"Love is Spoken Here" Free Print!

Might sound silly since I've only been at it for 8 days, but I've had SO much fun with having an etsy shop to call my own!  I've already had 4 orders and while for some, they think that's nothing, for me it give me a BIG smile every time I see one!  I'm really trying to make them REALLY affordable.  My main thing is just having fun making pieces of art!  : )

Anyway, I decided that once a month I will have a "free print" available here on the blog.  This free print is for a 5 by 7 and all you have to do it put it in a cute frame and pay something like 30 cents at Walmart!  It would look so cute in an entry way, hallway, livingroom, or even kitchen!

To receive the free print just:

(1) follow the blog if you don't already;

(2) leave a comment telling me what your favorite thing is in the etsy shop (sorry that's kind of a pain and I won't require it every time, but I'm still trying to establish what people like so I can keep doing more similar things); AND

(3) leave me an email address in the comment so I can email it to you and make sure to let me know which color you like best!  I will then send you that print in an email within 24 hours!  ALL FOR FREE!  WHOOPIE! ; )


Option #1: BLUE


Option #2: RED


Option #3: GREEN


 Hope you guys like it! : )

PS I am 20 weeks pregnant with Gloria today!  I had planned on doing the 20 week t-shirt project today but Evan got home REALLY late last night and by the time I remembered that we needed to do the pictures, I was in my PJs.  And you know how comfy PJs are.  Maybe we'll get a chance to do it tonight!

Ummm ... I have an Etsy Shop!

Evan and I had decided not to get each other birthday or Christmas gifts this year.  It just wasn't in the budget.  But on my birthday, I came home to a bouquet of flowers and an apple martini mix (wasn't pregnant at that time obviously), so since he cheated a little bit, I decided to cheat a little bit.

I wanted to do something romantic and something that I knew he'd love.  I am SO happy with how it came out:




The beautiful thing about this project is you can change it around without any problems!  You can have the picture on the left with lyrics on the right and the two don't need to overlap.  You could also do this for your children and have letters that you wrote them during pregnancy overlapping.  Another thought I had: why not do this with love letters you've written to each other over the years?  The possibilities are ENDLESS!

When I first thought of doing this project, I went to etsy, one of my all-time favorite websites.  I found quite a few similar projects but there were all MINIMUM of $30 for just the print.  Knowing that we had said "no gifts" I realized this was out of the question. 

Messing around with digital art like this has become a passion of mine lately and I decided to do something about it, for AFFORDABLE prices! 

Therefore, I'd like to introduce to you, my little and VERY newbie (like as of late last night) etsy shop, found HERE!   I plan on adding other things as time comes, but wanted to let people know because I'm pretty excited about it! 

Happy Birthday to my husband and thank you for being the most incredible hubby and Daddy around!

FREE Printable Art and Subway Art!

I first joined pinterst to put together a complication of free subway art printables that I found on the internet.  It grew in to a slight obsession.  I have a 5 * 7 white frame in our kitchen that often gets changed throughout seasons.  Right now?


Free Valentine's "so in love" printable art found here.

I  have this beauty in there for Valentine's.  And this got me thinking ... I scoured the internet for probably 2 hours to find my favorites.  Why not share the love?

Below each picture is a link to where you can print these off.  I print them off of Shutterfly if I have a coupon, or at Walmart.  The actual print is COMPLETELY FREE!  YAY! 

I like these and am going to print them out for our "alphabet and number" themed playroom!  Something like this is $20 on Etsy but at Walmart, $3.00!


Free nursery or playroom printable art "Count your Many Blessings" found here.

Free nursery or playroom "I love you" alphabet print found here.

How about some Holidays?

This spooky one goes great for a Halloween party and is found here.

I have this one in a 16 * 20 frame in our hallway and it looks SO gorgeous:

Nursery "rain" printable art found here.

Wondering how people make some of these or want to put your own quote?  Here are tips on doing that!  I think I might just have to take a stab at it for Gloria's room!
