Look what I just gave a good home to!

French Provencial Pine Plaque

I have big plans for this one! I’ve been smitten with the family established signs from the first time I saw one. We purposely chose a reception venue that required little to no extra decoration, but a little sign that we can put up in our home later won’t hurt anything!

After painting the base with acrylic paint, I printed out and taped down a template. I made a mirror image so the ink side could be against the wood by typing what I wanted into a WordArt box and then selected “flip horizontal” under “rotate” on the formatting palette. Lightly brushing over the paper with the tiniest amount of water and then pressing down on a book set on top allowed just enough ink to transfer to where I knew exactly where to paint.

Do you plan on keeping any of your decorations?

@Miss Aardvark: We got this one at Joann Fabrics from the wood crafts section, but probably any craft or hobby store would have some you could choose from

My family has one of these (in the same pretty shape!), and I would love to get one for me & Mr., but I’m not changing my name…. I’ll have to rethink the wording…

I have always loved these! I also love the ones with the pictures of architectural things that resemble a letter and spell out the name. Have you seen those?

Oooh, I love this. Maybe I’ll just make one for my house instead of buying one. @Miss Doe, I found a great tutorial through Pinterest on how to make your own photo name thingy.
