::DIY:: {Dog Silhouette Print}

I've decided to skip WILW this week. I love sharing my favorites every week, but today it just didn't seem right. I AM LIVID!

Why am I a sassafras today? The Casey Anthony trial & verdict has completely pissed me off, to be blunt.

1. I cannot believe she was found not guilty..still shocked.
2. The way that disgusting rat Casey & the whole defense team CELEBRATED her freedom when her child is gone was disgusting, offensive, and crude.

I do agree with the fact that the defense had better arguments than the prosecution, and that they didn't have any hard evidence...but COME ON we all know she murdered that innocent, beautiful child. I am currently hating America's system and the fact that she is getting away with murder.

What do you all think about the verdict? I'm interested to hear everyone's take on it. This sums up a little of my feelings...



Thanks for letting me rant a bit.

Remember when I posted on one of my WILW posts how much I loved this print from Etsy?


Mod Pomeranian Dog Fine Art Print

I knew I had to try to do it myself. Boo-yah!

I still need to buy a matte for it (I bought the wrong size originally) but here's what I did to recreate this look...

Steps:

1. Find and pick a picture of your pet that shows their silhouette really well - standing up seems to work the best.

2. If not already, get it blown up to the size you think will work best for your frame. I had the picture I used of Rocky blown up to a 5x7 (but I also used a 4x6) and you could even do an 8x10 too.

3. Cut around your pets silhouette.

he he..Hi Rockster.

4. Take that cut out picture and tape it to a blank white piece of heavy cardstock. Cut out your pets picture out on the cardstock.

5. Use any color cardstock you wish for the frame and glue/tape your pets silhouette on the paper, add a matte, and frame!

You can even add your pets name with a white marker/pen in the corner. I plan on doing this but haven't yet!



This is an awful picture but you can see I did a smaller version here.
I swear those shelves aren't crooked like how they look.


Here's the bigger version without the matte pictured.
I think it will be perfect when I get the matte for it and add Rocky's name in the bottom right corner :)

I spent about $3.00 for this project - I had cardstock already so I spent it on the frame and less than a $1 to get the picture blown up.

Obviously, this DIY is very very simple, but thought I would share in case any of you wanted to try it yourself before buying it.

What do you think?!

xo.

PS- I still hate you Casey Anthony.

  2. I feel like our justice system did what was fair. They didn't have proof she did it (even though I believe she did) so they had to find her not guilty. It sucks, but it's what's fair.

  10. Amen, amen, amen. I agree totally with the whole Casey Anthony thing. So glad I am not the only one who thinks this way. Adorable print-love the yellow =)

  11. Agreed- no remorse whatsoever from that woman, and the way she was always smiling and giggling in court- disgusting! Even on the slight chance that you didn't kill her yourself- YOUR CHILD WAS MURDERED. Show some f-ing remorse! Good grief!
    Awesome DIY!

  12. I agree with you! It sucks that the prosecutors didn't give the jury what they needed to convict her; I feel like we had more information than they did, BUT you can still convict someone on circumstantial evidence! I mean, WHY else would you NOT tell anyone that your baby was 'missing' for a MONTH? It made me sick to see her celebrating in court...your child is STILL DEAD. It also makes me nauseous to think that people like her can just get pregnant, no problem, while so many people that would be great parents struggle to have babies of their own. Ugh! I don't get it! Anyway, baby Caylee is among the angels...no better place for that sweetie to be!!
