T is for Tayla by Tracey Cooley

Hi Creators

My husband works away a lot and my beautiful 8yr old daughter Tayla is a wonderful help to me, she helps me with her little sister (3), does chores and is generally a wonderful young lady. So as a surprise I made this frame for her bedroom wall as a gift for all that she does.

I purchased 2, 8"x10" black frames from my local discount store and then cut a piece of white cardstock with the Couture Creations Fantasia Doily Die Irish Dreams (first applying the ejection foam that comes with the die that is found in between the back packaging).

I stamped a T for her name in the middle of the doily. Then with Couture Creations 12ml Double Sided Tape I covered the gap in the back of the doily, just around the centre. Flipping in over I used my Couture Creations Precision Craft Knife to trim away any unwanted tape. I then applied some blue glitter (being Tayla's favourite colour).

I then took the glass from my second frame and sandwiched the doily in between it and the original frame. HINT: I made some chipboard chocks to keep the glass in place as I did not want to use the backing board from the frame but you could use silicone to do this as a more permanent solution.
