The Teacher, Friend, Wedding, Anyone You Kinda Know Gift

Here's a homemade gift I'm proud of.  Not only is it practical and pretty, but it works for many people AND is inexpensive (about $4 ea!).

It's great for anyone who's married or has kids.  That's just about everyone I know.

This is a great way to let your spouse or child know why they're loved on an ordinary day.

What you need (with my personal costs):
Frame (I used ones with 5x7 openings) $3.36ea
Scrapbook or other decorative paper $.79 (one sheet made three)
Vellum (optional) $already had from college days
Scissors
Pen/ pencil
Decorative flowers (or anything you see fit) $1.89
Hot glue gun & glue
Dry-erase marker $1/ 3pk at dollar store

Pull the back off of your frame and trace onto the back of your decorative paper(just to be safe).
Cut out.

On your computer in a word document, type I love you because... in whatever font and size desired.  You may need to print a couple times to be sure it's the size you need.  When you're satisfied with the font and size, print on your vellum.
Trace and cut out out again so that your paper and vellum are the same size.
If you don't want to use vellum, then print directly on your decorative paper.
Be sure the ink on your vellum is dry before proceeding.

I only used the one pack of 7 & forgot to photograph before using.

Insert into frame.
Apply decorative flowers to the front of frame with your hot glue gun.

Wrap and add a dry- erase marker and you have an inexpensive and homemade gift!
