But with easy-to-navigate online photo editing programs like PicMonkey, creating this creative birth day announcement was super easy. I simply uploaded a blank white background (a blank MS paint document that I had saved to my computer) and began to strategically place my text where I wanted it. Playing with size, font and color and referring to this pin (what a shame there's a misspelling!) I was able to create something that I loved and cannot wait to hang in the nursery.
Not too shabby for my first attempt, no? It needed to half-rhyme. Needed to.
Amateur? Yes. Took forever? Yes. Perhaps I shall leave the printable-creating to the professionals. ie: Pinterest and Etsy.
Welcome to Week 15 of Hey, That's Pin-tastic, the weekly link up where you pick one pin that you've recently pinned, create, bake, make or decorate it and return here to share the pin wins (and fails) that you've recently tested and tried!
Be sure to grab the Hey, That's Pin-tastic button from the side of ILYMTC and add it to your post this way your readers will be able to check out all of the other pin-tastic pins! As always, each post that includes the button or a link back to ILYMTC will be pinned to the "official" Hey, That's Pin-tastic pin board (with over 3,100 followers). So? Stop pinning and start doing! Happy Monday!

Cute! I've done something similar with picmonkey before. Looks great! :)
ReplyDeleteLoved yours! And yes, what a shame there's a typo in the Pinterest version. I've fooled around with one for Rhys but didn't quite know how to capture the 3-weeks-early-almost-had-him-at-work-or-in-the-car in just a few short phrases. Maybe you can help me with mine?!
