I know this isn't very Christmassy of me to blog about, but I thought I would share about something I made awhile back for a friend who had a baby (maybe this could be a last minute gift idea.. but that's just me justifying the post) ;)
It all started with an IKEA frame & these amazing diddies I stumbled upon in Michaels.
They had these cute vintage alphabet cards where one side had the letter with a picture, and the other side had the letter capitalized & in lower-case form.
On clearance for $2.99 for two sets of the cards, I couldn't pass it up.
then I arranged them and 'eyed' the spacing. When satisfied, I taped them in place.
This is the finished product. Unfortunately I didn't clean up my mess before the shot,
but you get the idea. :)
a little gift fit for a little princess & her nursury. :)
It's not only cute, but educational as well!
Okay, now back to my Michael Buble christmas album, peppermint hot chocolate & everything else that screams Christmas! After all, it is here in 4 days!!
Hi Jane, I love this project! I bet if you shared it on Pintrest it would get pinned a lot! I would definitely pin it.
ReplyDelete--I'm enjoying your new blog.

this frame looks so familiar... where have i seen it??
ReplyDeleteoh! i've seen it in my house, in our baby's room! :)
i absolutely LOVE this frame. I always show off to all the guests who visit our home, saying my friend made this, isn't it amazing? :)
how come you didn't mention about the other gift that you created? the personalized christmas ball ornament! so pretty!!
you are so talented... making me all jealous! :P
ps - u need to reply to my email. take out or dine out?
Hi Kimberly, that's actually a great suggestion! I just might set up a Pinterest account (I know, I'm probably the last person on the planet who doesn't have one) ;)
