A Frame By Anyother Name

I have been trying to get around to making this name frame for over a month.

"see editted frame below"

In Dec when I went to see DGS#1 I took my Gypsy with me to use when I had free time. Like when my DD and DGS#1 rested and when I wasn't holding him.

I had picked up 3-3$ frames from Walmart, hoping to make a frame for my DD and my parents and IL's for Christmas. Well everything got so busy I never had time to make the frames. I used a PaperCo. Primary Pack I picked up at Michaels in the fall, Embassy:Basic Black and scraps of I believe SU: Basic Gray, and Going Gray...The SU Designer Paper I picked up last Summer and I cant remeber the name...sorry...If you absolutely have to know comment and I will go find my old catalog and look for it. I was originally going to use the back side of the paper but thought the little clouds went perfect with the little plane...maybe I should add some grass and water for the truck and boat...hmmm...

I love that you can layout a whole mat of cuts and then trim the CS to exact dimensions and place it on the mat where you want it all at once. After Cutting the pieces out I removed the excess from the mat with the Hook from the Cricut:tool kit...then I run the small pieces through my "X"... Xyron. Then I remove the film and excess adhesive from around the edges using the same "hook". The Font is from Lyrical Leters Cart and the Toys are from one of the Mickey carts... Swirls from Graphically speaking. Its been a while since I made the LO so I cant remember where I got the toys from ...give a Grandma a Break!!!LOL

Until later...Happy Stamping!
