I just checking out Color Me Katie the other day. She is a talented photographer who lives in Brooklyn who I plan on saving all of my money to hire to take family pictures as soon as I lose all of my baby weight which will take a verrrry long time. Long time! Almost as long as that run on sentence I just typed. She cuts out shapes and spreads cheer all over the neighborhood. I decided to add some fun to our Valentines photos this year.
What you will need for this project-
colored paper
a blank wall
natural light
camera
Tape
and a few sassy models.
Step one- Cut, cut, cut. Any shape you want. I chose hearts for Valentines Day.
Make big ones, small ones, gigantic ones, medium ones and microscopic ones.
Next Start taping.
And taping
Put on your new Valentines Day skirt (that mom made from "lingerie" fabric. The indecency of it all!)
And blow a kiss!
Think about how you will express your undying love to your valentine.
There are so many mushy gushy sweet ideas swirling around in this head...
It makes you want to vomit!
A Kiss Is Just A Kiss
Whispering Sweet Nothings In My Ear!
Right back at ya hot stuff!
Happy Valentines Day! We will be spending the morning at church in our "lingerie Skirts". Ooh la-la!
This is so cute. I love the skirts and the heart pictures!

Such a great idea! You could adapt that idea to several motifs! I see a Thanksgiving card with your girls kicking around fall leaves!
