Maddison


I made this frame from magnet material using the Gypsy Wanderings cart after watching the dvd I bought from Above Rubies Studio on Gypsy A to Z. I have found this to be a terrific help in getting to know my new toy :) I glued cardstock rather then using vinyl to get the brown and pink Coleen luvs so much :)
I had forgotten to take a pic before giving to Coleen on Mother's Day as a little thank you for the brunch and she took one for me with and added BONUS! Maddison! she's soooooooo cute :)
thank you Coleen!
