Valentine’s Day 2009
I needed to make a Valentine’s Day gift, but didn’t have a frame in my stash. Here’ s the front of the canvas frame I had tucked away.
Here’s the back of the canvas, which is about 5" x 7". Very easy to paint it black with craft paint. I wanted to surprise my daughter and son-in-law with a personal gift for Valentine’s Day from their girls.
I covered each of the grand girl’s foot with VersaMark ink and had them step down on Ruby Red cardstock. I embossed their footprint with silver embossing powder.
Here are the words which I printed on the computer. I added a couple of silver hearts. I put ModgePodge on the back side of the cardstock and centered it on the black canvas frame. Pressed out as many air bubbles that I could. Then I covered the entire project with one coat of ModgePodge and let it dry overnight. It turned out quite nicely!
Dan and I had the grand girls overnight on February 13. We took them swimming at the YMCA after supper. We had a blast! When they woke up on Valentine’s Day, I had gotten up early and made a heart-shaped breakfast for them.
This was so much fun to do for them. They both squeeled with delight.
Amber went for the pancake first!
Brianna went for the toast and jelly first.
After breakfast, we read some books. Looking at this picture, I cannot believe they are 5 years old and 20 months old. Weren’t they just babies?
Oh, Sue. You are amazing! Those are two lucky little girls!!!
