Gift Ideas

I crafted these a couple years back before I joined CTMH.  These were Christmas gifts for my nieces and nephews for their rooms that year. 

I got the letters at Micheals and I believe that they still have them.  I painted the letters using Folk Art Acrylic Paint. I used Modge Podge to adhere the paper and than emblished with stickers, ribbon, flowers and buttons.

If I were to do the letters today using the same color palette I would be using the Sophia snd Lucky Paper Kits which are found in the current Autumn/Winter Idea Book.
