Hi there-hope you had a great weekend!? We flew back to IL for a few days to celebrate Jeff?s Grandpa?s 90th birthday! How incredible?
I mentioned last week?what do you get someone who is 90? I had seen family tree ideas in Martha Stewart?s Living a couple years ago and always thought what a nice idea to make for someone. I knew this is what I wanted to make for him to celebrate his birthday as his family is everything to him and he is so proud of the family he & his late wife created. That?s the focus I used on this particular family tree?the ?family? started with their marriage rather than his ancestors, but you can design it any way you want with this layout.
I even like the slight imperfection of the gold outline to show it's handmade quality. :)
I put it in a really nice frame and bubble-wrapped the heck out of it to transport it on the plane and thankfully, it arrived undamaged!
I made a gift tag out of green faux bois paper with ?happy birthday? in a pretty script stamped in gold.
He seemed really touched with the gift and that I was the one that made it for him. He is such a wonderful and inspiring man so it was my pleasure to make him something to show our love!
I am pretty happy with how it turned out. The only thing I would of liked to change is the quality of the paper. The copy place?s printer wouldn?t read the file for a printer that would use my paper?whatever that was about?
