This year, Jackson will be sending a few little somethings in the mail to his Grandparents for Valentine’s Day, because let’s face it, what grandparent doesn’t like getting cute things from their grandchildren?!
I created a little photo prop for him to hold using the following materials,
wooden letters, I and U
wooden heart
chalkboard & hearts scrapbook paper
Mod Podge
paper mache letter O
white acrylic paint
foam brush
I traced the letter O shape onto the backside of the scrapbook paper and glued it down using the Mod Podge. I also Mod Podged a strip of the paper along the edge. {Why the letter O? Well, it was in my craft stash, sitting there, doing nothing, so I figured, why not?!}
I also painted the letters I and U with white acrylic paint.
Once everything was dry, I hot glued the wooden letters to the front side of the prop.
Then, I got my little cutie dressed for the day and we had a little photo shoot for Grandma & Grandpa. Here is my favorite shot.
I had visions of going outside, but it was raining, for several days.
Grandma & Grandpa won’t care…who wouldn’t love that sweet face?!
We’re adding the picture to his Valentine Cards {that I’ll be sharing tomorrow}!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I’ll be linking up here!
