Quick 4x6 framed art + GIVEAWAY!!

Today is my last day here on the SEI blog. This has been truly an amazing experience, I have loved every second of it! Thank you all so very much for having me! ..and putting up with all of my rambling! hee heee! I leave you with one last home decor project. A 'hybrid' project of sorts.. if you dabble in digital scrapbooking as well, or know your way around a computer.. this will be right up your ally! Heck, thinking about it now, this could also easily be done using 100% traditional scrapbooking supplies!


Looooove that bird from the Playday Chiplets! So cute! The frame that I used here is 4x6. In Photoshop, I created a 4x6 canvas, and using the text tool, added the large 'H' ..then, using the shape tool, I added the speech bubble and finished off with the "h is for harley" ..it took a few tries to get the spacing right, just test printed on plain paper, and then when I was ready to final print, I used photo paper. Once printed, I added the bird chipboard accent and that was it!! Super fast and super easy.. and super budget friendly! Such a great way to customize something as a gift as well. I didn't make this one in particular as a gift.. this one went straight to my son's room.. but I could definitely see myself making a variation of this as a gift down the road sometime!

Thank you all again for having me! It has been a blast! It was truly an honour to be asked to guest blog for a week, seriously.. still giddy over it!! THANK YOU!!

Jen :)

Sorry. Can't pick just one. It's a toss up between the Home Sweet Home and the altered 4x6 frame. I'm a sucker for repurposed home decor...and I've been trying to learn how to do the hybrid thing, too.

Really fun week!

My favorite post was the one with the three cards, "Hi". Loved those cards especially the butterfly one. I am a card maker so this post interested me.
Love SEI products! Last summer I used many of the irredescent mimosa and related papers. Those colorful papers and embellishments made such vibrant fun cards. So I would love to win this giveaway.

Sara Gingue said...

Monday's post was really awesome because I love to decorate around the house, and the butterfly post was really cool too. I have a daughter so I just may use some of those ideas for her room! :)

Donna said...

My favorite post was Wednesday the 14th. I love the title about what inspires her. It is my favorite, not only because I love what she did with the butterflies, but also because that was the subject of my daughter's recent college application essay. She is inspired by the wind and I was blown away (no pun intended) by what she wrote. She is going to major in English and hopes to become an Editor but I think she is very talented and should be a writer....a proud mom talking here. Thanks for sharing Jen with us. I love her website.
