Sub Way Art.....a do it yourself project!!

So I am in gift making mode! And I have been seeing these great subway art signs all over the place. Now everyone has different tutorials up for doing these yourself.....so I looked around and then came up with a plan to make my own. I wanted these to be easy peasy......all you need is your Photoshop elements......your printer and some great fonts.....all of mine were free and found easily around the internet!
I decided what I wanted my sign to say and then played around with different fonts until I got it just right.....
then I stole some of my daughters water color paper..(love the texture!) and ran it through the printer!
These are the ones I came up with today.....this one will be for my daughters music teacher....I already had the frame and just added some cute buttons!!

This next one was the first one I did......I really like it and decided to keep it for myself!!

I already had this frame as well and I think this will look great in my hallway this Holiday season!!!

This last one is not framed yet.......this will be for my kids art teacher.....I think I want to get a piece of wood, spray paint it black and then mod podge this on. We will see. I love the quote though.....perfect for an art teacher at a Christian co-op!!

These are so easy and I think they look really classy! I am so glad I decided to try my hand at it!! I have some bible verses I would love to do this with as well!!!

Layouts, Cards and a Wall hanging

This is a catch up post! I was busy this week creating but did not have a lot of time to share. I made a few cards for friends this week.

This is a layout I did for the Digichicks sketch of the week

I put together this wall hanging for a dear friend that needed some encouragement.

And lastly I did this layout today for another challenge over at the digichick.

I have a couple of paper scrapped layouts that are almost done...just need some finishing touches and then I can share those as well!

We are getting back into routines around here and easing in to our school year. And just to add to the mix I signed up for Shimelles Learn Something New Everyday class that starts Sept. 1! I love Shimelles classes and can't wait to get into this one!

I even hit the scrapbook store to get a cool album for this class...It is a Maya road Chipboard album in a really neat size! I will share it soon!

Have a super weekend and happy scrapping!!

Wall Art

I love creating gifts for others....especially ones that focus on Gods word. Today I am going to share 2 very special gifts that I recently made. The first one I made for a good friends son who was baptized. This is his favorite verse.



The next one I just finished today and we will be giving it to the missionary family whose house we are watching for the next two weeks.

Creating for His glory is always a blessing to me!! I love praying and coming up with the perfect verse to share and gift someone with!
May you be blessed as you create for His glory today!
