Wedding Gift Idea

Hello everyone and thanks so much for stopping by today. I wanted to share a wedding gift I made for my granddaughter to give to a friend of hers. Melani ran in here last Thursday and said she needed a gift for a wedding she was going to be in on Saturday. Yikes! What could I make on such short notice that Melani would be proud to give...



I thought about the really pretty frame I had seen over at and I thought if I just printed it off and framed it and not fool with the vinyl I just might could get it done in time.

The new couple's last name started with a "W" so I just created this on the computer and printed it off and framed it. Melani loved it and she called today and said the couple loved it as well. Whew!

I had the frame on hand. It came from Dollar General and was $6. It measured 11 x 14 inches with the printed out matted part measuring 8 x 10 inches.

Let me know what you think. Also, I will be sharing this over at the link parties listed to the right of my blog. Thanks again for stopping by today. Hugz, Diane

Hi Diane,
that is a darling and wonderful wedding gift. My daughter-in-law and daughter would love that.
Where did you get the initials, I have a few that I got from a publishing company, I have a T but need to find a G, then I can make one for each of them.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful, innovative and inexpensive ideas with us.
Your a doll...............
Blessings, Nellie
