Card Creations and More by C's Challenge #1




Hi Paper Lovers....

Christina from Card Creations and More has started doing challenges on her blog! She asked me to be a Guest Designer for this weeks challenge. Thanks so much Christina...that is very sweet of you! This weeks challenge was to make anything BUT a card. WHAT??? LOL...it was for sure a challenge for me. It actually worked out perfectly cause my Dad just turned 78 and I needed a gift for him. What in the heck do you get a 78 year old that doesnt really "need" anything??? You make him a frame and put a pic of his grandkids in it....or at least that is what I did =)

The frame is one of those plain wooden ones from Michaels. He loves Monkeys so I used the Animal Crackers line from DCWV. I really LOVED how it turned out and it only took me like 20 minutes!!! The hardest part was waiting for the Glossy Accents to dry =)

Please head on over to Christina's blog by clicking HERE and play in her fun challenge this week....see what you can come up with!
Below is my YouTube video... Thanks for stopping by!!!

OMGosh - this is soooo cute!!! I love the bright, fun colors! I'm sure Grandpa will love it! :)

PS - Just in case you need more Grandpa gifts... one of my dads favorite gifts is a step-stool we made for him. It has the kids hand prints on it and vinyl that says, "World's Best Grandpa - Hand's down!" Then I modge-podged it for durablity. The little ones use it to wash their hands at Grandpas. :)
