Today on my lunch break I wandered around Big Lots. Not looking for anything in particular, just browsing. And I saw this piece of art with a really pretty "L" monogrammed on it, and another separate plaque with a cute lil definition of love. for only $8. If you don't know, L is the first initial of my last name, Lueken. Mmmhmmm, that is it...nice huh? I acquired it in 2003 :) So I decided it had to come home with me...I had a plan for the little guy.
Before
After a little deconstruction...
I took out the little "love" saying.
Then after a little visit with my trusty friend "Picnik" I played around a bit and came up with this.By trial and error, and a few prints later, 4x6 index card seamed to work great!
I performed some minor surgery, and here we go! All done! It looks great, huh?
I am proud of this easy schmeasy and super cheap project, with a gorgeous look!
Here it is in its home...The enrty way.
I hope you enjoyed that...and remember to try to find potential in everything!

That's a great project! I love how you personalized it even more by putting your last name in.
What a nice project!
Thanks for joining in our FFB -- just remember to link it to YOUR post so other's might stop by as well.
Thanks,

This looks great! How funny that I have the same exact picture! I also got a matching one @ Big Lots that is an "F" and talks about Family. Then I went to Kirklands-my FAV store and found a big monogram picture with similar style and a large "P" for my last name. I put all three over my couch and it looks great. I love how you changed yours up-very cool!
You're brilliant...that is so cool to have something personalized like that in your home.
This looks great..
Thanks for joining Get your Craft on Thurs. Please join me next week for another great party.
