MY BABY IS TURNING 4

Yep 4 years ago tomorrow my Baby Jordyn entered this world and boy I had no idea what I was in for.... but she will be a big girls now and will start school next year. I wonder where the time has gone, sometime I think I should have stopped to smell the roses a bit more on her journey. But life is busy and we all do what we can...
And although this little girl is a whirl wind of activity and mischief and gets into all sorts of things that she is not supposed to, I love her with all my heart and she surprises me and makes me laugh everyday...
I asked her the other day what she would like for her birthday and her reply was, a cake, party hats, punch, and lots of presents. I then asked her what she wanted on her cake to which she replied.... jaguar spots, music notes, butterflys and sprinkles.....so I pondered this for a while thinking how I would marry these things together to get a cake that did not look like I had pasted pictures from magazines all over it willy nilly.. and this is what I came up with...

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDYN!!!!

I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

T IS FOR TAYLA

Hi Creators

My husband works away a lot and my beautiful 8yr old daughter Tayla is a wonderful help to me, she helps me with her little sister (3), does chores and is generally a wonderful young lady. So as a surprise I made this frame for her bedroom wall as a gift for all that she does.

I purchased 2,  8"x10" black frames from my local discount store and then cut a piece of white cardstock with the Couture Creations Fantasia Doily Die Irish Dreams (first applying the ejection foam that comes with the die that is found in between the back packaging).

I stamped a T for her name in the middle of the doily. Then with Couture Creations 12ml Double Sided Tape I covered the gap in the back of the doily, just around the centre. Flipping in over I used my Couture Creations Precision Craft Knife to trim away any unwanted tape. I then applied some blue glitter (being Tayla's favourite colour).

I then took the glass from my second frame and sandwiched the doily in between it and the original frame. HINT: I made some chipboard chocks to keep the glass in place as I did not want to use the backing board from the frame but you could use silicone to do this as a more permanent solution.

Then I simply embellished the front of the glass with some matching elements.

The best thing about this Frame is that Tayla loved it!
