Easy Holiday Decor

I love using my digital scrapbooking supplies and my mad photoshop skillz to create fun and cheap decor for the holidays. I thought I'd share a couple of my most recent creations. A while ago I saw a pack of three white plastic square frames in the $1 section of Target - actually they were $2.50, but still - cheap. They are 3.75" x 3.75", which is an odd size, but that doesn't matter when you've got photoshop! I just opened a new document and set that as my size. The first thing I made were these I *heart* U squares for Valentines Day:

Here's how they looked in the frames:



So today I replaced them with something for Easter. I started out with this little bunny, from the April Morning kit by Miss Mint:



HOWEVER, even if I didn't have a bunny shape already in my digi scrapping stash, I could pretty easily find something similar by downloading a free dingbat font. Just out of curiosity I went searching and found this font that would also work. Again - EASY and FREE.

Then I just added a white(ish) background paper, and clipped some springy colored gingham papers to the bunny to create these:

I love how they look all framed up on my bookcase! And the best part of it is it took about 10 minutes to create and cost me almost nothing!





Happy Easter everyone!
