Since these challenges were designed to be for a shadow box and for a Father's Day gift, I decided to combine them into one project and use them for both challenges (a shadow box for my mom to give to her father). Ok, she asked me to do this for her and I accepted the challenge! My grandpa is full-blooded Italian and I decided to add a touch of culture to this project to honor his Italian heritage. My mom found this great photo of her dad and her when she was just a little girl. I added current pictures of them. In the middle you can see the words to the song As the Years Go By.
The background for the project is green, white, and red, the colors of the Italian flag. The sentiment says, "Loyal Father," "I Love You" in Italian. I used the Gypsy to weld the letters using the Gypsy Font Cricut cartridge. I added hearts from the Plantin SchoolBook Cricut cartridge and the pasta and fork using From My Kitchen Cricut cartridge. My grandfather is known for his wonderful cooking skills and his pasta feeds:) I hope he loves this!

ReplyDeleteMadison, you never cease to amaze me with your creativity! I can remember the Easter Sunday (1962) the picture was taken of your mother shown above when she was two years old, complete with the Easter bonnet and patent leather shoes! She was so prim and proper! Thanks for the memories this brought back to me.
