Do you remember my love affair with all things black and white with red? Well here is a family picture post we made for the other grandma and grandpa for Christmas. I loved it sooo much, I wanted to keep it, but then they would be super sad.
Since I don't have a cool camera yet, only one picture turned out good enough to use so you can't see the thickness of the post. I am not sure what the measurements were because this was a scrap piece I picked up from a lumbar yard. I want to say something like 4 or 5 inches wide and 3 thick? Not a standard one, but it worked out great.
I painted the post black and mod podged the pictures on. Once again, I don't have my silhouette yet (I am sure any day they will send me my free one, wink, wink), so I did it the old fashion way by printing off my font of choice and tracing them onto my red card stock. I cut a piece of red tulle and tied it at the top. And viola! A family picture post. I did their initials next to their names, but you could do any fun words down the side or even the family's last name.
I am linking up to any or all of these fabulous linky parties here.
You are so creative! I love this!

this is really cute! what a creative idea!
ReplyDeleteI have SCAL for my Cricut and it lets me use ALL the fonts on my computer with it to cut with the cricut. I also have thousands of free images that I use with SCAL, in fact the only cartridges I own for the Cricut are the ones that came with it lol. SCAL is a really good investment, I hate how expensive the cartridges are for the Cricut but this saves the day!
Taking a scrap piece of wood and mod podging pictures onto it is such a great idea! So clever! Now it makes me want to do this project...
ReplyDeleteNice way to have family pictures all in one place. Looks great. Linda
