How to: Make a Poster into a Photo Collage

I bought this beautiful poster forever ago at Target for a clearance price of $6.98. I could never find a suitable frame for it - since it’s 3ft by 2ft, and I could never justify spending more then 10 bucks on a frame to hang up a thick piece of paper with a pretty image printed on it.

It’s been following me around forever, and my cat kinda chewed the corners of it (it was wrapped and mounted on cardboard, and she loves cardboard). It’s a little dog eared on the edges, and I almost just threw it away.

When I was moving recently I noticed that I have an abundance of frameless frames. I decided to cut up the poster and put it in the frames to make a pseudo-photo composite. Like the ones i do on flickr.

R.I.P Myrtle the Turtle

I woke up this morning, wandered into the kitchen to feed the cats and then “crruuuunch”. I stepped on something crunchy and sticky in the hallway. It was my FISH! Those silly cats last night killed my fish. Specifically Pepe (formally known as Chucky). He didn’t even give him the courtesy of killing and leaving alone. No - he MURDERED him, and then mangled the body.

Moving day 1.5 of 2

I’m moving on up in the world. That’s for sure.

I’ve got a new amazing apartment, in a really nice quiet area. No Ambulances at all hours of the night, and that awful truck that went over speed bumps at 50 miles an hour (I swear pieces of his truck go flying every time). PLUS - I won’t have to play the ‘beat the hungry McDonald’s customers across Woodward’ game any more. That was always fun.
