Run Wordbook

 

This wordbook is a gift for my brother in law who ran the NYC marathon, as we drove it,lol. We drove to all 5 boro's and saw him in each one, it was great!!. I used my Cricut the Sports Mania and destinations cartridges. I also used envelopes in between each page for more pics and a tag pullout, that he can write some notes in. I hope he enjoys it.Click on picture to enlarge.

7 Gypsies Painter's Tray

 

 

 

 

This tray was originally black and I painted it off white. I used Graphic 45 Christmas Past Paper and a few older adorable pictures of my children. I also used stickles, some christmas chipboard pieces, a prima flower and I made the little bow myself. I also used glimmer mist (apple) on the bow and flower. This was a fun project to make and a great way to display those adorable pictures :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!
