Framed Quotes -Fun Gift Idea!
October 17, 2007 in Crafts
Kris, our very talented studio organizer and my assistant, made some wonderful gifts recently for our staff. They are framed quotes using Scrapbook papers and cute do-dahs. What was so special about these, is that she selected the quote and designed the frame to suit each recipient. I asked Kris for any tips or thoughts she had about creating these.
From Kris:
- I created as Christmas gifts for co-workers: something to decorate their desks and bring a smile to their face.
-
The first (and most fun!) step was to search for applicable quotes for each person. - I used inexpensive frames that were easy to customize.
- I used up Paper scraps and mis-matched supplies
- I also included a personalized note on the back of each frame (i.e. Mandie, CPA - "I don't know much about being a millionaire, but I bet I'd be darling at it." The note on the back of her frame said "Mandie... Money isn't really everything, but it sure is fun to play with, isn't it?! -Kris")
It was so fun to see what Kris created for you, but just as fun to see and read everyone else’s.

This is such a great idea, Kris, and a wonderful way to use paper scraps, bits of left over ribbon, stickers etc.
I bet the office was over flowing with smiles when you distributed your cute gifts! :-) What a thoughtful thing to do for everyone.
