Although we have never referred to Savanah as "princess", she sure the heck acts like one! So when I came across this quote on pinterest I knew I had to make it.
I found the perfect frame at HL. I wish I had a before picture to show you. Imagine: white satin ribbon tied in a bow that the picture was hanging from, blue and white striped background, and a wooden letter in the middle. It was cute, but definitely for a nursery. I started by taking off the ribbon. I then carefully hammered off the back of the shadowbox frame. Finally, I pulled off the letter and the backing until I was left with a clean slate.
I had a total FAIL the first time around. I designed the layout in my Making the Cut studio and just printed it from there. I originally had it on a really cute piece of pink paper, but I went a little crazy with the distressing ink after. Oops!
So, I reprinted it on paper I already had and went from there. I added a little bling to embellish the sides and was a lot more lenient with the distressing ink this time around. A little glue to the back and I was done.
Warning: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! I was quite the tater tot while I was doing this project. Before I glued the two pieces back together, I decided to clean the glass. Long story short, I slid my hand down the side of the glass at the exact moment that the cloth slipped out of my hand. Yeah, it hurt. I might have even had it wrapped in gauze the next day at school. Maybe...
