Wedding Gift Idea

Click{ HERE} for Design Time Thursday Holiday Challenge

My friend Kristina got married this month and I wanted to use her beautiful announcement and

engagement picture to create her a Wedding Gift Keepsake.

The announcement had a black large black damask pattern that didn't work with the LUSH collection from My Mind's Eye: flocked red patterned paper I was using so I trimmed the pattern down and then used my

Perfect Layers Rulers (1/8" size) (click on product name to get a set of your own)

to trim coordinating cardstock layers around the announcement.

I LOVE how precise the lines turn out!

I then used my Cricut to cut an elegant frame around her picture and then had so much

fun dressing up the look.

I used my glue gun to secure the Prima Embellishment and button and then added half backed pearls.

I left a little room above and below announcement in case she wanted to add personal notes or memorabilia.

I finished by adding the shadow box frame from Roberts Arts & Crafts and then packed it up.

I know you can tell from her wedding colors that I just loved working on this project and can't wait to make something similar for my Family Christmas Picture this year.

Red, White & Black-are FANTASTIC colors.

Hope you like this Kristina!
