Pay it Forward gifts and exmple of DAISY TREAT aka BLOG CANDY!!!

Okay, here are the gifts I came up with for the Pay it Forward game. It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to create, but I finally settled on this. These are actually wood wall hangings for your craft area. I decided to use the word "create" in hopes that it would inspire the recipients when they are in a stampin' rut. :) I hope they like them!

To make these little creations I first went down to my FIL's shop to steal some scrap wood. But when I got down there I totally scored! He was actually mixing up custom stains for a customer and I got the "reject" samples. Not only were they the perfect size they were already sanded!!! I brought the scraps home and painted them with craft paint and sanded the edges of the paint after they were dry. I cut the letters out with my Cricut and used Mod Podge to adhere the desginer paper and the letters. I used tacky glue to attach the ribbon and flower. Oh I should mention that I got those little "saw tooth" picture hangers in the hardware aisle of Wal-Mart and attached those to the back of the wood after I had painted them.
Okay, about that Daisy Treat (aka blog candy). If you post a comment on the previous post you will have a chance to win a hand-made wall hanging like you see in the pics! If I draw your name I will let you decide the color combo and word for your wall hanging! (That way it will match your stamp area or whatever room you have in mind!) So if you are interested scroll down to the previous post to get the details! Thanks for playing along!
