My First Name Frame!!!

I made my first name frame tonight! It is for my 7th grade teacher that I still keep in contact with today! I am so proud of myself. It took me over 2 hours to make it, but I'm so excited on how it came out. It's hard to see but I stamped the word "always" in the Hodgepodge circle. I'm always telling her that I will "always" call her by her proper teacher name Mrs. Patton because she will always be my teacher. I am seeing her on Wednesday so I'm going to give it to her then (I hope she doesn't look at my blog before then! If so surprize Mrs. Patton!). I used Lovely Liliac and Certenly Celery ink and cardstock and peices from the Hodgepodge hardware set. I also used the Print Pattern background stamp for the background and the flower image from the Little Pieces set and the white gel pen for the dots on the background. I did for faux stitching around the letters stamped in certenly celery. I'm pretty pround of my accomplishment. There are definately some parts that aren't perfect, but I'm so glad I did it and I hope that Mrs. Patton likes it when I give it to her.
