Not my usual crafty share but something I worked on recently for my
son Robert's birthday. Three days spent in the shed with painting
and drilling, but worth it when I gave it to him and saw his look of surprise.
So here it is, a board to hold his medals and on the left, hooks and
bulldog clips to hold his running bibs.
After I had finished painting (3 coats of paint) I didn't like the patchy finish,
so I gave it a good sanding and it ended up with a sort of denim finish
which I preferred. I stamped the verse on the left with Archival Ink,
for "Celebrate Every Mile" letters were from my hoarding pile of Grunge board die cuts
painted with silver Distress Paint.

The verse below seemed appropriate as he is a huge film fan.

| Running verse |
He runs regularly and has completed quite a few half marathons both here, Paris and Helsinki..
However I may have overdone it with the hooks, but he has plenty of time to fill them up!

I purchased a large sheet of mdf and after cutting the above board
I asked the diy shop to cut the remainder of the sheet into 12" square panels,
ready to use at one of our craft group meetings.
A mixed media board is on the cards, just got to organise it now.
