The traditional gifts or elements of a second anniversary are Glass, Crystal or Cloth. So the DT was challenged with making projects that contained these elements or elements that represent them.
I refurbished a framed glass mirror for my craft room....
My paper frame was cut from the Sentimentals Cartridge and white vinyl butterfly from Storybook Cartridge
I'm entering my Butterfly Mirror into the Craft Your Days Away Challenge #45 "All Creatures Big and Small"
For my cloth project, I made a miniature Americana banner. I cut USA letters from the Storybook Cartridge with blue fabric using heat and bond. Star tags were pre-cut and decorated with a few embellishements. I attached vintage jumbo eyelets with the Cropadile, then strung twisted hemp rope through each hole.
Linking both projects to: Sunday's Are Lovely Link Party 9

I really like the two projects, but I LOVE the embellished mirror. It would look great in my room, too. Thanks for sharing. You and many others have challenged me to think outside the box (not limiting to my normal cardmaking). Thanks.
