Family Word Art

I have a confession to make.  I just barely took down my nativity silhouette.  You see, I didn’t have anything to replace it with so I just left it until I could come up with something to put in it’s place.  After much thinking I decided to do my own twist on a subway/word art.  I did a word art of words that are commonly said in our house.  My girls are little so there are a lot of “uh-oh’s” and “lookit momma’s”.  I thought it would be fun to capture all the things that are said a lot right now, especially Maddy’s famous word, “ta-da!”  I bought the frame at Wal-mart for five dollars.  It had one of those wierd brown/metallic finishes.  Gag.  So I painted it with Krylons’ glossy black spray paint and it looked tons better.  After I painted it, I glued the glass into the frame with my favorite E-6000 glue.  I even used that glue to put a hanging bracket onto the back, it was soo much easier than nailing it on.  Haha, it’s like liquid nails.  Then I created the word art in Silhouette’s software.  Most of the fonts I used came from kevinandamanda.com.  I’m quite happy with the way it turned out. It’ll be interesting to see how much the words that come out of my little girls mouths change over the next few years.  Macey keeps telling me “it’s pwitty mommy,”  but I think she just likes it ’cause it has a cute little birdy in the bottom corner. 🙂
