day 105: inspiration always comes from books!

happiness is in a book :)
day 105 and today we are back to loving books ... for those who don't ... i'm sorry, for those that do or have kids that inhale them, you will love these sentiments!  i couldn't decide which one i wanted to put up on ben's wall so while i was picking up a frame for a creation i intend to make next week, i decided the same frame format would be perfect for today!

the frame holds eight 6" x 4" photos ... for this creation it is holding the following seven sentiments:

i was the kid that got into trouble reading past my bedtime

KEEP CALM and READ A BOOK

you are MY sunshine

reading is cool

his books are some of his very best friends

my favourite thing is to go where i've never been

i can't clean my room because i get distracted by the cool stuff i find

and a giraffe holding a pile of books pinned from we heart it. below are some photos up close of the finished product!




outcome:  i am really happy with this, some of the sentiments i wanted to use are from etsy shops, so those i will buy in canvas!  these ones i couldn't find owners for so figured they would be ok to use or typeset for my own needs ... the boy is VERY happy, well as happy as a boy who currently has a nose in a book and actually didn't notice the new artwork adorning his walls ... guess it was me that was VERY happy ... hehe :)

right, time to head back to the broken peep ... it's like caring for a baby again!  have a great day everyone :)

What a great idea Kirsty! My best friend and I are always on the lookout for great gift ideas for boys, and this would be perfect for her son!
