Of course such a special birthday calls for a special crafty project from yours truly. And leave it to me to start on it today! So, today I set everything else aside and worked on it all day. Gosh, my desk and floor (and children) are beyond messy now!
You know how sometimes it's the gift that finds you, and not the other way around? Well, today was one of those times. I wasn't really sure what I was gonna find at Marshalls. I thought about doing an 8x10 word art typography kind of print, so I was hunting for nice picture frames when lo and behold I saw this amazing shadow box. HELLLLLLLO! It is beautiful!
Hubs was watching American Idol on the dvr and Rascal Flatts' My Wish song came on. I've must've heard the song numerous times in the past but seriously, I guess I never really listened to it, the lyrics of the song were perfect! I typed up everything I needed!
I printed the quotes on a sheet of textured American Crafts white cardstock. I printed the photos on my Selphy photo printer (love that thing!) and went about assembling my collage.
Coordinating gift bag
The whole enchilada!
Aren't the cups cute? Target scores! There's a little chalkboard surface that you can write on. I love that everything is in her fave colors, red and turquoise!
Brunch at Fatty Cue manana! I'm letting her indulge in bacon only because it's her birthday! After that, we're putting her skinny but greasy butt on an H2O diet! Hehe, love you, PeaPea! Muah!
Supplies: Hero Arts Truly Appreciated, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, Maya Road vintage pom-pom trim, Cosmo Cricket Togetherness, Bazzill Basics Wild Rose Crimson flowers
