I pinned this a while back:
It comes from Dittle Dattle. I liked the various black-and-white backgrounds with the red letters. I had a frame from IKEA that I thought I could use. The first couple of years, it hung like this:
When I moved, it hung like this:
I removed the flower pictures and selected some paper from year.o.graphy. I loved KI Memories' old Colorful collection, and my friend Nancy steered me toward this collection. It is perfect for me. I love the colors, and I am very seasonally bound with my speech therapy units. I picked a solid color for "Let's" and chevron paper for TALK. I reversed the idea from the original pin because I really liked the chevron paper.
Then, I cut "Let's" in 3-inch letters on my Cricut using Lyrical Letters. TALK needed to be more solid, so I cut 5-inch letters from my Disney cartridge. All papers are from year.o.graphy. I also inked the edges with Tim Holtz's Vintage Photo Ink. For the weird edges, I put ink on a cotton pad. There may be a better way. I ended up picking off cotton strands frequently. You can't even really see the outlined edges, but I like it. I adhered everything with a glue stick.
Here's what's going on my wall:
The Good: I really like this - it will be perfect in my room! I like the look and the saying.The Bad: Using various backgrounds from the original pin may have been better because I wanted to make sure the chevron patterns lined up.
Summary: Pretty easy to make, uses word art appropriate for me, and I'm looking forward to putting it up!
