After months of not feeling motivated, I finally made something Friday night, which led to me making something, that I had planned since last Christmas, on Saturday. Let’s hope I can keep this ball rolling because I’ve missed crafting.
I bought one of these 7 Gypsies Printer’s Trays last year after seeing this project. This woman did a wonderful job putting hers together, even taking the pictures of her grandkids herself!
Last month I saw this version when I discovered the blog of Angie of Echoes of Laughter. She’s got some fantastic ideas!
I ordered my printer’s tray through Blue Moon Scrapbooking. Fabulous place! Their customer service is amazingly wonderful and if you order your scrapbook supplies online at all, I highly recommend them.
The most difficult thing about this project is picking out papers and embellishments to use! I scrounged around through what I had at home already and, as Angie did with hers above, I laid everything out first to see how I liked the composition.
My final touch was to add several Christmas ribbons tied off to the top handle. I’m really pleased with the way it turned out!
Obviously, you are not limited to Christmas. What a great gift idea and you could really personalize this to the recipient whether it’s baby pictures, a ski trip, a hobby or the family vacation. I may try some of the smaller sizes as gifts for next year. I have included some pictures here of other completed printer’s tray projects I found online.
I apologize for the gap between posts, but I’ve been sick and am just starting to feel a little better.
