Gettin' Crafty

Sometimes I go through crafty spells- crocheting, scrapbooking, gift wrapping, cake balling...

The creative bug hit me again and it was quite the process! But, i love the way it all turned out!

It all started with this picture

I love everything about this picture. I knew I wanted to gift it to my grandparents for Christmas somehow. My first thought was to put it on canvas. There were several daily deals going around for canvas prints- however they were all for 16X20. A little too big for what i wanted and of course they didn't offer deals on a smaller size, which was pretty pricy. Next option i came across was a google offer for a home decor store. They had this frame that i loved, but the photo space was only 4X4. That just wouldn't do this picture justice. (My grandma used to sing us the "bushel and a peck" song all the time growing up. So, the frame was fitting.) I figured i could make something similar, but just do it bigger. I went to Hobby Lobby and got all of my supplies and was ready to go. I had it all laid out when my Hubs asked what i wanted the focus to be on- he suggested that the way it was laid out, the focus would be more on the words than the picture.

Good point. So i scratched that idea. and did some googling for bushel and a peck frames. I came across this lovely sight and my project took a whole new turn. I love her stuff. It's so unique and personal, but the focus is on the picture with the words just being a special touch. So i did my own version.

Here is the finished product. I'm so proud of the way it turned out!
