Letter/Name Signage!

For Christmas gifts, (and super cheap ones too...) I made last name signs! I was going to be dilligent and photograph all the letters myself... alas, I only did the f. The rest I found here!  Letter goldmine . I saved the letters off into individual folders for each family name...making sure I liked the colors, styles and arrangement! I used photoshop to crop the perfect 4 by 6" size. I uploaded them to Walgreen's photo online. (and they were having a 1/2 price print sale, so they were 10 cents a pic.) Then, an hour or so later, I picked them up. For this one, I had a 30" frame on hand.  I had 10 letters to fit...you'd think a 3" letter would do the trick...but L's are HUGE!  So, it's 4" and I cut down a few others (like the I's) to make it work.  Awesome sister-in-law gift.  I made my entire name. And did a bunch more! For the others, I went to the  dollar store and bought foam core posterboard...
