Simple Wall-art tutorial

Last week, into this weekend, has been a little hectic around here. I was home from work most of the week last week because I had a sick toddler on my hands. After a 3rd day of a spike in temperature, I luckily got him in to see his Pediatrician and turns out he had a little sinus buggy going on and some fluid in his ears [poor little guy]. After a few days of medicine, we have a very hyper-playful Jayden back, tearing the house up, one toy at a time.

Josh did work more on the electrical for the recessed lighting in the shower, so that project is coming along smoothly. As for myself, I worked on some simple little digital projects in photoshop, to create some simple, new wall art for the office. Specifically, the new reading nook [stay tuned].

I had brackets on my mind for this little art project and so with some down-loadable bracket PS Brushes and a few 'words of wisdom', I created 'Imagine, Create and Inspire'.

I already had a frame that had 3 individual slots, measuring 4x6 inches. So basically all I did was create my prints in photoshop on a document measuring 4x6 and than printed them out on plain paper [something this simple can be printed on plain paper. It helps save your photo paper for future, bigger projects].

I placed one of the open slots on top of the paper with the print on it. I than took a pen and traced along the inside part.

Since all of the prints are centered on the page the same exact way, I gathered the 3 of them and used my small Fiskars cutter to cut along my traced line.

...Like so.

Last step is easy. Just tape the cut prints on the underside of the backing and viola!

A simple little way to dress up, and add a little character to a wall of photos.

What digital projects [or any wall art projects] have you been working on? Do you use Photoshop to create any kind of wall art? If not which program do you like to use most?
