Creative Inspiration

I have been on the hunt for some fun wall decor for the upstairs bathroom.  This is mainly Ayson's bathroom, but is also a guest bathroom, so I wanted it to be fun, but not scream toddler.  So, when I ran across this wall art at Land of Nod, I knew I had found just what I was looking for.  

How fun are these?!  However, my excitement quickly turned into disappointment as soon as I saw the price...$89 a piece!  You've got to be kidding me!  I love Land of Nod, but their stuff is crazy expensive.  Then it hit me...I could make them!!!  Not only would it be WAY cheaper, but I could make it the exact colors to match the orange/gray theme we have going on in there.  

So, I put Ays down for the night, popped some popcorn, opened Photoshop, and got to work.  Once I was done editing, I ordered my prints from Shutterfly, then picked up a couple of frames from Hobby Lobby.  And for $22 a piece, this is the finished product.  I couldn't be more happy with how they turned out!  Can't wait to hang them up :)

$89...PUH-LEASE!  A big thanks to Land of Nod for being so ridiculously expensive that it forced me to be creative ;)
