Gallery Wall

I've been buying ugly art canvasses on clearance at HomeSense with a project in mind for a large empty wall in my family room. It's going to be a collection of quotes, photos and art that are meaningful to our family.

Here's a peek at one of the quotes I'm using:

(Originally I found a similar one to this on Pinterest which I loved, but the colors didn't quite work with my plan. I also discovered that it was slightly misquoted, so I made up my own in Publisher. Here's the talk it came from in entirety)

I'm hoping to finish off the other canvasses this weekend. I'll post up the rest when it's done.

SLC Temple

This is quite possibly my new favorite picture of the Salt Lake Temple. For an upcoming project I was looking for a great print of the Temple, and I had originally found another. Unfortunately when I tried to contact the photographer to ask about purchasing a digital copy of it that I use to print from I never heard a reply. Her loss. I found this one instead, which I love even more. Aren't those tulips so beautiful? It just makes the Temple look like a magical palace, and reminds me of the way it looked when my husband and I got married there in the spring almost 7 years ago. I'll tell you though none of our wedding pictures came out this good (sadly, being poor college students we cheaped out on a photographer and have regretted it ever since).

 

Salt Lake City Temple in the Spring, by Scott Jarvie found here. I'm not being paid to say this, but he's got a lot more really beautiful temple prints as well, and he allows free downloads for personal computer use. What a doll! I actually wanted a hard copy print to use in a project so I purchased a digital download from his site.
