I bought these a couple months ago to frame pictures of my children for the wall in the guest room/library. I ended up doing something different on that wall so I casually put two of them above the bookshelves in my office. I really liked the height they added to the room.
So I decided to create a couple quick prints to fill them for Christmas.
I made the red and gray "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" print in Illustrator.
The bird tree graphic is from The Graphics Fairy. It's from a 1870s Christmas card - how cool is that! I changed the color from black to dark turquoise in Illustrator.
I hoped to have them printed on regular paper but Kinko's wanted $35/print...uh no. So I converted them to .jpgs and sent them to Costco for $5/print. YAY!
If you look really close the prints are a little blurry but from a distance they look great.
In the interest of full disclosure. This is what the rest of my office looks like...*sigh*... I CANNOT keep it clean and organized. It is a huge source of stress because it is the first room you see when you open the front door and I cannot be creative in that space! I really need to make this room a top priority. {{update: I spent some time in my office today and have cleared the floor (mostly - still some neat piles of stuff that has no home yet) and my desk. Whew...that feels better!}}
