Pinterest Inspiration

So maybe it's because I'm more into it or maybe just because I'm bored, but I wanted to write another post. My life isn't super interesting so I didn't really have anything to write about. Here's my attempt at something somewhat fun. I found all these craft ideas that I want to try from Pinterest. Unfortunately, I don't have much room to keep all of my fun little crafts at our house so I thought I would make a couple gifts. With the wedding coming up I wanted to get my sisters something extra for all the work they've put into helping me. I couldn't really think of anything. At first I thought I would do gift cards (to kind of help replenish some of the funds they've lost with this whole thing) and then I thought jewelry but remembered that I am not fashionable AT ALL and they always make fun of things I buy. Quinn secretly shares my interest in the crafts I found online so he suggested doing something more personal. Since my sisters don't follow my blog (or at least I don't think they do) I figured it was safe to post pictures.

This one is for my younger sister. I took the picture and I worked with photoshop to single out the yellow. I got an 8x10 picture printed and cut it into quarters. Quinn cut and sanded the wood and put the hooks on the back for me. It's just a more fun way to hang pictures instead of always having to use picture frames.

This one is for my older sister. I asked her to send me a few pictures from her wedding that she liked. I was hoping to use one with people, but since I had to cut it I found it easier to use something that wouldn't have it's eyes cut in half or something weird. I took the picture of her bouquet and again singled out one color. I know it doesn't seem creative to do the same thing twice, but they don't live together so I thought it would be ok. I told my mom that I used that picture over the other ones and she seemed to think it was a good idea because they never preserved her bouquet so at least now she'll have the picture displayed if she wants. The picture that I actually put on the wood squares had the quote she used for all of her wedding stuff (invitations, favors, programs, etc) which was "All I'm after is a life full of laughter as long as I'm laughing with you". I added in smaller print the date of their wedding 07.03.10. I think it turned out pretty cute for what it was. Hopefully they'll like them and find a place to display them.
