Photo Friday: create a fall photo banner

One of the Big Picture Boot Camp prompts by the practical yet inspiring Tracey Clark was to actually (gasp!) print and display our photos.  I rarely do that anymore and it IS a shame not to enjoy them more, don’t you think?

I wasn’t going to do this one because there are 12 prompts in 12 days and who can keep up? But then my friend Kelly posted about it and hers looked so great and so I gave in.   Simply select a phrase, some pictures, and put one letter of your phrase on each 4×4 (or whatever size you fancy) page.  I liked how Kelly used a shape to accentuate her letters so I used a leaf shape at 60% opacity.  I printed 4×6 pictures onto 4×6 photo paper and cropped them down to be square.  I used my corner rounder punch and also punched holes for my string.

And ta da! I hung it on hemp cord (found in the jewelry design section of the craft store) in our living room above the TV.  Now I’m addicted… what else can I print and make?

Happy to add this post to Jane’s Post of the Month Club.

    That’s great and you can change it every season, every holiday. You’ll never run out of things to print that way.
