I have created a wall plaque to give to my Mum. I'm giving my Mum a sewing machine for Christmas. Now, she happens to have her own craft room, lucky lady. I know that she will love this special plaque I have made for her to hang in there. I have decorated it and made a tag for it and will hand it over with her gift wrapped sewing machine. She'll be blown away.

I made the tag with pieces of scrap paper and used some of the pearls to match. Write your sentiment on the tag. I've used a copper metallic pen to match the colour scheme. |
