Frog Favorite Friends #3

I know that if you have ever done a Mod Podge craft then you have heard of this Frog Favorite Friend.

Amy from Mod Podge Rocks is totally awesome and I just had to share our "story" with. HA, like we have been friends for years or something.

When I started blogging, I ran across Amy's blog and on a whim I emailed her asking the most obscure questions about Mod Podge projects. Do you know what happened? That lovely lady emailed me back explaining how to complete my project. Not only once but several times and even on the weekend when I was in panic mode for a last minute Father's Day gift.

I swear this lady is SO helpful you will wish you could stick her in your pocket or maybe just text her every day with crafty questions.

But it doesn't stop there it is not that she is helpful but she SO nice! Even with some of the stupid questions I asked she never once made me feel like it was a stupid question. It was just the opposite actually. She makes you feel like you are the most important part of her day.

 You have to go and check out Amy's google profile here see all of the wonderfully crafty things she is involved in. I would highlight them all but we would be here all day. Seriously, this lady does everything!

If you have not already, go check her out, follow her on twitter, like her on facebook, JUST STALK her because you will not find another blogger like Amy and she truly is a fantastic resource!!

~HUGS to AMY and to you all for listening to me SING HER PRAISES!

FD gift #2 - Where Life Begins

Here is another FD gift the kids and I made for hubs! I tried to take a ton of pictures in hopes that it would be like a mini tutorial. So, let me know what you think!

Supplies Needed:

1 8x10 Canvas

1Can of Rust-Oleum Spray Paint (any color will do but I used Ultra 2x Gloss Purple)

Scrapbook paper

Mod Podge Glue

Foam Paint Brush

Pencil

Sharpies

As many little Hands as you have

My blank canvas! Just waiting patiently

to be be prettied up with that AWESOME

spray paint!

Take that canvas outside and spray away. Start with the

edges/sides first and then do the main part of the canvas.

Ooooh, la, la. Pretty in Purple!!

Now go get all of those hands that I said you would need.

Trace around 1 from each kid on regular paper and cut out

like this.

You could skip this step if you do not have messy kids.

I have SUPER sticky, messy, yucky kids so I did not

want to ruin the scrapbook paper.

Want to know how I made the shape for the heart...

SUPER CUTE! But I actually used daddy's hands.

Trace your hands on to your scrapbook paper. And

cut them out again...

Like this!

Now get your Mod Podge and foam brush.

"Paint" the wrong side first and arrange how

you want them to look. I did this...

Then I googled "family vinyl" (I do not have one of

those fancy cutting machines) and found this little saying,

"Family, where life begins."

I used a silver Sharpie to write directly on to the

canvas and a black one to write on the heart.

AND

TAAAA-DAAAAAAAA!

The "family" could have been straighter but I am

a lefty and that is difficult! Eeeek!

How did I do???

Alright, my HOPPY friends I will be back later with my HOO Are you Post (I hope)! Have a terrific Tuesday!!!!

~Hugs~

P.S. I am still waiting! Some one send me some patience please!!!!
