Emily's Frame

                                          

Today is a really tough day for me, Emily and Mark left with the moving truck this morning heading to Texas.  Erica and I will be flying down tomorrow morning.  I think we are the smart ones, 3 hours in a plane verses 17 hours in a moving truck.  Our house looks so empty, especially her bedroom.  I don't think I am going to be going in there any time soon.  

I made this picture for my Open House, but there was another reason why.  I asked Emily what her colors of her bedroom were, which I already knew, because I needed some inspiration.  What she didn't realize was I was making it for her.  She was having a hard time finding wall hangings for her bedroom, so I thought this would be perfect.  Every time she looks at it I hope she remembers that she is very loved and will be missed.  Emily loves elephants, so when I saw the host set, Love You Lots, I knew I had to have it!  

I saw another demonstrator, Sacha, who designed a frame similar to this and fell in love with it.  I wanted to make it, but make it personal for Emily.  I went to the big M store and found a pack of 4 of the above frames.  I was so excited because I can make more designs with the extra frames.  The frame came with a white mat, which I didn't like for this project, so I made one with the Smoky Slate Card Stock.  

I love the sentiments in the stamp set Layering Love, especially the two that I used on this project.  If you look real close you will see there is a little anchor stamped on the Smoky Slate mat.  Emily loves the nautical theme, so I had to add it.  I also used the stamp set Thoughtful Banners for all the wonderful words I stamped all around the picture.  That is one versatile stamp set!  

If you would like to purchase any of the products below that I used to make this project, just click on the picture.  It will take you to my SU store website.  The Itty Bitty Punch Pack is retired.  

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend.  Think of us unloading a moving truck in 97 degree temps.  It is going to be so much fun!  LOL

Happy Stampin!
