My "wombmate" (twin sister) and I were wandering around Michael's last weekend and found a cool frame with flowers on it. Knowing that she had a couple of weddings to go to this summer, I suggested we put one together that was a bit more personalized. After making 45 circles around the frame department, we came up with this. The heart shaped frame has a floating picture so we just added the scrapbooking paper...looks like velum but feels more like a place mat to get the scrolly (yep, making up my own words now)
look. Then we put the sticker in for the photo until it gets replaced with a wedding photo. Then we tied the whole thing on to a big white frame and glued on some flowers.
My oldest daughter was away from home again this year for her birthday. I made her the pendants which say happy "bri" day. No, that's not a spelling mistake...just her name and I thought it was close enough to birthday to use the play on names. Then I made a matching card with her favorite word, 'frolic" and added some cupcakes. Rather than wrapping the entire box, I just embossed a band to put around it . Then I added her presents and candles. I don't usually wrap in shopping bags but I loved the graphics on this bag. It wasn't as good as having her at home but at least I could do something to make it a special day.
