Every year at Christmastime, my Grandma agonizes
over getting the perfect gift for every single member in our family,
which is over 60 people!
Not every one understands that when my grandma gives a gift she wants it to reflect the love and knowledge that she has of the person who receives the gift.
She wants her gift to bring a smile or a tear or
a heart felt chuckle.
She wants to please.
I think my grandma may enjoy giving the perfect gift more than getting the perfect gift.
I also find joy in gift giving. I also enjoy creating something that has yet to exist before:) Knowing that it may not surprise you to know that I love giving unique and personalized gifts.
With that in mind . . . I created this for a wedding gift!
I promise . . . this looked so dang good! You can totally make this!
The Material's I used: (mostly from Robert's, but you can get them I'm sure at Michael's or any other craft store)
Hot Glue Gun
Two coordinating scrapbook papers
Modge Podge
Photo Corners- clear
Gold or bronze stamp ink
Paint Brush
Paint Brush
Vinyl or stickers words "family"
small wooden heart
small wooden heart
brown twine
scissors
Picture embellishments (old key and cameo key hole from Bo Bunny scrapbooking)
Tile: mine was 11.5 x 11.5 (my friend gave me a bunch of tile but I usually buy them at the Home Depot for less than $3.
1. First cut, your scrap book paper to match the size of your tile.
2. Use paint brush to spread modge podge all over tile.
3. Apply scrapbook paper and rub with a paper towel towards edges to release any air pockets.
Let dry completely.
4. Trace heart onto paper. I thought I was going to use both sides of this scrapbook paper, I ended up just using the polka dot side to trace my wood heart and cut out the paper.
5. Modge podge the cut out heart onto the wooden heart. smooth out with paper towel. Let dry.
6. Use twine to tie loosely around picture and around old key embellishment.
(you can also use ribbon instead of twine)

7. Apply vinyl or stickers to the top of the project (once it is all the way dry)
7 and a half:) : add photo corners to picture and then place it on the tile in desired location.
I used photo corners because this was the engagement picture we received in the mail. With photo corners they can switch out the picture however they want.
8. When the modge podged heart is dry and you
The edges of your heart should look like this:
9. I used a little tape to make sure the key hung where I wanted it too and then I added a little hot glue.
11. I added pop up dots and hot glue to the cameo and mounted that on the heart.

10. To give my heart a slight 3D appearance I applied the mini pop dots, I didn't know how well they would hold so I also added a little hot glue in the middle. In hind sight I would have moved the pop up dots away from the edges just a tiny bit more so they be completely invisible once the heart was mounted.
