Master Bedroom Collage & Monogram

For those of you who liked My Master Bedroom Re-Do, here are the 2 tutorials I put together for the new picture arrangement above my bed.

(Big frame is 24x24 & other frames are 12x12)

Couple Collage
(Inspired by my SIL, Megan)

I have hardly any pictures hanging on the wall of me and my husband together- all our frames are occupied with pictures of the kiddos (they are much cuter than we are!) but this project displays the awesome places we have been, the fun stuff we have done, and the great memories we have made together! Here is what I did:

I bought this frame at a thrift shop for a couple bucks:

 I took it apart, painted it black, then sanded the edges:

Then I gathered pictures- lots and lots of pictures (72 to be exact!)

I uploaded them to Picnik.com and had fun making them all black & white then making a collage.

Picnik has premade templates for collages- I used 3 different templates that hold 8 photos each.

I made 9 total collages and sized them to be 8.25 inches square, which happened to fit my square frame PERFECTLY! No cutting or overlapping needed!.

Then I just printed them out on my computer! Here are the finished collages:

Next I laid (or is it layed?) the collages out and taped them together on the backsides like so:

Lastly, I put them in my frame and showed my husband, of course. He was proud of me!

Framed Vinyl Initial
If you like an easy "no-brainer", this is for you!

(K, I am just now proof-reading that tutorial and I am so embarrassed about those spelling errors! Not embarrassed enough to fix it, but embarrassed enough to admit I do know how to spell "perimeter", and "ack" was supposed to be "back". Sorry ladies!)
