What do you think? I thought that the Avonlea paper was the perfect look I wanted for a classic family heritage feel. What better representation of family than the timeless tree symbol. I hand cut this one and pieced it carefully to the front. The trunk is formed with one of the B&T Duos in the Dakota Paper Packet. The greenery of the tree is made with B&T Duos from both the retiring Flirty Paper Packet and the Pear and Partridge Paper Packet.
This flap is held shut with a magnetic closure. When you open it up, this is what it looks like underneath.
Why yes, those ARE Jamberry nail sheilds! ;) I have been trying them out lately. I added a strip of Shimmer Trim here because it really needed some sparkle at this point.
How cute is this little guy? He is stamped from the Whooo's Your Valentine Kit My Acrylics stamp set. You can only get this kit while it lasts! The deal ends when supplies run out or on January 31st whichever comes first! My sources tell me there is only 15% left! Let me know ASAP if you want to get this fantastic kit for only $10!!! Details HERE!
I am super-excited about this process and will definitely be sharing more of this project as it progresses, so stay tuned! Now go leave some glitter in your path! :)
Great idea and your hubby's grandma will love it. Especially when it from the heart and it is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheri--I sure hope so...she doesn't like to get "stuff" as gifts, so I have to be creative. ;) Glad I picked the paper that is still available too!
ReplyDeleteAnother amazing project! I love the owl on your tree :) I really do! But not as much as your chevron nail :)
ReplyDeleteThat must be because they BOTH have chevrons, lol! Hee, hee--thanks, Dana!
