DIY Loves Notes Board

I've put a lot of effort into making our bedroom a more relaxing place over the last few months.  I started with just de-cluttering and re-organizing everything, and now I'm on to some simple decorating.  I was browsing my Pinterest boards this past week when I spotted this, and knew it would be a great addition to our bedroom!  I whipped up this super easy project in about half an hour and totally love it!

All you need is a frame, a dry erase marker, and some paper to print on.  I just used an old frame we had around that wasn't being used, and a photo I took last summer as the background.  

Here's a quick run down of what I did.  First off, open up your photo in Photoshop.

I decided I wanted to make my background a little faded so that the words would stand out more.  To do that, you have to to over to the layers tab in the bottom right corner, left click on "background," and select "layer from background".  It will then ask you to name the layer.  I just went with the default "layer 0".

Then go up to where it says "opacity" and use the slider to make it as faded as you like.  I turned mine down to about 80%.

From there you can select your font and type away!  I used the "stars from our eyes" font from this free set.

Flatten your image, save, and print!  If you're not much for photoshop, I think framing an old card or piece of fabric would look great too!

Enjoy! :-)
