Sooo, have you seen all the darling free printables out there in bloggy land? Yah, its crazy good!!!
It sure makes for cheap decorating. So, I just wanted to quickly share with you what I've done
with some of mine. Can I first apoligize for my camera - Sorry! Now that thats outta the way have a look.
This one above is actually one I paid for but it was cheap and too fantastic to pass up. This is where I bought it if you want one for your little self.
OHH OH and check out all their stuff because it's just darling and like I said cheap.

This one above you can grab here at less cake more frosting. By the way I love her blog and her hair!
Tis True! It takes alot of Moxie to pull off that hair and I think she does it sooo well!
Ok, and the one above is not for Valentines Day but it's just down right fantabulous so I must share.
It's from one of my favorite bloggers Cheri over at i am momma hear me roar. She has it in a couple of color options too! Thanks Cher! Can I call you that? Oh and if you wanna know how to make your own she just recently did a tutorial on that too - using Picnik.
Alright its pretty self explanitory but what I did was:
First I sent the printables to Costco - My fave because they offer Lustre finish in one hour. Don't think anyone else does that and lets face it I'm impatient. I did mine 8 X 10 size. Ok, then I purchased an
11 X 14 size canvas at Hobby Lobby (can find them anywhere however). I found some cute fabric at Walmart (that doesn't happen to often) and it was polkadots so I had to have it.
So you just lay your canvas on top of the fabric and leave plenty of space around the edges to wrap to the back. You can glue it back there or use a staple gun. Then I just covered the canvas with Mod Podge and I also put some on the back of the print. Now just center it and smooth it down. I then covered mine with more Mod Podge over the picture but you certainly don't have to. I liked it liked this but I'm kinda crazy about adding flowers to everything so I quickly made up some and hot glued the little darlins to the top corner of the canvas.
Now if you notice on one of them I used newspaper (i especially liked the crossword puzzle section) to cover the canvas edges. Just rip up strips and Mod Podge them randomly on the edges -wrapping them around the back and front a tad bit.
Now get to it and let me know if you do any of them. I would love to see them.
OH OH and LOOK what I did with Cheri's tutorial on making your own printable. It's not as great as hers but it's my first one so I think it's OK. I'm the new Young Womens President in my ward and this is the Young Womens Theme. I wanted to make it for the girls so they could do their own canvas.
