SuBWaY ARt- A great last-minute gift

First off, I have to say where I have been: Everywhere!! We have traveled all over the US. (OK, just a few states, but it feels like the entire US) And then, of course, the usual summer activities- swimming, camping, hiking, family reunions, etc. At the first of September, I will start posting more often. I have some awesome projects I can't wait to share.
Anyway, I have one more family reunion coming up. They do an auction of random crafts and donated items to earn money for future reunions. This year I was limited on time, and money! I decided to design three different pages of subway art for the next three holidays, and put them with a nice picture frame. To make them a little nicer than an at-home print-out, I emailed them to a little copy shop on digital copy 100 weight paper. It gives it a nice finish looks more professional. My sister-in-law gave me the same kind of gift, but with holidays throughout the entire year! I love it and my kids get so excited to change it every month.

The program I use is called Microsoft Publisher from the Microsoft Office Suite. I'm sure there are really amazing programs out there that are better to work with, but due to a tight budget, I make this work. Between my font download tutorial and this program, you can do all kinds of cool stuff. You can make invites, posters, picture collages, announcements, etc.  If you have Microsoft Publisher, you are interested in a step-by-step tutorial of how to make word art posters like the pictures below, make a comment or email me. I will do a post just for you :)

Ok, so here is what I came up with.  Just click on the picture you want and it will take you to a place to download.

Enjoy!
