Baby Stats Subway Art...

My latest pinterest-inspired creation...


I love the baby stats subway art...it's so nice to have all those special stats in one spot and displayed in a creative way!  I've seen a lot of it lately and I think it's a great addition to any nursery.  

For this project, I followed the technique used by Sarah at the winthrop chronicles.  I liked that it was easy enough without too many steps or complicated crafting tricks like some of the other "baby subway art" tutorials I had seen.  
Per her suggestion, I used powerpoint to create my layout...it was super easy!  I really wanted to add a bible verse and found I had the extra space in my layout anyways, so it worked out perfectly.
This was my first attempt with mod podge and I'm quite happy with the results :)

Here are some pics of the process (which I would suggest following from the link above if you want to give it a try)
created my subway art in powerpoint and printed them on cardstock

painted my 8.5" x 11" pieces of wood white...I bought a large board at home depot and asked for them to cut it down for me :)

used mod podge to adhere the paper to the wood and sanded the edges




finished with another coat of mod podge...voila!


I've now made four total (one for me and three for friends with new babes).  I think it's a great new baby gift!
