One of the Big Picture Boot Camp prompts by the practical yet inspiring Tracey Clark was to actually (gasp!) print and display our photos. I rarely do that anymore and it IS a shame not to enjoy them more, don’t you think?
I wasn’t going to do this one because there are 12 prompts in 12 days and who can keep up? But then my friend Kelly posted about it and hers looked so great and so I gave in. Simply select a phrase, some pictures, and put one letter of your phrase on each 4×4 (or whatever size you fancy) page. I liked how Kelly used a shape to accentuate her letters so I used a leaf shape at 60% opacity. I printed 4×6 pictures onto 4×6 photo paper and cropped them down to be square. I used my corner rounder punch and also punched holes for my string.
And ta da! I hung it on hemp cord (found in the jewelry design section of the craft store) in our living room above the TV. Now I’m addicted… what else can I print and make?
Happy to add this post to Jane’s Post of the Month Club.
I am so far behind in my blog commenting! I just saw this and I love it!! Beautiful pictures and such a cool idea!! I’ll be pinning this one, too!
This is so sweet. Perfect for a birthday party deco, I thought! x
Ooh! That’s a fantastic idea!
That’s great and you can change it every season, every holiday. You’ll never run out of things to print that way.
Oh, I wanted to tell you about a new meme I started on Mondays in case you want to play along On Mondays, you’ll find My Dreaming of France meme
Paulita, thanks for stopping by and for commenting. I just visited your blog and enjoyed reading!
It is amazing how foreign printing pictures has become! I should take the plunge, too!
Definitely! It’s so easy… even just to print them at Costco for 7 cents, you know?
Looks so good but my printer has just died 🙁
How fun! Looks really cool. Imagine how much fun you can have with all the different holidays.
So cute and great for any time of year.
Now I am jealous that I did not take that class. . Yours looks very cool.
I love it naomi!! looks so awesome. beautiful photos. 🙂
I’m so glad you made one too… I really wouldn’t have attempted it! I’m going to make the celebration tree as soon as I find some plaster of paris. 🙂
