Picture this...

Whew!! I am back! Sorry I have been gone for so long. I took a much needed break from my "blogs"!! But I am back and just in time to share a quick easy mothers day gift idea! :)

IF YOU ARE ONE OF MY "MOM'S" OR A GRANDMA TO MY KIDDOS DONT GO DOWN ANY FURTHER OR IT WILL RUIN YOUR MOTHER'S DAY GIFT!!! :)
{Picture This}
Item's Needed:
1- large black frame with a matte for an 8x10
2- sheets of coordinating scrapbooking paper
1- colleague of words/names that define your mom (I did mine
on just a word program and turned them different ways and printed it on cardstock)
Mod Podge
Paint brush
Coordinating Ribbon
Step 1: Take your frame and take the matte out of it.
Step 2: Take your scrapbooking paper tear and cut pieces that cover the matte, mod podge them on like so (below) I didn't mod podge over the top at all they stuck on just fine:
Step 3: After it is all dry and good put the matte and your cardstock colleague back in (I had to tape the cardstock to the back of the matte to get them to stay in straight! :)

Step 4: Take your ribbon and wrap it twice around the frame and tie it in a bow to the left or right of the colleague.
ENJOY :)
Carter and his mom gave me this for Mother's Day this year and I had to share!! Super cute and easy idea. I am a {lover} of Dove chocolates and so they did the container with the words "I Dove You" on it. They did a super cute card and Carter explained that he "doved" me and that he and his mom appreciated all I do. Super nice!!! I love it!! :)
