craft picture gifts

Sam here again! I really hope our cousins start to blog soon so it's not just me and Missy. Pretty boring day today just trying to get ALL of my homework done.
Well as Missy has said this Christmas we did a craft Christmas and I thought I would share with you a could of my crafts that are really easy to explain and that I thought turned out pretty good.

Me and my amazing husband Jack



I thought this turned out great. what I did was get a picture of our first dance together as husband and wife and got a frame with a mat (I think I got 2 for like $14 at walmart.com) then wrote the lyrics to our wedding song (Lost in this moment) first I did it on a scrap piece of paper so I knew how it would work out.

I was thinking about printing the lyrics but I though writing them would be more personal.

This one was for my brother in law

I know this one is pretty simple, but It's perfect for them. Him and my sister just had a baby just before Christmas an he is in the army national guard.

This isn't the same frame as before, this one came from hobby lobby on sale for $7. I took a normal piece of paper and printed the quote to make sure it lined up just as i wanted, then when it was perfect, I put the star scrapbook paper in the printer.

I then took the mat and cut a triangle of the edges and folded them down in the back and taped it

then cut a little piece in the center and cut 4 lines to all the inside corners, then folded those down as well,

Put the frame back together and added this picture of them in the hospital.

This next one was from my boys to there papa

He ended up in tears when he opened this.

I got a tray from hobby lobby(can't remember the price) then stained with will some stain I had a the house.

while drying I cut out all the pictures to as small as I could get them so I could get as many pictures on there as possible.

Then I laid them out with a square i the corner being left blank.

Once I felt they were perfect I then glued them down.

once they were all down I used my mod podge to coat them all, did it a couple of times. This way he can't mess up the pictures if coffee is spilt on them.

then used my cricut and but out BEST BUDS with vinyl and put it in the corner.

well I guess is time to go finish my paper good night!
