Grayson's nursery needed some art, with 10 foot ceilings sometimes it needs a pop or two of color. I knew I wanted to do something with his birth statistics, like this from The Bellingham Baby Company
Gorgeous, right?! But $26 dollars for an unframed piece of paper just kind of goes against my cheap-skate ways. I started to wonder, could I do that myself on the cheap?
Enter Microsoft Publisher.
I started by selecting a blank 8 x 10 document and adding text boxes with my little bean's info. I turned some text, changed fonts, played with font size and color until I got the look I wanted. I clicked print, and this is what we got.
All it needs is a mat and a frame, and I've got some JoAnn's coupons for those babies! It really took me about 10 minutes to figure out, and then when I was done I made one for a friend as well.
It really was super easy, to change all of the info and colors took less than 3 minutes. Now, if a technology challenged, sleep deprived, un-showered Mommy like me can do it- you can too!
The best part, the cost = totally free! So I can take my $26 bucks I would have spent on this and buy something else...because that Bellingham Baby Company can get me into some SERIOUS trouble with the hubs and the bank account! ;)
