I worked on this project early in February as a birthday gift to the sweet little girl of a friend from work. Due to the busy work sched, I was unable to make it in time for her birthday, but I heard that she liked it. She especially liked touching it, which was so gratifying for me because I specifically picked all the different elements for their textures. The bright pink post-its are placeholders for the family members' photos: "N" for Nanay (mom), "T" for both Tatay (dad) and Tala (the birthday girl's name, and such a pretty one at that). I really had fun with this one and was glad that it can be easily finished in one weekend: one day to choose what goes into it (as I have a lot of stuff that needs sorting through and putting away) and another to put everything together. Here's the finished project:
This was actually inspired by this project on scrapbooksetc.com:
...which I thought would be a great handmade gift for a baby/toddler. The only difference probably is that mine was made to be touched, instead of being just on display. I hope the glue holds up :). Good thing that I used DCWV Adhesive Paper Prints for all the patterned paper, just needed to be cut into squares and then it sticks readily to the canvas base. Alphabet stickers and many of the other shapes from All About Scrapbooking, the rest are from Craft World, Darice, K&Company, Making Memories, Michael's, Papermelroti, and Yellow Violet House.
