Kids Wall Art

We're doing some room reshuffling around here and ended up with a little playroom for the kids. Here's what I did for some super quick wall art: I painted large canvases with the extra seaside blue wall paint from my son's beach-themed bedroom next door. Then I made high-quality 8x10 glossy prints of some close-up shots of the kids. These prints were simply spray-glued to the canvas centers and the art was displayed in a row.

Love this. How did you do the white borders around the photos? Jen

Jenni - I centered my photos on the page before printing ... so the white border is just the paper. In Photoshop, select "Print With Preview" and size and position your image.
