Met Monday Art, Blogaversary, and a Giveaway!

This post is all about art—art that even I can do and art for my blogaversary giveaway! First, let me show you a quick project I recently did for Sunshine’s birthday. We are slowly but surely turning the bachelor pad into a newlywed nest. I started out with a photo of her dear sweet Cooper.

The Coop is prone to bad hair days and looking pensive! :) I love the Photobucket options for editing. This one is called popart under effects. Cooper goes Warhol with just a few clicks!

I uploaded this picture to Walgreen’s. I could pick out the size I wanted . Just like magic the print was ready within the hour and cost under $3.

On a trip to Hobby Lobby I had a mat cut to fit a half price frame. There are often pre-cut mats, but I wanted a particular color to match the bedding and the print. Still a deal at $6. The whole project was less than $30 and Sunshine and the groom loved it! Now on to some REAL art!
