Dallas Cowboys Shadow box.

This year I made many of my Christmas gifts. I just wanted to do something different this year. And it was really great cause I didn't have to go shopping at the malls, just at places like JoAnn's and Michael's.

Since my sister's boyfriend is a big Cowboys fan, and he was in their fan magazine, I made him a Dallas Cowboys Shadow frame. I had a lot of fun doing it. My family kept giving him a hard time cause he's not a Niner's fan. LOL But I think it turned out neat.
I matted the cover and the profile on blue paper and it was neat, all you did was use the hook part of some velcro to attach it to the frame. I found a really cool silver helmet that he really loved at the local Shirtique store, and I found a neat Dallas pin too.
I went to my local scrapbook store to get those NFL stickers from Jolees, only to find that they had discontinued making them. Not sure if they lost the license or what. But it really bummed me out. SO, I went online and found their logo letters, and cut out "Cowboys" and matted that. I then found a Star Punch from Fiskars and used that. Luckily I had a 50% off coupon from JoAnn's so it didn't cost that much.
I did leave a little bit of space for him to put his own pin or something next to the star. He really really liked it, which was really cool! I'm glad that he did. :)
