NAME IN ART...

I GOT INSPIRED TODAY WHEN I SAW A POST ON A BLOG CALLED

MY 3 MONSTERS. IT LOOKED LIKE A FAIRLY EASY PROJECT

WITH ALOT OF PUNCH SO I GOT BUSY ON THE COMPUTER DOWN LOADING

IMAGES FROM FLICKER.PUT THE PROJECT TOGETHER IN PHOTOSHOP AND

PRINTED IT OUT ON MY PRINTER.

GOT A OLD FRAME AND PAINTED IT BLUE.THE MATTING WAS WHITE AND

WAS A LITTLE SCRUFFED UP SO I PAINTED THAT TOO WITH A COLOR

CALLED SUADE.

TAKE A LOOK

BEFORE...



PAINTING OF THE MATTING

THIS IS WHAT THE PICTURE LOOKED LIKE BEFORE I FRAMED IT...

AFTER...



I LOVE IT. AND I WAS SO HAPPY WITH IT I HUNG IT RIGHT UP..

ITS AN EASY PROJECT AND MAKES A GREAT GIFT.

I USED MY FIANCE'S LAST NAME, MY LAST NAME AND THE YEAR WE

BOUGHT OUR HOUSE. BUT YOU CAN USE ANY COMBINATIONS OF LETTERS YOU

WANT..

SINCE I POSTED THIS I DECIDED TO MAKE

MY IN-LAWS A PRINT FOR CHRISTMAS.

I LOVED THE WAY IT LOOKED IN THIS NICE THICK FRAME. I GOT THE FRAME AT

MARSHALLS THEY HAD A REALLY GREAT SALE ITS A $40 DOLLAR FRAME AND

I ENDED UP GETTING IT FOR $15.00. AND THE FRAME IS THICK ENOUGH SO THAT YOU COULD JUST STAND IT UP IF YOU DONT WANT TO HANG IT ON THE WALL.

THE DEAL WAS SO GREAT I PICKED UP ONE FOR MYSELF AND DECIDED TO CHANGE THE FRAME ON MY PROJECT... ILL USE THE OTHER FRAME FOR ANOTHER PICTURE DOWN THE LINE. A GIRL CAN CHANGE HER MIND...
