A Small Wall of Free Printables {Kitchen Style}

A while ago I told you about the Mini Art Gallery space I put together for the kitchen..{you know the one I kept talking about but never showed you}. Our fridge is framed in and I thought the end would make the perfect place to showcase my little guys masterpieces. I simply collected several mixed-matched frames, gave them all a coat of white paint and hung them in a collage-style kind of way. I just love the space, especially when it's filled with my little guys creations. Well, the warm weather is here and we have exchanged our arts and crafts time for daily outdoor adventures so I decided to switch the wall up a little and let Mommy have a turn. Since this wall is ever changing, I wanted to create a few 'next to nothing', 'pretty much free', pieces of 'art' to fill the frames. A few hours of browsing the web and playing around with a publishing program and I came up with these! I've included the printables below...just click on each image to view the full size version to print. These fit perfectly in 8X10 frames.

The other two pieces are The Erasable Menu I posted yesterday
You can find the tutorial here

And the Rolled Book Page Wreath that I borrowed from the Powder Room.

I added a metal candle plate to the center and dressed it up by gluing a printed cigar label to the center.

Quick and easy wall art...perfectly priced too!!
I'll be back in a few hours with the Sunday Showcase Party ~ Can't wait to see what you've been working on! Enjoy!

I might have to pretend your silver lining print out is a pillow- I couldn't find a picture of the appropriately embroidered pillows I remember finding at grandma's when I was a kid or even the variations my own mother gave me every time I've had bad things happen to illustrate a point. And the awesome paper you printed on looks conveniently like organic fabric. (I'm running a micro blog on "stuff hippie moms like" that is kind jokey but true- and has my own hippie mother's approval- and I realized how hard Silver linings were insisted upon as a kid earlier today...)
