Grandma's Gift

So for my Grandmother's 79th birthday and Mother's Day I obtained a 10x13 inch photo of the photo shoot we did when Cody was two weeks old.  I bought a simple picture frame and then bought two mattes (white on white and black on black) and cut them to size for the photo.  I got a photo mattes cutter for Easter and I see SOOOOO many projects in my future at a much cheaper dollar sign.  I know that'll make my husband happy!  Anyways, after cutting the mattes to fit the photo and frame I went to Ben Franklin's vinyl shop and had a custom made vinyl cling (yes I made up the saying on the picture all by myself!)  made to fit the mattes and frame perfectly,  then I applied the vinyl.  My friend and super crafty wizard Sonja told me to just use my cricket to make the vinyl cling, but I didn't like any of the font cartridges that I had for it... May have to remedy that.... =)  Simple project and cost a total of $30.  Sure beats $230 that JoAnn Fabrics charged my mother for the same thing (well they made the frame to fit)!!  I know that my grandmother will love it and I can't wait to give it to her tomorrow.....
