Even though taking our family photos was a torture session, I’ve been having lots of fun making things with the photos! Yesterday, I showed you the DIY antique style cabinet cards that can be made with photos, and today I have a gallery wrapped photo canvas that turned out even better than I hoped. Not only did it turn out amazing, it was so cheap to make. If you’ve ever priced a gallery wrapped photo canvas, you know they are {Read More}
