaginations and Scraps and Scribble paper
Copics
Maya Road Velvet Blossoms
Ranger Liquid Pearls
Close to My Heart ink

Thank you~
Sandee

  20. What a perfect way to showcase your picture. It looks antique, but the picture is modern...masculine, yet feminine, too...nice balance.

  21. All that texture is yummy. Who knew you could get burlap ribbon? Now I must have some! Best of all, I like the way you've captured the theme of the photo and enhanced the photo, without overwhelming it. To me, it's still the heart of the project.

  37. I love that easel box! It is gorgeous. I did go visit your blog Sandee and was hoping for a tutorial or template to help me create a similar piece. Alas, none was there. I am off to see if Score Pal can help. Thanks for sharing your finished product. It is lovely!!!

  38. That mat sounds terribly intriguing. Something that doesn't try to escape? Something that doesn't curl up on the edges? Whaddya know! But let me get to the topic at hand--your gorgeous box/easel frame doo-hickey thingy! Totally lovely! I love all the touches of nature on it--the twine, the branch, the wee flowers, the colors and of course, the photo too!

  45. Great idea to make an easel card which incorporates a box underneath. And even better that it is a picture frame. Hugs Mrs A.

  46. beautiful frame! love the warm colors and the added branch.

  47. Actually, that's a fabulous idea! You need to do a full on tutorial on how to make that easel frame box thingy. I gotta make one of these for my Mum - she's about to take a trip to the Holy Land in September, and this would make a fab memento for her!
