Baby girl gift idea

I am meeting my little niece for the first time today -

this is my first time as an auntie and I am exited to meet her.

Sadly, I was unable to make her baby shower so I am giving her this sweet

framed name today.

Originally I had planned to paint in her name but wanted it to look perfect

so then I though how about if I cut out letters with my cricut - which would have come out nicely.

Then I thought why not use up some of my scrapbooking supplies - tah-dah BRILLIANT

This frame was under a dollar at the thrift store and I think it had some corny

illustration in it before I got my hands on it...

I painted the inside white (with spray paint)

then the outer trim I painted pink with the new MS paints

then I dug into my chipboard letters and some extra GIRLY chipboard pieces

and used modge podge to adhere it all down.

This came out quite sweet if you ask me - hopefully my brother and his wife will LOVE it

and will be a piece my niece can keep with her forever...

Easy and I used up some of my stash. double LOVE

I wish you all a wonderful Labor Day
