I keep seeing these important date signs crop up all over blogland.
I knew with working on my gallery wall in my entryway I wanted to include some pieces that were art and tied in some of the color that I am trying to bring into my home, but not necessarily photographs. I already made a wooden welcome sign. But I wanted to make one of these date signs that would be significant to our family.You can add whatever dates you want. Some ideas would be family member’s birthdates, anniversaries, your first date, your engagement, the date you bought your first house, the date you found out you were pregnant – pretty much whatever is significant to you!

I originally saw the idea for the design at Andrea Steed‘s blog.

I used my My Memories Suite software to create a digital file. (I have seen projects like these done in Photoshop, but honestly I am still a little scared of that program.) The above image took me about 10 minutes to make with my scrapbooking software.

I used the Modern No. 20 font for the numbers. I added the blue background paper and some white flourishes to dress it up a bit on the top and bottom. They are just mirror images of each other. I added some butterflies to the background because I love them and they are very significant to me. The little heart was added to the ‘zero’ in the middle row of numbers.

I had it printed out at Walgreens as an 8 x 10 and it is now framed in my entryway.

I only have one more element to add to my gallery wall and then I will be able to share it with all of you. I can’t wait!

* If you are interested in purchasing My Memories Suite v2 Software for yourself, you can still get $10 off the purchase price, plus a $10 coupon code to use in the My Memories store. (A $20 value!) Just use coupon code STMMMS30543 at checkout.  {Copy and paste the code to avoid typos} *

    Came over from Sugar Bee Crafts…I love your important date sign. I too need a way to draw in a little more color without using anymore photos! Great idea! :)

    This is such a creative idea! I am going to have to beg my sis in law to make one for me since she has the scrapbooking software
