California love

I've been seeing state love everywhere these days.. I fell in love with a print by q.a. design over on etsy which was quite bold and cute, but gave the wrong part of California love with it's heart in San Francisco..So, I set out to make my own version of CA love..and it was so unbelievably easy!

A simple google search for free California state shape clip art, and some editing with my software over at Picnik, and voila...I could give any part of California a little love, and change the state and background color to my liking. Slipped it into a frame that I cluster with others, and wham, bam, thank you ma'am, a little homage to our hometown.


My next state love project will be a set of notecards for correspondence. I am just in LOVE with this little print.

  2. The frame is a Tatumi frame that Crate and Barrel used to sell. We got a set of mix and match as a wedding gift and I love them. I have seen similar ones at West Elm and Pottery Barn. I keep photos in 3 of the frames, and usually put seasonal things in the other 2. Super simple to change out and an easy change to a room as the mood strikes.
