wedding gifts

I am always at a loss of what I should give when it comes to wedding gifts. 

I don't have hundreds of dollars to shell out when we go to weddings. 

So that is out. 

We have a wedding coming up in August. 

I saw this amazing idea on Decor to Adore

and since I don't have hundreds of dollars to shell out

I certainly don't have hundreds of dollars to purchase that. 

So with a little thinking I came up with this. 

I grabbed my trusty vintage dictionary and started to rip pages out. 

I used J and B pages since there names are Jessica and Brian.

Cut a whole bunch of hearts.

Grabbed a letter stamp. 

and some wood grain scrap book paper

(I thought it reminded me of a tree)

You know when you carve out your loved ones name onto a tree...

are you following my thought process here...?

Went to Michael's armed with my coupon... and found a shadowbox that was already 40 off

plus had a 25 off coupon. 

SCORE! 

I LOVE IT! 

I hope they do as well. 

I showed my sister who is going to a wedding on Sat. 

She loved it too. 

She asked if I would mind if she made one.

Mind??? No way, that is the best compliment ever! 

Go Craft. 

or knock someone else's expensive Craft Art off.

the end.
