Crafty. Framing Hipstamatic prints...

So I've decided that I'm not much of a blogger. In order to be a good blogger, you must think as a blogger, which means you must always be thinking, and sometimes, I don't want to think! I just want to veg out with some wine and trash TV! With that said, I have some extra time tonight as Trey is out with the boys, and there ain't shit on TV, so I'll take this time to inform you of my latest craft projects.

I decided I needed to do something with all 2,000 photos I have on my phone. Most of them taken with photo apps like Hipsmatic and Instagram, so there are some pretty cool, artsy ones. So, this is what I did...

1- I took the black and white photos using the Hipstamatic app. I choose Blackeys for my film, and Jimmy for my lens.

2- I downloaded my faves, and ordered the prints at Walgreens.com. When checking out, choose the TrueDigitalPrints option, so that they don't stretch your photos. They will make the photos true to size which is about 3x5. It will still print on a 4x6, so it will come with a border.

3- Once I had the prints in hand, I measured and cut them to fit into a white frame I bought at IKEA for $19. I love the result, very vintage-y!

Here is one in color...it was taken at night, with an overhead light on, so it looks yellow, but its just as white as the frame above.
