It’s done! Wahoo!
This is what I’ve been working on all week.
So yes, the rest of my house is a little messy & unorganized, but that’s OK. 🙂
{My inspiration was found here. Thanks, Kristyn!}
I bought all of my frames from Hobby Lobby for half off.
{Don’t you just love Hobby Lobby’s half off sales??}
It seems like every time I go in there what I need is half off! Love Hobby Lobby! 🙂
First I laid out all my frames on my kitchen table,
along with the words I wanted on my family wall later
so I could get an idea of where everything would fit.
I played with the arrangement & came up with something I liked.
I took a picture & printed it out…so I wouldn’t forget how I had it arranged. 🙂
Then I started hanging up my pictures. 🙂 My goal was to have as few extra nail holes as possible.
I was doing so good until I realized my pictures where WAY to low. Oops!
So I had to move everything up…much better…but yep, I do have a few extra holes in my wall! Grrrr!
Most of them were hidden behind pictures…I only had to touch a few spots. Yeah! 🙂
Once I started hanging the pictures I did make a few changes in my arrangement,
but it did help to have a general idea of where I wanted the pictures to go.
After I got all the pictures hung…I started cutting the vinyl. 🙂
Fonts List:
Family is… {Not His Angel}
forever {My Own Topher}
laughter {Hiccups}
joy {Curlz MT}
love {Oh Photo Shoot}
smiles {Mr. & Mrs. Popsicle}
wonderful {AR Julian}
strength {My Own Topher}
kindness {Bosshole}
lots of fun {Every Time I Miss You}
Then all I had to do was apply the vinyl lettering.
I love it! Of course, my hubby didn’t even notice
until about 30 minutes AFTER he got home.
{Hmmmm….not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing! ;)}
My 4 year old did say she loved it each time
I asked her as I was working on it! Love that girl! 🙂
{Hope you all are having a fabulous Friday!}

What a beautiful job & family. All the best to you.

It looks great! We have wall art done with the craft robo but mine is all cardstock, not vinyl. I love the idea of combining with photos.
This is darling! What a great idea to take a picture of how you had them laid out so that you didn't forget! I need to do that! I would love it if you would link this up to my Ta-Da Tuesday link party starting tonight at midnight!!

This is just awesome! I've been wanting to attempt a gallery wall for some time now and have been collecting frames. Love how you added the words!
Wow – it turned out great. Love the combo of photos and vinyl. Those photos walls are a lot of work – but definitely make a big impact on a large wall space. Great job.
This looks awesome! I am dying for a gallery wall in my home. We would love for you to share this at our weekly link party this Saturday. We have an awesome jewelry giveaway going on right now, too! Come stop by!

Just found your blog and LOVE it! I want to make a family wall too! What do you use to cut your vinyl? Thanks!
Becky
Glad you found me, Becky. 🙂 I just used my Silhouette…you could use any vinyl cutter to do it though I'm sure. Thanks so much for your comment.
