My Pinterest Christmas

Being in college has its pros and cons.
One of the cons is that I am broke as a joke most of the time.
This sucks for many reasons, one of them being that I love to give gifts more than I love getting them and when Christmas comes and I am broke, it takes away some of the joy of the season because I cannot give a gift to everyone I would like to.

But this year, I was able to stretch my gift giving a bit farther because of my beloved Pinterest. Here is a simple gift that is so easy to make.


 I designed it myself on the computer. It has my husband's birthday on it with his name, my birthday and my name, and our anniversary. The bottom says "What a Difference a Day Makes".

It literally took me 10 minutes, and most of that is because I am a perfectionist and wanted to get the exact right font and color. I was able to make one for my sister, cousin, grandma, and my mom. I also made one for my mama with all four of her children and their birthdays. Everyone loved it and I customized it to what they would like as far as color and font.

All it cost me was the frame to put it in and I will be honest, I spent $1 at the Dollar Store.

So there ya go. A cute, personal gift that is almost free and everyone will love. Thanks Pinterest!

  2. Sweet, Britt! This turned out super cute! One thing I wanna learn how to do since we got Photoshop not too long ago is to make a shape out of typography...like a heart or something. I had someone do that for me and give it as a gift at my bridal shower, and it was so ridiculously cute! thanks for some inspiration :)
