Hands down, I love love love crafting. It's so relaxing to just paint or draw, even if the artistic level is subpar.. I was feeling crafty on a long drive, explained in fridays post, so I thought I'd make the boyf a little surprise gift to receive in the mail. Granted its more so for my pleasure to see when I visit than his, but bottom line I think it's cute!

I picked up a simple less than 5 dollar 4x6 wooden frame, so I could decorate! I decided to paint in black and I bought letters because I was debating using them or risking my shaky handwriting...Read on to see what I ended up doing!
(materials used: Wooden 4x6 frame | bought at local A.C Moore |, Paintbrushes, lettering, basic paint, modge podge and medium matte (I had from projects before, but it came it handy...also bought at local Michaels Craft Store), and your desired picture printed). I was shocked to see how fast it dried so I was able to finish this project in less than 24 hours!
Once black paint was dry, I added some red details! (heart, writing, etc)
I also used both medium matte and mod podge just to see what would happen and I loved the results! It gave it a clean and smooth finish!
I also decided to just put the writing on the back because as I've stated before I am such a simple person when it comes to designs of all sorts........Its such a simple craft to do and regardless of the outcome, its always the thought that matters (right?..)
Enjoy your mondays lovelies!
