11x14 Prints--easy decor

I have a hard time decorating my house period! let alone for the next holiday.  It seems like as soon as I get the box of decorations out the holiday is over.  Christmas is about the only holiday I seem to get up and all the storage boxes put away before the big day.  I'm not sure what it is, but I think it has to do with being so busy and multitasking so much that I can't accomplish anything.

So I decide to change that, if only a little.  I love Heritage Makers simple 11x14 prints. They are big enough to be seen, but not overwhelming and add just the touch I need to celebrate life.

Here's what I did:

I just went to my local craft store and bought a frame (16x20) that was matted to 11x14 and then went to town and designed a bunch of 11x14 prints.
SIMPLE!!

Here is what the frame looks like today:


Here are the sayings I'm going to cycle through:
Because I am a MORMON!

Because I have FIVE boys!

For Easter

My homeschooling slogan
See I personalized this one!

Because my sink is never empty.

The song of my heart.

Because I choose Steve.

I have a folder in Pinterest that is full of ideas I can't wait to put on an 11x14 print and display in my home.  In fact I just might have to get a second or third frame for a few other rooms in my home.  I know my daughter wants a frame for her room to put her Young Women's prints in. 

11x14 Prints are only $4 Retail, but with Club HM they are:
Bronze: $3.75
Silver: $3.57
Gold: $3.33

At that price I might be getting FIVE frames!


Invitations

I love Heritage Makers 5x7 invitations. They are so easy to use and so versatile.  Just recently we celebrated our fifth Eagle Scout and I sent out these very cute and very PERSONALIZED invitations to my son's friends and our family inviting them to his Eagle Court of Honor.

I'm not very fond of the High School Graduation announcements that my kids get to pick so I designed my own.
Here are the two that have graduated:



 These are very simple; they are just a photo (one on each side) and then I just typed up the information about each boys' graduation and a little bit about their plans for the future.
