i just knew she would love it! how very nice for both of you.

There was NO way she wouldn't have loved it....I'm a bit teary eyed here picturing the scene. Thanks for letting us know how it went!

I know you've already given it to your SIL. Good for you! Even better ... I'm glad she had a reaction that made it all worthwhile.

I think the idea is wicked cute! Although I certainly understand the comments on possibly more pics, I think the piece also works very well as is. Given the play on words, I don't think there could be such a thing as too many flowers. Whether or not some of those flowers could have been pics is probably personal preference.

BEAUTIFUL ... in concept ... in sentiment ... in implementation.

What a beautiful present!!! I am glad to hear you did not change it. As said previously, one picture says it all. I really think it was perfect as is.

I just saw this and I think it is beautiful. I'm glad to hear your SIL loved it. The best gifts come from the heart and this one certainly did. Creativity doesn't hurt either.

I totally agree with everyone! This is really adorable and a great gift. While a few more pictures would have been fine, I think it worked great the way you made it. Thanks for the directions too.

I just saw this and think it is one of the most precious things I've ever seen. What a truly wonderful gift to have given and an even better gift to have received. Thanks for sharing it!

As a mom of a child with autism, I can say your SIL is a one in a million gem, and that is a gorgeous arrangement you made for her.

I love it! my DF is foster/adopting a brother & two sisters (4 1/2, 3 and 16 months) they have a 7 yr old DD and I was trying to think of something special for her for photos, (she doesn't scrapbook) ......would you mind if I scrap lifted your idea? I think she would love it too!

It was Perfect for Sil, just the way it was! The single photo fit the message!

Now, if you make one for grandma, speaking as a grandma, change the verse to something about grandchildren being flowers in the garden or some such thing, and make LOTS of the flowers have photos on them because we LIVE for photos of the grand kids!

I love your flowers....their so pretty. But I think you need to add a few more pictures and take a few flowers out. It'll make a wonderful gift....

I wouldn't mind at all!

Thank you again for all your kind words. My 2 children are my MIL youngest and definately last grandchildren so there will be less flowers and more pics for her. And I already got a call from my other SIL this afternoon...guess who's getting one too.

I love it! I think a few more pictures would be nice but even if you left it just as is it would be great! I love gifts like that!

 

[labdogs42]

That is beautiful! I never would have thought to do that with my Cricut! You are very creative. I will be stealing this idea for Mother's Day!!

 

[Michellepooh]

That is absolutely beautiful! I love the colors you chose! So glad to hear that SIL liked it so much.

I made the same flowers using chipboard shapes last year, the idea came from a craft mag.
I think yours are very good & well done.
