So, this project took me TWO afternoons instead of just one (and neither Megan nor Dan missed any meals). I printed these pictures a couple of months ago and wanted to do something cute with them to put up in Megan's room. After spending the morning at a mall play place with my mom, sister-in-law Amy, Amy's 3 kids, and Megan, I stopped by Hobby Lobby to get a frame and scrapbook paper for the background.
My sister-in-law Ali is a fantastic digital scrapbooker and has done some cute pages that have a similar vintage black and white feel so I decided to go with it.
I downloaded the font for the sayings from dafont.com (my new favorite site)and looked at some vinyl lettering sites to find a saying I liked.
In all, the paper, glue, and frame cost less than $9. Pretty cheap for a cute project. The frame was marked down because of a dent (good luck finding it!) so that helped keep the cost extra low.
Anyway. I love (LOVE) how it turned out. And I'm kind of sad to be done already. I think I need to do projects more often; I really enjoy them.

Love it! and I love dafonts as well. I also like urbanfonts.com too
it is very cute! If you need another project, I will send you pictures of my boys and some money and you can have at it! It seriously looks really good.
I love it! That's a great idea. I totally understand getting consumed in projects.
Super-cute! Good for you for doing projects. I need to get back into that. And I'm glad you had a good trip.
Megan sleeps in the cutest positions ever! Glad to hear y'all are doing so many fun things.
So so cute! I love it! You are so creative and talented. I love doing projects too. I wish the relief society still did more craft nights like when our parents were our age.
Wow Amber! That looks great. I like the idea of putting in a picture frame to hang it up. I hadn't thought of doing something like that. Thanks for the props, too. You guys are great!
Kayda loves the toilet paper too! It's nice that she keeps herself entertained for you to be able to do that stuff.
Super cute!
