DIY Family Sign Using PicMonkey

One home decor trend that I'm loving right now is the gallery wall.  Did you see mine?  When I started gathering up things to go with what I had already I knew I wanted a Family Established sign of some kind.  So I played around in PicMonkey and this is what I came up with!

Supplies:

Computer

Printer

Paper

Frame

Let's get started!

Step 1:  open PicMonkey and choose the make a collage square, it will take you to this screen.  Resize the collage to 500 x 700 so it will be the photo size 5 x 7.  You will have to unhighlight the lock graphic. Hit enter.

And it will adjust the collage to the 5 x 7.  Hit save and name it whatever you'd like....blank5x7 for example. Click on the X in the upper right hand corner to go back to the main screen.

Step 2:  click on the edit a photo square.  It will bring up your pictures, find your blank 5 x 7 and upload it, it will take you to the above screen.  

Step 3:  click on the "P" to go to Text. Choose your preferred font and add your last name.  Simply click on it to move it where you'd like.

Step 4:  add another text box with "est. year you were married" or became a family.  Again, move where you'd like.  

Step 5:  click on the Overlays icons, it's under the P, and choose the Floral section. Choose the one you like and add between your text boxes.

Step 6:  now click on the Textures icon, it's the very bottom one, and go to the Papyrus section.  Or choose what ever texture you'd like, it's basically a background.  Hit save! You're done! Print it out and frame it!

Note:  you can print this like a photo where ever you do your printing! Just make sure and do it as a 5 x 7 or smaller. 

I had the frame already...it was an antique gold and I simply painted it black to match the rest of my frames! So if you're like me and have extra frames around then this can be a zero cost project!
And here is my gallery wall....

Happy Thursday!!
