As easy as 1 2 3

Earlier I was going on about what I wanted to put up in Gabriel's room.

So today I made this... it's super easy and uses up paper scraps of which I have many. 
I got a cheap plastic frame from a $2 shop (it cost more than $2, but on a side note, those shops are seriously awesome) Then I cut some craft paper to fit inside, traced letters onto different patterns of paper, cut them out, stuck them down and closed the frame.
So easy.

 The letters I traced were die cuts (di-cuts?)... (whatever)... from Basic Grey that I had from my days working at the Scrapbook Burrow. This is the first time I've used them since then. I imagine that it would be a simple thing to use any kind of font you wanted (thanks The Internet) it would just take a little more prep. That way you could change the size up too.

I didn't have the time, or patience. I did this while Gabe was sleeping.

Easy.

Doing it for the kids

Our Gabe only got his own room when we moved to The Tower at the end of last year. It was a total revelation to me, and to him too apparently because he magically started sleeping through the night.

I would love to be able to put all sorts of awesome art around his room so he had this inspiring environment to exist in... or some kind of developmental jargony thing... This is one of the reasons why I am so interested in children's illustrations.

some of my attempts

Would really love to get some bold coloured fairy tales, and typography type things. I don't really get the whole alphabet poster thing in the general sense (I know my abc's I don't really want them on my wall) but it makes more sense in a kids room. 

Last Sunday Gabe was given a framed picture of Christ teaching some children which I thought was a great thing.

What kind of things do you have up in your kids rooms? What kind of things would you love to put up but can't find? Let's collaborate! (Let me poach your ideas!)
