5 Min Gift: Mod Podge Style

I've been re-purposing a lot of things in my scrapbook closet lately. My husband used to golf. So this sign naturally was perfect for him. He gave up golf about 3 or so years ago and long story short, this sign had no use in our house. It's a metal sign. I needed a gift for my Aunt Linda's surprise party a couple of weeks ago in like no time flat (I was running late with making the food). I knew I wanted to make her a sign and I knew I wanted it to be a sweet meaningful saying/quote. So after I found the quote... I started digging around as to what/how I would present it. I used this metal sign to mod podge her favorite color scrapbook paper to the front

Like so. I wanted to create a "matted" picture frame effect of sorts.

For those of you who don't know what Mod Podge is... here's the bottle. Its great stuff. A closeup of the paper I used. Pretty huh? She loves all things purple!

The quote/saying I used. Only her's had the scripted words bolded in purple! Nice effect!

Here she is opening it and ready intently... notice the double ribbon hanger!

At this point she is tearing up and trying to see and I quote "who did this to me?". I was right in front of her taking pictures and she looks up at me and says, "Jenn of course it was you Jenn." That was all I needed!

I never took a pic of the finished project... but you get the idea. It was very easy and as you can tell it made my Aunt Linda's day. That is what I was going for. She's the best lady ever!
