Lizzie's Room

I made name frames for my girls when we moved into our house 4 years ago and they hang in the hallway right outside each girl's room. My 9yo took hers down recently and asked me if I would update her name frame and she chose some cardstock colors she liked.  I set the project aside because I just couldn't think of a cool design. I wanted to do something different than just spelling her name and decorating around it.

  I saw this card on Alyssa's blog and clicked on the link and took a look at Kenny K's images and found a non-sexy one for my daughter's frame.  I decided to do it up in a way that discouraged people from entering her room--she's in the "get out of my room" stage.  So I opened up Photoshop Elements and laid it all out.  I wanted it to be a surprise but she saw it before I colored it and told me what copics to use. LOL  I think it turned out cute and she absolutely loves it. 

Without further ado...

The sentiments say:

Did I say you could come in?
Well? Did I?
I'm not kidding.
What makes you so special?
I like Justin Bieber. U want to make something of it?
Your middle name will be regret.
Keep walking and nobody gets hurt.
That's what I thought.

The main design is 8x8 and I matted it and framed it in a 12x12 frame.  I had to take it out of the frame to take this picture (too much glare), but it looks even better all nicely framed.

Thanks for stopping by!
