Another Grandpa Frame



So I figured I might as well post all my Father's Day creations at the same time, to keep the theme going! I did make all three the same year, I was really on a roll with making handmade gifts for the guys!! Luckily I did, they all loved them!!

I didn't scan this image like I did with the others, so it's hard to make out what the metal embellishment says on the top right corner. It says, "What a joy you bring to my life". This particular gift was made for my husband's step father, who I affectionately call my Father in law. I love the "Grandpa" paper, and used the built in title ("Grandpa") on the paper as a title on the project by cutting around the word freehand with an exacto knife. I cropped the image and tucked it neatly behind the title, and it worked out beautifully. I want to try this technique again with a scrapbook page where I will have more room to play around with.

Walk with me, Grandpa


This is one of my favorite creations!!! I made it for my stepfather as a gift for Father's Day. I took this picture of him and my daughter walking down to the barn on his property. The moment I heard the shutter close I envisioned this very project, and every detail came to life as planned! The quote on the metal embellishment is so sentimental, and absolutely reflects the feeling of the moment and the meaning of family. And I couldn't have found a better frame for this project! The frame resembles a barn door, and makes it very rustic and masculine; Perfect for a Father's Day gift!
