For Drew

Happy Sunday, everyone! I haven't had many chances to stamp this week -- I had two sick kids, a sick husband, and two snow days! I did finally get some much-needed "me" time so I could finish this project for our nephew. Today is his christening, and I wanted to be sure he had something handmade from Aunt Christina! :)

I covered an unfinished wooden frame (from Michaels) and the chipboard letters with Cosmo Cricket Snorkel paper. I used Mod Podge to adhere the paper, then I sanded all the edges. Finally, I gave everything another coat of Modge Podge for durability, and I added a trio of BasicGrey buttons to the corner.

Although the opening is meant for a photo, I didn't want to give the gift with nothing inside, so of course I stamped something! I used three sets from Verve Stamps: Practically Perfect, Seeing Stars, and Starlight Starbright.


That's it for today! I have some stamps and some new papers that need attention, so hopefully I'll get some stamping time today!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great day! :)

This is just darling! I love the askew letters. The colors are awesome, and and the matching buttons really bring out those colors and make me stand up and take notice!
