I always love projects made for the men in our lives, and I love the crossword printed on a bag. Very creative! I had just yesterday decided I wanted to use a crossword in my mixed media, and that is a great way to do it.
This is an altered mini SMASH! book that I created for my dad. In celebration of his 70th birthday, I created a "70 Things" book for part of his gift. For the cover, I used a Blue Fern Studios (BFS) medallion from the Ornate Medallions set and the arrow from the Icon Set One. This is not a "frilly" creation since it's for Dad. :) Inside the book, my girls and I have listed 70 things we love about him, written notes, etc. The cover includes a crossword he did at our house during Christmas week while he was here. He LOVES crosswords. I scanned the crossword he completed from the newspaper, and I printed it on a grocery bag so it would match the cover. Then I spritzed the awesome BFS chippies with Heidi Swapp tinsel color shine, and then I threw on some black gesso. I also stamped the date on the BFS arrow for his birthday. I pray he likes it.
