• Hello! My name is Shannon. I live in the desert with my husband Scott and 3 kids (Conner, Payton, Anna). I have been blogging since 2005 and I love to write about my family, everyday life, dating my husband, projects and parties, memory keeping, being a mom, faith, setting and working towards goals, and finding joy in the journey.

    Thank you so much for dropping by!

I plead with you not to let those important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and non-existent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey -- now.

valentine subway art

So has anyone else noticed the DIY subway art trend pop up in a big way?  I think Tater Tots and Jell-O was the first place I saw it last year.  And she did her project with a Valentine theme.  She gives a great tutorial, but I went with a slightly different and less time consuming method.  Vinyl lettering.  :)

Subwayart

My steps:

1.  Paint 8x10 canvas.

2.  Adhere vinyl lettering.

3.  Apply a thin coat of matte mod podge. (My vinyl lettering wasn't in love with the canvas, so I added a top coat of mod podge to seal everything on.)

I love how it turned out!  Fun Valentine decor, but understated enough to go in my front living room.

I made 2 additional canvases for the first two ladies on my Facebook "Pay it Forward" list -- Alicia & Nykki.  Watch your mailboxes, because it is on it's way!
