Summer Subway Art--10 Choices

Did you have a nice 4th of July weekend?   I had a fantastic time with my family.  The 4th was filled with fireworks, food, and fun, but I also found some time over the weekend and the last couple of days to finish the summer subway art design.  I used many of the words and colors that were suggested here, thanks for your input!
    
 

There are ten color choices.

The prints are saved as high resolution jpeg's.

For Personal Use Only
If you would like to share this subway art with your readers, I ask that you use one of the photos or the color choice image above and then link back here for the prints. Please don't post the prints on your blog. Thank you! :)


 




 

Use the black and white print to print/copy onto scrapbook paper, or colored paper.  It is also the best print to start with if you want to recolor the subway art.

*For even more color choices, read through my tutorial on
To download: You must first click on the image to open it in a new window in it's highest resolution. Right click on the image and either copy and paste it into a document (to size and then print), or click on save image as to save it to your computer. You will need to size it before you print.
To size the prints: The prints look will look the best printed as an 8x10 or 4"x5" (for a card), but can be stretched to other sizes if you insert them into a document using a program like Microsoft Word/Publisher or Photo shop. Insert the image, click on it, then drag the sides of the image to the size that you want. (A 5x7 will look a bit stretched with this design.)
*You can also save the image to your computer and then use your computer's picture manager program to print it as an 8x10.
Print them on white or colored card stock, scrapbook paper, or (for the best quality) on photo paper. (Check your dollar store for photo paper, I buy packages of 8- 8x10 sheets for only $1.)
  
This isn't the best photo, but the print reminds me of watermelon, although the color is actually called rhubarb. :)

Ten things you can make with subway art prints (including ideas that were passed on to me by some of you):
  1. Simply just print and frame
  2. Gift tags
  3. Dinner place cards
  4. Greeting cards
  5. Cut the print in vinyl and then apply onto a ceramic tile
  6. Print and tape/glue onto a small paper sack filled with party favors
  7. Print at the size of a small tissue box and tape/glue onto the side
  8. Decoupage onto a painted wood block to set on a table or shelf
  9. Print onto overhead transparency and place inside of a hand sanitizer bottle (tutorial here)
  10. Print onto printable fabric and make into a pillow 
I love to get feedback on creative ways you've used the subway art prints, so if you have another idea, I'd love to hear about it!  I hope you'll enjoy the prints. :)

Guest Posting at Oopsey Daisy's Summer Camp and Month in Review

I'm over at Oopsey Daisy's Summer Camp today sharing some fun activities and a printable game for a favorite children's book of mine.  If you've got a few minutes to come to summer camp, I'd love to have the company and I'm pretty sure you'll love the book!



Month in Review

Each month I like to feature the bloggers that have spotlighted one of my projects.  It's my small way of letting them know how much I appreciate them.   The links go directly to their home pages if you see any you'd like to check out.




Tator Tots and Jello (Facebook feature)

Frugal Upstate (Facebook feature)
Pittypat Paperie--Diane has a fun idea for a subway art tag.




Millers Ink
(Lynn was so sweet and posted a feature post about my blog on the day that I featured her cards.) 

Thank you!

If you featured my blog in June and I missed you on the feature list, please send me an e-mail so I can add a link to your home page. 

Also, I won this super fun tote set over at Blue Cricket Design!  Cute, huh!  The bag and clutch were sewn by Elizabeth at Sew Chatty.   If you're in need of a new tote, I can tell you that she did a really great job sewing this one.   Thanks so much Becca and Elizabeth, I love it!

I apologize to any of you who may be waiting for a summer subway art print to fill your empty frames.  I had every intention of posting it this week, but I haven't been able to find the time to get it finished yet.  I'll try again for next week.  I promise you that I'll have it ready before summer has passed, lol. :)

Guest Posting: Pocket Full of Pink

Today I'm guest posting over at Pocket Full of Pink and am happy to have Karen here sharing a fun redo tutorial with you.

Hello!  I am Karen From the Blog Pocket Full of Pink.  I am so excited to be here and show you a few of my favorite projects from my blog Pocket Full of Pink.  I love all things crafty and find it relaxing to find junk and make it into something I love!


I am so excited to be here and show you my blog and the project I have been working on lately!  
Here are some are some of my favorite projects that I have made:

Flower Wall Art
I love that it was so easy and quick to make and I used supplies I already had on hand! Click here to see how I made it.

Spring Barnwood sign 
Here's a sign I re-purposed from an old sign I got at Salvation Army!
You can see the tutorial here.

I Love you Valentines Frame
I used lots of supplies I had on hand for this cute Valentine frame.  Find the tutorial here.

Today I am going to show you my T-shirt Makeover:

I was at Target the other day and found 2 of the same shirt for $2.50 each.  They were long sleeve and V-neck.  I knew I had to buy them and try a make-over with them!  I have been wanting to try this for months, but haven't had the courage too.

I stumbled across this blog a few weeks ago, and I love her shirt redo tutorials.  She gives awesome directions!  This is where I got the idea for mine. Now remember, this is the first one I have done and I am NOT a seamstress by any means.  Sewing even kinda stresses me out, but I like how it turned out!

I also used another tutorial from another blog for the sleeves.  They were long sleeves, but I changed them to 3/4 sleeve length.  I feel terrible, because I can't remember the name of the blog that I got that tutorial from.  If anyone knows, please tell me so I can give here credit!!


The neckline seemed a little stretched out when I was done, but I was planning on wearing that white shirt underneath anyways (don't like the cleavage look).
I really was happy with the way it turned out.  I have been wearing it everywhere!


It probably took me about 2 hours to make, but for my first time, I don't think that was too bad!

Thanks so much for letting me visit Janet!  I would love you to stop by my blog Pocket Full of Pink anytime!

Thanks for visiting Karen!
