<h2>DIY Wall Art</h2>
<p>I found myself armed with an old canvas, lots of scrapbook paper and some mod podge so I decided to make some wall art for my daughter&#8217;s room. I wanted to do something whimsical and fun but my 5 year old can draw better than I can, so I had to find something online to help me. I discovered these templates at Martha Stewart&#8217;s website. There was one for <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://images.marthastewart.com/images/content/web/pdfs/2009Q2/tv_owlflora_template.pdf">an owl</a> and one for <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://images.marthastewart.com/images/content/web/pdfs/2009Q2/tv_elephantsplash_template.pdf">an elephant</a>.</p>
<p>We all know Amy loves owls, and you don&#8217;t know this, but I will tell you now that I love elephants. So it seemed the perfect project to do and share here today.</p>
<p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v373/emlovesdrew/november/DSC_8252.jpg" alt="" width="322" height="480" /></p>
<p>This could not be easier to do. The craft at Martha Stewart called for using art board. I had canvases so I used those instead. You can get canvases at goodwill usually because people paint on them, hate the painting and then give it away. It doesn&#8217;t matter if there is something ugly painted on the canvas. You are covering it all up and making it new again.</p>
<ol>
<li>I started by putting scrapbook paper as my background. Had these been blank canvases, I wouldn&#8217;t have had to do that and they&#8217;d look a little less busy, but that&#8217;s okay.</li>
<li>Then I used the templates that I linked to above to cut out my owl and elephant parts. If you are smart, which I am not, your animals won&#8217;t be backwards when you do this. Mine were, but that&#8217;s okay. My elephant is facing the wrong way. You probably never would&#8217;ve known if I hadn&#8217;t told you.</li>
<li>When you have all your parts, start laying them out how you want them, then put mod podge on the back of each piece, then mod podge over the top of it so it&#8217;s secured to your canvas forever.</li>
<li>Now you just have to do a couple coats of mod podge over the whole thing and let it dry.</li>
</ol>
<p>In less than an hour, you&#8217;ll have cute art to hang in your child&#8217;s room!</p>

If you&#8217;re like me, you take lots and lots of photos!</h4>
<p>Today on I <span style="color: #000000;">Heart</span> Faces, my partner Angie (mother of four) wrote a great article about <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.iheartfaces.com/2010/08/ideas-for-back-to-school-photos/" target="_blank">inspiring ideas for back to school photos</a>. I thought I would follow up with creative ideas on what to do with your photos.</p>
<h3>Make a personalized frame to remember details.</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.livinglocurto.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Backtoschool_frame.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4729" title="Backtoschool_frame" src="http://www.livinglocurto.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Backtoschool_frame.jpg" alt="Backtoschool_frame" width="360" height="552" /></a></p>
<h4><span style="font-weight: normal;">I found some cheap wooden frames at Ikea and free downloadable <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://randominspirationsbymonica.blogspot.com/2009/08/august-mega-collab-back-2-school.html" target="_blank">back to school paper</a>. Along with my free <a href="http://www.livinglocurto.com/index.php/2009/08/star-wars-free-printable-tags-stickers/" target="_blank">Star Wars Stickers</a>, Mod Podge and paint, this turned into a really great keepsake for the year!</span></h4>
<p>I will also add this tag from Trixie Scraps&#8217;s <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://trixiescraps.blogspot.com/2009/08/august-blog-train-back-2-school.html" target="_blank">back to school kit </a>to the back of the frame.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livinglocurto.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/frameList.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4727" title="frameList" src="http://www.livinglocurto.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/frameList.jpg" alt="frameList" width="230" height="314" /></a></p>
<h4>Here&#8217;s what you need:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Wood Frame</li>
<li>Paper</li>
<li>Mod Podge</li>
<li>Foam Brush</li>
<li>Exacto Knife</li>
<li>Paint</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4728" title="Frame_Supplies" src="http://www.livinglocurto.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Frame_Supplies.jpg" alt="Frame_Supplies" width="400" height="325" /></p>
<p>Paint the Mod Podge on the frame. Then lay the frame on the paper. Make sure to smooth the wrinkles out of the paper. Trim with the knife and add stickers, buttons or whatever your kids are into. Then put a little paint on the brush and tab around the edges to cover the remaining wood.</p>
<p>This took about 10 minutes to make and is a great project to do with your kids!</p>

<p>You could stay on this blog train for 3 days with all the submissions they had! WOW! One of my favorites was <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://randominspirationsbymonica.blogspot.com/2009/08/august-mega-collab-back-2-school.html" target="_blank">Random Inspirations by Monica</a>. I used her green &#8220;back to school&#8221; paper for my son&#8217;s frame.</p>
<h3>A school bus tissue frame is another cute idea.</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.livinglocurto.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/tissue_paper_bus_frame.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4732" title="tissue_paper_bus_frame" src="http://www.livinglocurto.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/tissue_paper_bus_frame.jpg" alt="tissue_paper_bus_frame" width="200" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>I found this idea on <span style="line-height: normal;"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.freekidscrafts.com/tissue_paper_school_bus_frame-e460.html" target="_blank">freekidscrafts.com</a></span></p>
<h4><span style="line-height: normal;">Here&#8217;s what you need:</span></h4>
<ul>
<li>Printable <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.freekidscrafts.com/images/projects/bus_printable.jpg" target="_blank">school bus template</a></li>
<li><span style="line-height: normal;">Tissue Paper in yellow and white</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: normal;">Glue</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: normal;">Black Marker or Black Paint</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: normal;">Cardstock or heavy paper</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: normal;">Photos </span></li>
</ul>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Georgia;">Print the template on heavy paper. Cut tissue paper into 2&#8243;squares. Crumple each piece into a tight ball. Dip into white glue and place onto pattern. Continue crumpling and gluing down pieces until the entire bus is filled. Paint or use markers to make the tires black.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Georgia;">Tape photos to the back of the school bus showing happy faces looking out of the windows.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Georgia;">
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><br />
