DIY: Magazine Monogram Art

I have always thought of myself as a fairly creative person, but when I see what some people come up with, it makes me think twice.

Two of those people are John and Sherry over at YoungHouseLove . They are CRAZY creative and if you dont take a look at their whole house renovation, you are seriously missing out!

Back to the point,( but really I could go on about their website for-ev-er). They inspiried this little project that has a happy home on our mantel.


I followed their lead and found "J" in a magazine, clipped it out, took it to Kinkos and asked them to enlarge it. 45 minutes and $2.46 later, I leave empty handed and a little disappointed.
On the way back to work, I decided I was going to have my magazine monogram whether or not the very inexperienced employees of Kinkos were gonna help.

So after spending 1/2 of my lunch hour in Microsoft Word, Wah-la. I heart it so much. I want to have them all over the house! I'm such a softy for a big capital letter!

note: Amanda Scherer- if you want this as a wedding gift, let me know! :)
