Last week I got all hopped up on Starbucks during one of my weekly Target/Hobby Lobby trips, and this was born.
If I had to count the number of pictures I've taken of Miss Lara over the past 12 weeks, it's rapidly approaching 1,000.
I mean, if you looked at this face all day...
I have printed off all the pictures I've taken since birth because I'm terrified the internets going to totally shut down one of these days due to a cyber apocalypse, and I'd lose all my online albums.
I adore each and every picture because they all remind me of a different moment in time, and the emotion to go along with it. She's brought so much love into our lives these past few months and I didn't want to miss a thing.
If you'd like to make your own, it was SUPER simple & super cheap. Speaking my love language right there.
4 supplies:
Foam Board (30% off at Hobby Lobby), Xacto Knife
Scotch double sided tape
LOTS OF PICTURES.
Total spent was less than $10 thanks to Snapfish, the online service I use to print my pics. They give me 100 free prints a month, then add in discounts found on the RetailMeNot app, I print 200-300 pictures at a time for less than $15, INCLUDING SHIPPING.
To start, I free handed the heart without tracing. Remember it doesn't have to be perfect, you are simply using it to provide support and direction on photo placement. Your pictures will stick out all around the edges.
Then you simply begin placing photos all over the heart using the double sided tape.
Thankfully I had a pretty good 'lil helper.
We decided to hang it up in the stairwell for now. We used some command strips so it could be moved if need be. For now, I'm digging it. I love seeing our little girl everytime I use the stairs. Makes the daily up down, up down, up down trips a hundred times more enjoyable.
What are some creative ways you've displayed your pictures outside of traditional frames??
