Anyway, since it is Friday....It is Blogger's Challenge day today!!!! I have missed the last couple of Blogger's Challenges. I won't make excuses, I'm sure everyone is just as busy as I am....my days just seem to get away!! Argh!!!
This week's challenge is anything Mother's Day. Since my grandma doesn't have a computer and doesn't look at my blog, I am posting a gift I made for her. We had a surprise 80th birthday for her this past January and I got a sweet picture of her and my daughter, so I thought it would be nice to make a frame for her. I like to try to make coordinating gifts and cards when I can, remember these Mother's Day gifts from last year? And this one for my Mom? Well, I posted the card for my grandma a while back for a sketch challenge and decided to make a coordinating frame.....wanna see?
Here is just the frame:
I covered a target dollar spot frame I bought a while ago with paper from raspberry tart. It is adhered to the frame with mod podge. I then water colored a bunch of dogwood branches from summer soft using watercolor crayons and a blender pen. And then cut...and cut...and cut.....well, do you get the picture??? (pun intended ;) ) I layed them out in a similar fashion to the card and adhered them with stampin' dimensionals....you all know how I love dimension!!Here is a closer look at the dimension....did I capture it here???
Oh yeah...I forgot to mention why I covered their faces. I am super weird about my little one's face and name being on my blog - I hope that doesn't offend anyone. I know - I am weird.... but trust me, she is cute ;)

This is a beautiful gift.
A beautiful gift and precious treasured memory,
Great detail... what a nice gift!
I love how the card and frame match. Just lovely.
What a beautiful gift! Love the matching card as well.
This is beautiful. You did a fabulous job and the detail is gorgeous. I thought about kidding you about the "blue" tape but since you explained why I understand.
Great job! Will make a special gift.
Such a beautiful gift!
Such a beautiful frame and card Regina! I love how they match! Thanks for the link to last year's gifts...I remember them well! Simply lovely! :D
I love cards with pictures...and you really showcased that flower stamp set...wow
Fantastic details on this gift set! Beautifully done!
Very pretty, you did a lovely job
Love your card and frame but what I most respect is that you are careful about posting your loved ones on the internet. I think that is good parenting and keep it up.
Wonderful gift...(I wondered why the blue bags were on their face until I read your post! lol!) I like how you made the flowers into a frame around the picture!
Beautiful! I love the flowers on your frame!
