We got her name while we were watching the Olympics and Maelle Ricker won the snowboard cross gold medal. Eddie & I both thought it was so fitting for our family of "My"s. We just had to change the spelling a bit. Her name is French (also perfect for her because she's part French) for princess. Oh, I love the name Elle too :) - Eddie says it also suits her cause she's also part Scandinavian.
Wall art is made of an 18"x 24" primed canvas, butterfly paper shapes traced from Scenic Route chipboard butterfly and cut out & rhinestones. The writing along the bottom of the canvas was done using a graphite pencil. I smudged her name a bit when I was putting the crown on her name - oops (handmade by mom).
