It's time again for the Pinterest Poser Challenge. In an attempt at not being a Pinterest Poser,* every week I detail a new Pinterest challenge whether it be a new recipe or a craft.
**My definition of a Pinterest Poser is someone who is all pins and no substance.**
This week I created my own Pinterest magic and tried out a few fun Valentine's Day decorating projects.
I love photo booths almost as much as I love wine and dancing. I've shared before how I think a photo booth brings out the silly in almost anyone. From my early days as a mall rat getting my picture taken with friends at the arcade photo booth (holy sh*t does that make me sound old) to the recent craze of mobile photo booths at weddings and special events, I am a true devoted fan. Silly faces, kissy faces, smiley faces and props--it's just all good.
So, I decided to make a homemade photo booth. A recent snow day seemed like the perfect time.
Here's how it went down:
- I grabbed a sheet (from my bed) found a corner in my dining room that looked booth-y and just like Martha Stewart would do, I duct taped the sheet to the wall.
- I sent the kids to the basement playroom to get play clothes and props.
- I sat a piano bench in front of the sheet, gathered the kids together and they started posing. I counted down five seconds in between clicking to make it more fun and the poses more spontaneous.
- For some Valentine's Day photos, we had special props and then I headed over to PicMonkey.com (my fav online editing site) and made some fun photo booth strips.
I love the way the pictures turned out. And we all had a blast. And guess what it cost me? NOTHING.
This would be a fun idea to do at one of my children's next birthday parties and then use the pictures as thank yous.

There are a ton of cute Valentine's Day projects on Pinterest. Since I've had a few poser fails lately, I picked a fairly easy one project.
Heart Paper Garland Strands (via Real Simple.com)
I did not follow the directions very closely, really I just looked at the picture and sort of copied it.
I used scrap booking paper (in nontraditional Valentine's colors) that was on sale at Michael's. I cut wonky shaped hearts and started sewing them together with a needle and thread. It only took about 10 minutes and I love my new garland.

ReplyDeleteNo matter how careful you are with your camera, but still a close zoom will bring out these issues. A professional photo must be free from these and therefore retouching is very necessary. Retouching will remove all the dirt, blemish, spots and dusts from a photo and will make it more vibrant. best photo editing website
