So after many years of kids in school I have come to dread* the star student posters that happen for each child each year...(at least in the lower grades)...last year I created this poster sized "picture poster" in Photoshop Elements**. When Bailey brought home a note last week saying she was the star student instead of thinking: "Oh boy, so now I need to remember to buy a poster and find some cute pictures and make the whole thing look cute..." I thought: "Yes, I have it pretty much already done!"
All I had to do is swap a few pictures to update them, ask Bailey if her "favorites" are still her favorites and then send it into Costco (a 20x30') to print....The. End.
Seriously I am quietly giggling to myself with how easy it was.
*don't get me wrong...I think the star student idea is great. I love how excited the kids get when it is their turn...it is just a lot when it is x3!
**I used the GG Digital Designs -Summer Lovin-girl kit (she even has a boy version of the kit, but I think both are not available any more...sorry!)

i love doing this too. it's so much easier for me than buying a poster and printing off the photos. we have been framing them to hang in their room. i love that frame with the bow. so cute.
by the way, i was talking with someone in your old ward (in my ward now) and she said, "you know heather jordan & how she's so amazing & has everything so put together." and yes... that's how i feel about you too. good work!! :)
Way to cut down the work!
Oh, and i love your Maryn fish page. SO. Cute!
Really smart idea, I'll have to remember that one!
You never cease to amaze me! I'm sure Bailey felt happy with how professional her poster turned out!
