Too easy to be called a tutorial: Framed Quotes!

I love the framed quotes that you find everywhere these days.

I have a few I've bought from the store, but I like finding my own quotes, and framing them myself.

I decided to find a way to frame some of my recent favorite quotes.

Here's what I came up with:

You can do it too!

Here's what you'll need.

A frame (I got mine for $2.50 from Walmart)

A computer and printer

Paper (I've done scrapbook, and I've done plain white- you decide)

Any Embellishments desired

Scotch tape or Glue

The steps are way easy:

First, Type your quotes

Second, Print

Third, Cut out, embellish, and hang up

For those of you who need a walk through of the computer settings, here they are.  If not, it's pretty self explanatory!

First off, open a new Word Document

I set up my paper size to be 4 X 6 in (tab) because that's the size of frames I had.  Set it up to fit your frames.

Then I copied in my quotes.

I like to have key words be in different fonts, so I highlighted the ones I wanted and changed them.  If you want some new fonts for your quotes, I use www.1001freefonts.com

To make the text be centered vertically on the page, go to Page Setup, click on the Layout tab, and then where it says Vertical Alignment, select Center.

 Once you get your fonts looking the way you want it, print.

If you've set the page size differently, each quote that is on a "page," will come out on a separate page.  So, plan your paper accordingly.  

(If anyone can figure out how to get all four to print on one page, holler!  I am mad at Word for this particular reason!)

Cut out your papers, embellish, and mount in frames.

I did the tear and mount on another paper because my paper cutter and brain weren't in sync I really like the look!!! :)

And there you have it, my tutorial that's so easy, it can't be called a tutorial!
