Anyway, yesterday as I was browsing Etsy, I came across this print.

I loved it instantly. In fact, I almost bought it, but the crafty side of me wouldn't allow it. I knew I could make one similar using Photoshop. So, I got started.About five minutes into my poster making, I realized that I could make a sign similar with old magazines and some white paper for a more "home made" feel.
I thought about tracing the letters onto the magazine before cutting them out, but instead I decided to just free hand them. I like how you can tell I cut them out myself, it gives the poster a little bit of personality.
To make the print a little more sturdy, I Mod Podged the paper to some cardboard I had lying around. I'm linking the end result, I'm also liking that I spent no money to make this.

I am just laughing because JUST now I was using an exact-o knife to cut out a stencil of that very same saying to put on a plaque. wierd.
Yours looks very cute and colorful.
Thanks for the inspiration!
i wanted to follow through blogger, but i cant find the icon to! =[
love your blog!
This is super cute!!! I love it! Last week when you offered to help fundraise I was really touched. I don't know if you have a facebook page...but if you do..or if you want to blog about it..I just made a page on facebook asking people to donate $1 towards our adoption. Every one can spare $1 right? If you could join the group here: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/group.php?gid=131207450250308 and ask all your friends to join it would mean alot! If not, it's fine and totally understandable. Thanks so much!
