Just Wing It!

Hey, everyone!

My future s-i-l, Hannah, has a little brother, Seth, who had a birthday recently. I wasn't sure the exact date of his birthday but knew it was coming up and then ON HIS BIRTHDAY my brother tells me what day it is. I was so upset that I wasn't able to give him a gift, so I decided to try to make it up to him. He likes things like hunting and camo and well you know...boy stuff! LOL So, I thought it would be great to use the Just Like Dad Wing It Collection (V-925) from The Angel Company. Here is what I came up with:
Each piece measures 4x4 and the layers are a scalloped square using the Super Jumbo Scalloped Square Punch (D-704) and a green square using a punch I have. The letters were cut out using my Sizzix machine and Lollipop alphabet dies. The square layers are mounted with pop dots (D-89) and I used some green ribbon from my stash to tie the large squares together. If you don't have a lot of chipboard on hand to make your own squares you could use the 4" Square Coasters in the catalog (H-102) to make this. You get 6 coasters in a package.

I really hope he likes this!! I enjoyed making it and it didn't take long at all. I'd love to hear what you think about this project. Just leave me a comment and if you make one, or have made one, let me know. I'd love to see it!

Hugs,
