Free Printable Art (update: now 2 versions!)

Last post, I was talking about layered mantelscapes and mentioned some of the things I hoped to include on our new mantel when we move. One thing I want to include is a framed graphic of one of my favorite Bible verses, Psalm 19:14. So today I created one in Photoshop to go with the projected color scheme in the space, and I’ve made it free for you to access for yourself!

As far as frames go, I’m not sure what to do. I was originally thinking an aged gold frame, but after playing in Photoshop I’m not sure it works with the colors in the print.

The direction we are going for the entire house is modern with rustic natural elements, so now I’m thinking something ultra textural, like rope or rough wood…or these cool wood rounds. Here are some Photoshop mock-ups. The images of the frames are not good quality since I just copy and pasted from Google images, but it gives the general idea.

Hope you like it!

Making simple things pretty

So, this past month I decided I want to try out the make ahead of time freezer meal thing. And I learned a few things, such as don’t freeze cooked pasta and then reheat it–unless you LIKE mushy pasta. (I’m new at this clearly). SO I thought it would be a good idea to keep a log of which recipes were good and which were bad and make kind of a planner type thing to plan out the main portion of our meals a month at a time. If you do it right it can also save a lot of money! We have tons of binders laying around so I could have just used a blank one…but who wants to look at a boring binder?! I decided to get my creative juices flowing and see it I could design a good looking cover! After gathering some pretty awesome patterns from Schumacher’s website, I headed over to Photoshop to see if I could put them together/alter them into a fun binder cover! Here is what I came up with:

Hopefully this will help keep me motivated to continue this! Do you have any freezer meals suggestions for me?! I would love to hear them!
