MY HUSBAND'S BIRTHDAY BASH!!




Hey There friends.. welcome to a VERY special event!
Today is my Husband's 34th Birthday! I wanted to tell you a little about my Husband and why this Hop means the world to me!
Chris and I have had a roller coaster ride since we first met. Every Birthday Chris has had there has been some kind of tragedy.  From having a Sick Baby to Our love ones passing to him being diagnosed with MS. We have had moments where we almost lost hope. Then from the grace of God we always came through!  My love for him is unconditional!!! He is my Best Friend.
I LOVE YOU CHRIS!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETY!!!

I wanted to do something different for his Birthday, so I asked some Awesome ladies to help me celebrate his Birthday and make something for Chris. I think this is a  challenge  because Masculine Cards and Crafts are a lot harder for me to come up with.



So this is what I have made for my Awesome Husband....


I made him this Picture frame for his New desk at his New job.

Ingrediants:
Chip Board:Making Memories
Designer Paper- Bo Bunny
Glue: Modge Pod
Inks: Stazon Timber Brown , and Stazon Jet Black
Ribbon: Stash

I took a 12x12 Bo Bunny paper and cut it  up  into pieces and then glued them on to the chip board using Modge pod. I then took a crafting knife and cut the excess paper off from the edges. Then I inked the edges with the brown and then the black ink. The sentiments were from another 12x12 Bo Bunny paper and it was actually the boarder pages.. I just cut the words up in sections and glued them onto the frame. I connected the chipboard using brown ribbon from my crafting stash!

I hope you liked my Gift that I have made for my Husband!
