Here is my project today:

I thought It would be terribly fun to alter a wooden frame from Hobby Lobby with some torn papers that were decoupaged onto the frame and then I decided to emboss some texture and sparkles onto the frame as well.  I added one of my favorite stamp images from the New stamp designer Time 4 Tea and some gorgeous ribbon from the September Autumn ribbon collection from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Club.

The little lovely is my eldest and because her birthday is in October, this was a perfect Autumn design for a gift in her new home.
