Crafty Mama Monday | Fancy Photo Collage

I adore collages - my husband can attest to this. (He made fun of me just yesterday lol) Over the past year I have been consolidating all of the photos that were scattered about the house into several nice collages. It really has made the house look a lot tidier. I love vintage frames...but when you have 123 of them - things can look kinda messy. (Just kidding...it was probably more like 85 lol)  A couple of weekends ago my mother-in-law offered me a giant old painting in a fanciful frame that she had in their garage. Naturally, I took it off her hands with a collage in mind haha.  One of my favorite services on the Walgreens app is the quick Instagram prints. Adorable 4x4 prints available to me in 1 hour? Yes please! -----> Read more about the app here <---- I believe they are around 40 cents per picture? I usually find pretty great coupons on RetailMeNot.com - I absolutely love that site. I suggest that you never again make an online purchase before you browse through their coupons. S-a-v-i-n-g-s! ;)
This project was pretty darn simple folks. I only had to trim up the photos on the bottom row and on the left side to make everything fit. You can't even really tell...

DIY Fancy Photo Collage

- Vintage giant framed painting (Used to be trees lol) - A gaggle of 4x4 Instagram prints - Mod Podge - Paintbrush  - Ruler - Scissors - Pen I thought this project turned out really pretty. The collage is hanging in the hallway that connects our bedroom to the bathroom. We just moved the kids into our old room this past weekend. The house is looking better and better! I will post some photos when everything is in it's place.  How was your Monday? :) 

Saturday Pinterest Project

I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to do a post yesterday. My back tooth is trying to abscess again! (Ugh curse this mouth of mine) Anybody know of a good dentist in the Auburn/Opelika area? I've been in a great deal of pain over the past 24 hours. I'm sure it doesn't help that I got a monroe piercing last week either. 0_- Ouch. So - my mouth is very angry at me right now. No blogging when you are in bed with an ice pack on your face lol. I did get to go to Urgent Care yesterday and I got some special mouthwash and antibiotics. I just hope they kick in soon! Moving on to the Pinterest project I'm working on today! I was playing on Pinterest last night (more like 1:30 am) when I found this adorable wedding idea. I'm obviously already married but I thought the idea was really cute and that it would work as normal bathroom decor. :)

"Wedding restroom signs" credit - the life of jam

Well...I decided to take this idea turn it into a collage (to save money on frames) and throw in a snazzy ampersand! We purchased a frame at Wal-mart for around $12. We are currently renovating our bathroom. Eventually the walls are going to be a nice powder blue shade. Not lilac vomit lol...

Matt loved how this project turned out, what do you think? :) This whole project (print and frame) ended up costing me around $15 or so...not bad!

Are you working on any craft projects this weekend?

One last thing! (Just for giggles) I have entered Miss Miri Mouse in a "Beautiful Baby Contest." It would be so amazing it you could click the link below and vote for her photo!
