Happy Fathers Day to all daddies out there! We had the best day enjoying time with our little ones. Adi helped me make a cake for my husband and I was able to pull off a surprise project for his office. I’m so excited to show you!
Have you heard about the $5.00 engineers print that Staples offers in their print department? I got my inspiration from Pinterest here:

Basically, I took the kids outside with their “I Heart Daddy” chalkboard sign and took some photos. The same day, I sent my photo to the local staples copy center and ordered the engineers print in 3′x4′. The print was ready in minutes.
I then had a thin light-weight board cut to size at home depot. A little wood stain, adhesive spray, and mod podge later and voila!
Daniel LOVES it and now he has a large statement piece for his office at work. We’re sure to get some looks when we haul it into the office! Maybe we’ll hang it after hours… hmmm.
Hope your day was as lovely as ours was!
Lots of love,
Mary
Love this! Such a cute idea!
I tryed doing this at my staples store and it came out with a purple tint to it….do you have to ask to get it without that tint?
Hmmm, I do remember the woman over the phone telling me to specify black and white in my email order. Maybe you do have to tell them. I would call and ask your local staples what the options are.
LOVE THIS! The Staples website said that they engineering print wasn’t suitable for photos. Did you use the engineering print or the oversize color print?
I used the engineer print. It’s just a regular thin paper feel, so your not going to get a glossy look like photo paper. But it works great for craft projects like this, and the mod podge gives it the finished look your going for. Plus its only $5!
I love this idea and I am going to have to use it. I am in the middle of renovations but I will be using it as soon as I get a wall put up LOL.
