Mother's Day Mod Podge Canvas Photos

Last night we had a mother daughter activity through our church. It was so fun! I was lucky and my mom was in town and I have two daughters so my mom got to come and be my daughters Bree's date. It was special to have my mom with me at this activity too! Mom and Daughter activities are the best!

The decorations were amazing! My friend who was in charge owns and manages a wedding business, hence beautiful decorations!!

 We had assigned seating with our daughters.

 Bree and Grandma!

 Me and Bo.

We started off by playing a get to know you game. You took a handful of M&M's and divided them out by color. Then they had Questions posted on the wall.

Whatever color you had the most of you had to answer that question. My question was... If you could take a picture of yourself anywhere in the world where would it be??

I said I got lucky and had already done this. I choose the Redwood Forest. It is the most amazing place! Trees that are sooo big around, and over 300 feet tall. We got to go there on a family vacation 2 years ago. Most Beautiful Place Ever!!

Then at this point we started a Mod Podge Canvas Print Photo. The canvas' were provided for this activity. The pictures were taken by the leader a week in advance. 

You will need:

• 1 8x10 canvas
• 1 8x10 picture
• Paint color of your choice
• Mod Podge®
• Disposable paint brushes

Step 1: The first step was to paint the canvas sides. Sorry... I forgot to take a picture at this point as my hands were busy holding the canvas for my daughter while she painted the sides with a silver glittery color. 

We then went back to the tables and let the sides dry for about 10 minutes. We had other moms and daughters answer their questions. It was so fun to hear some of their questions and answers. One that stuck out was, What was something that you were glad that your mom taught you that you are going to teach with your own daughter?? This little 8 year old girl cracked us up with, she was glad her mom taught her how to be pody training and she is excited to teach her daughter. We were laughing so hard!

Step 2:  Paint the top of the canvas with Mod Podge®. Just make sure that their isn't too much glue. Lay your picture, centered on the canvas. Press down and make sure their are no bubbles. After a few minutes... paint over the entire picture with Mod Podge®. Let dry. If you need additional information this tutorial is great!

At this point we went back to our tables and finished the mommy daughter questions and let the pictures completely dry.
We then had some yummy desserts. My favorite was the Sherbet. Delicious!

Me and my two beautiful daughters, Bo and Bree. We had such a fun night together. 

We stayed a little bit after the activity and helped clean up.... well at least I did. These two girls were having too much fun.

Here are our finished Mom/Daughter Canvas Photos! I hung them in their room!
What was fun, was that they did this themselves! They loved painting the edges and gluing the pictures.
This was such a wonderful night to spend with my two daughters and my mom!

I love being a mom. I love having daughters. I loved having my mom here to share this special night with me and my daughters. I think I might just go make one for my mom...

Good Day!
