I've got a present to make!
My husband is impossible to buy for since he's a "if I want it, I get it" kinda guy. He likes creating memories, so what better than to gift him with my Tool Trash?
So first, I went to find a poster frame to encase the pictures and confetti. It was an easy find really. I didn't like any of the papers there to mat the project, so I relied on my inventory of papers at home. Lunchtime was the World Figure Skating Championship rhythm dance and adventures in present making.
Choosing a mat. All I had were these small pieces I had to string together.
Did I like purple and blue together? No I did not.
Did I want to highlight the confetti I had that linked together? That didn't work either.
I had to have that piece in a place of honor!
Thanks for your help, Ace.
Putting it together.
Mock layout #17. Still not happy, but closer with the purple background.
Trimming it up. I have exacto cuts all over my kitchen counter.
My base.
Are we getting closer? I think this might be it.
Using the detail in the confetti as a corner for a photo.
The end! Perfect timing too, he just rolled into the driveway. A quick save and I'll post for his birthday!
