Cute Way To Display Vacation Photos

Before Dave's birthday party I wanted to update some of our frames and I realized we had no pictures up from our recent vacations. Since we've been lucky to travel quite a few places in the past couple years, I quickly ran out of frames to put them in, so I came up with a new idea!

I had seen this frame at Pier1 a while back and it was perfect for my idea!

So I picked it up and then I edited a few of the best vacation photos in Picnik to make them look like Polaroids. Then I added text to the bottom of the Polaroid saying when and where the photo was taken.

I loooove the way it turned out!
Here are a few close ups for you stalkers :)

I hung this in our kitchen above the trashcan, so pretty much everyone saw it and I got tons of compliments and how'd you do that?'s ! The possibilities are really endless with this little project, how cute would ultrasound pics look?! or monthly baby pics! So much fun and easy to swap them out whenever you want! If you have any questions, let me know!

Love this...

Read the story about their welcome back dinner party here, it's so sweet!

Lindy, I fully expect this type of party when we move back to Tulsa in 3 years and get to be neighbors again! ;)

Our Christmas Card!

I'm back and WAY late on posting a LOT of things but we were out of town for the majoirty of the holidays  so forgive me for the lateness...

After many failed attempts at a Christmas Card picture, it was too late to try again so I went with a couple pictures from this summer. The card isn't my favorite. I like last years much better. But hey they were free so I took advantage of it.

I was a little disappointed on how dark the photos came out, and the fact that shutterfly doesn't let you zoom in on your pictures. (It does technically let you zoom but it's only about a 15% increase and that's all you can get).

Don't even get me started on the trouble I had making a photobook for my parents. Everything turned out great except the fact that the photo on THE COVER came out blurry. And I was not notified in any way. It was a large enough file so there was no little exclamation point to alert me and the zoom factor looked fine on the screen. Grrrr... I've had so much trouble finding a photo book company that I like. Does anyone have a favorite that I might not know about?

I've tried Shutterfly - blurry photo and layouts you must stick to and cannot edit - fail
Picaboo - I liked this one but the Mac version doesn't allow a photo cover - boo
MyPublisher - my fave so far but it has limited backgrounds, I'm talking 10 options unless you want a solid color and the version for Mac is extremely limited - boo
Anyone know of any others that rock?

Dave edited some pics for me and framed them for Christmas and in hindsight I would have loved to use this pic for our card:

 Hope you all had a great New Year! We had a blast in Crested Butte, I can't wait to show you!
