For those of you who do not know (but if you claim to know me at all, you SHOULD know this), I am a magazine FREAK. I love looking at mags, always have. I love to go to Border's (not Barnes/Noble), grab a big fat stack, and flip through them all while drinking hot chocolate all by myself. It's heaven. Anyway, I have seen some really cool ways to display silhouettes in some of my favorite decorating mags, like domino and cottage living. Here's one example from the best mama mag ever, Cookie (below). I would love the big wall in my kitchen to look a little like this (ok not sooo many), and the funny thing is, my paint color is this color's twin, and I have those same white bowls and a pitcher just like the white hobnail vase. I love stealing ideas.
Anyway, I have been wanting to get some silhouettes but because I am cheap, I had to try to do it myself. I was messing around on photoshop with pics of a client, and I came up with this . . .
hmmm. It's my first attempt at making one, so hopefully I will get better. BUT the possibilities of this new little trick is ENDLESS!! Yay for new tricks.
Jessica, this girl, Stephanie (that is her family and her wall) will make you, your own silhouettes, all you have to do is e-mail her. Her sisters is friends with one my my friends. Her blog,which I think you would really like, is www.nieniedialogues.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletei love the idea! that looks very cute. so, i know the timing is a little less than ideal, but i still hope that something will work out so that you can be here for my baby shower. i really want you to be there. happy sunday!
ReplyDeleteso beautiful! You did a great job! You are the mag queen! Those subscriptions you got me when kolby was born were oh so fun! Glad you're back btw hawaii looked like heaven and its always great to see pics of the rands:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over to the party on Saturday - it was fun seeing you guys and hope we can hang out more. Take care this week. How is Max feeling?
ReplyDeletei am over the freakin moon that you are going to be there for the shower. seriously. i cannot wait. i went to the doctor this am and the baby is still breech. i will go in on wed. to try to move it manually. if not, then a c-section on the 1st. oh well, celebrities schedule c-sections. i just have that kind of style i guess!
ReplyDeleteJess,
ReplyDeleteI love all your pictures! You definitely have a talent for taking them. It probably helps that your son is just adorable! I love being able to see what everyone is up to, and seeing their cute kids. Have a great day!
LOVE the silhouettes! You are my idol, I absolutley love your photos. Sorry again about the random facebook messages I sent...you'll see them if you haven't. I think I'll just stick to blogging!
ReplyDeletei loveit, i agree i'd love to have that set up on the wall...it's great it's like family photos but just a different twist. great Idea if you get into it and need a family to start with here we are! :)
