We always have those little scraps leftover... I've already done 65 ways to use paper scraps, but this post is strictly revolving around 1 inch squares. Sometimes, that's all we can get out of our scraps, and other than using our punches for little shapes, here are some more ideas.....

Freebie Frames for Etsy and Blog Photos

Hi there! I was going through my photos last night and realized that my whole "getting creative" with backdrops on one set of photos weren't doing so hot. I didn't like them anymore so I decided to add a frame, some text, etc. to take away from the photo. lol. So in turn I decided that I'd like to have a few on hand to dress up my blog posts maybe or for future photos in general.... They all have transparent backgrounds, so you'll only have to worry about layering your photos underneath... I imagine that you could even use these for digi scrapbooking too! Okay, here is an example of one that I used....


 Teal Floral Heart Tags - Stamped, Shabby Chic, Cream Twine

And here are some freebies for you....
