Conference Craft

This last weekend was Conference. We sat on the couch for two days. I couldn't take it, I had to be doing something more active, so I thought I would get a craft done. I have been wanting to make a family tree for my home. I found one on the blog, Sutton Grace and totally had to make it. I have a problem with needing to make things I see online. You should see my bookmark list, seriously. This project was so EASY, you could make one in a weekend like I did. Or one day if you don't have kids bugging you. Sutton Grace had the templates and instructions, everything, it was amazing.
I cut out my tree.


And leaves.


I couldn't decide what color to do the leaves, (green with green, or green with blue).


I chose the greens.

I wrote everyone's names on the leaves and glued them on. And Viola!

Total project cost: $3 paper, $3 glue dots, $5 goodwill frame = $11

I keep looking at it thinking I should paint the frame, but I don't know, what do you think?

By the way…. Conference was AWESOME!

I'd paint the frame one of the greens.
Wish your creative genes had come from me!!!

Hey Kristina, I am trying to figure this project out! I am making 3 of them for Christmas and I can't figure out how to get the tree image on that big of a piece of paper! How did you do it and what size of frame did you get? HELP!
