I know...shocking.
However, deep down inside I am a very crafty person...I just usually think I don't have the supplies or time to do it....but here is something i've wanted to do for a while...it is part one of three that I hope to get done.
I took an old canvas picture that I have had for years and was in storage...found kids artwork (mostly from preschool/kindergarten years)
and I mod/podged them to the canvas. I cut some out so that they would fit better...I also made sure the kids' names all were visable so we could remember who's was who's....
and voille!
oh also, if you are covering up a dark canvas...which I initially was going to do..but found this one instead....you could paint the canvas first with Gesso (my uber crafty friend Melissa S. gave me this tip).

tip: I recommend that you COUNT the artwork and make SURE there is equal representation of all the kids (Cash only has one on here...but for big kids)...because you KNOW the first thing they do is count them to make sure one kid didn't get more pics. up than another ;)

I LOVE IT! So so cute! I'm totally going to copy!
What a great idea!!! I've got so many amazing pictures (Asher is a little artist) that I don't know what to do with.
I NEVER would have thought of this idea but I LOVE it! You are so clever!
