A pretty and easy gift item for someone special!

The front flap section has a magnetic closure, a great detail.

Leave a comment -- tell me how you'd rate this as a gift item! 

You could fill it with favorite recipes, special photos, or CDs -- or love notes!

You could also make it into a memory box for someone's wedding or anniversary, graduation or birthday ... just some creative starters to get your mojo going.

I hope your Thanksgiving Day was filled with blessings!

Family Bracket Frame

Close To My Heart has a "My Creations Bracket Frame" that's so easy to use to create a shadow-boxed frame wall art.

You can cover the bracket frame with any paper choice -- I used Colonial White and stamped "family love home happiness" around the center edges in chocolate ink.

You can see the depth of the frame and how the photo section is recessed:

I chose the Avonlea patterned papers and used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to cut the large paper pleated flower. The two smaller dimensional flowers are from the Cottage Assortment.

Other CTMH items I used include the Irresistable Alphabet (inked with Juniper), Bakers Twine, Canvas Button, Sparkles, and the Avonlea paper border strip "snapshots ... timeless ... blessings" along the bottom of the photo. (My photo wasn't tall enough, so the strip helps to fill the photo space and also give an added effect.)

The bracket frame would make a fantastic gift for someone--for a family--for a graduation--for a birth--for a wedding or an anniversary -- or for any special photo/memory you want to showcase!

You can find the My Creations Bracket Frame on page 132 of the CTMH Autumn Winter Idea Book. 

So glad you stopped by ...
