Hi guys! I am excited to be here on Michelle’s super cute blog taking over for the day. (Isn’t her blog layout so adorable!? It makes me smile just coming here!)
My name is Stephanie and I am a mom of 3 fantastic kids, a wife to my best friend, and creator of the blog somewhat simple. I am a California transplant (Huntington Beach, to be exact) currently residing in beautiful Arizona! (I can say “beautiful” now that it isn’t so stinkin’ hot outside anymore!)
My blog is where I share my latest creations- both at my craft table and in my kitchen. I host a monthly challenge for all my readers that is fun and interactive! I also seem to have a giveaway going on every week, and this week’s giveaway is an awesome one!
Today I put together a little project that takes no time at all! I like this idea (which was inspired by a similar project my SIL made) because I have hardly any pictures hanging on the wall of me and my husband together- all our frames our occupied with pictures of the kiddos (they are much cuter than we are!) but this project will display the awesome places we have been, the fun stuff we have done, and the great memories we have made together! Here is what I did:
I uploaded them to Picnik.com and had fun making them all black & white then making a collage.
Picnik has premade templates for collages- I used 3 different templates that hold 8 photos each.
I made 9 total collages and sized them to be 8.25 inches square, which happened to fit my square frame PERFECTLY! No cutting or overlapping needed!.
Next I laid (or is it layed?) the collages out and taped them together on the backsides like so:
This is going in my master bedroom, and for the big reveal, you will have to check my blog this weekend when I show off what I did for this week’s challenge. My master bedroom looks fantastic, and this framed picture is the perfect “something” I needed!
That was fun! Thanks for letting me visit here today! Come see what else I have up my creative sleeves, and join in the fun!

Remember how I said it was a blog swap?! Well that means now you can hop on over to Stephanie’s blog and hear from lil ol’ me! I may or may not have shared a fun fall fingerpainting project for your kiddos. 😉 Oh and she has a little tutorial for a Wacky Sack that looks super fun! We’ll be making those soon at our house!!

Nice to meet you last night at the SUP chapter meeting! Great TIPS!
Fun Post! Love the picture frame idea. I’m trying to “spice” up our Master bedroom as well. But sadly I don’t know if I could find 72 pictures of my husband and I. We are usually the ones taking the pictures 🙂
And Stephanie’s Wacky Sack is SOO fun, gotta try to make one.
I also loved your Fall tree painting. GREAT IDEAS today! Thanks 🙂
Great idea!! It came out cute. Happy SITS Saturday!
I’m enjoying your blog so much! I’m a new follower!
I love the photo collage. Is that what you would call it? I am craft and decorating challenged.
