At the church we are attending we hand out something to commemorate baptism. This Sunday there are two baptisms and I was asked to make something for each child and their family. My mother-in-law described an idea she saw, and since I am terrible at coming up with my own ideas for stuff like this I used her description! I never saw the original that she was describing, so I like to think this is my own creation :)
Materials used:
- Inexpensive 4x6 frame
- Solid colored scrapbooking paper (I always use textured)
- Patterned scrapbooking paper (again, quality counts....cheap paper looks like cheap paper)
- Velum paper (printed on with just a standard ink jet printer)
- Brads (to neatly attach the brads without wrinkling the paper punch a whole with an exacto-knife)
- Ribbon
- Adhesive (I use the sticky on both sides scrapbooking squares)
I left the glass of the frames out, I think the textured look is really fun looking. What I did though is put the glass behind the paper to make the back fit well, that way if the recipient decides they want it they can always use it!
