Proclamation

I am updating our proclamation that is hanging in our home. I made this one 3 years ago and told myself I would update it yearly with our current family memories. Didn't happen! Here is what I did 3 years ago (with a preemie Kendall, John's triathlon, Julia's musical, Kerst putting his own tie on, etc...) I created this in my photo editing program as one large print and mounted it on mat board. This one I created was done all in Sepia.

For the new mat, I created two different versions (difference being a sepia or black/white overlay to tone down the colors - I wanted a hint of color this time). I am printing them both. I LOVE Costco! They are printed in their store! I thought I would have to have it mailed to me since I am doing it as a 16x20!

I will be doing a spray adhesive to mount it onto some mat board and then will use my mat cutter to cut it out and then frame our "Proclamation on the Family". I will have to see which one works better with our wall colors (plus I have my eye on a frame that is on sale at Hobby Lobby)
