Today's post idea was a total experiment.
Somethings happen out of necessity and necessity only.
This is one of those things.
I had bought these HUGE frames at Ikea a while ago. A looong while ago actually, considering they were still empty as of a few days ago. I had hung them up above our couch in the family room with big plans of finding/taking some adorable photos of my kids to put in them.
And there they sat. You know how it goes.
I was fine with them until I started decking the halls like a banshee. Then suddenly the RIBBA RIBBA RIBBA going across there wasn't doing it for me any more (sorry about the crookedness of those frames... my boys play football there--the couch is the touchdown-- and, needless to say, those get rattled a lot. Maybe I don't even notice it anymore? That's sad).
Since I hadn't had a chance to take any photos of my kids I decided to try something. I created some subway art-ish images in Photoshop using Christmas song lyrics and had them printed 20x30 at Costco ($8.99 each! Can you believe how cheap enlargements are these days? Mind boggling).
I'm not in love with the middle one but they are sure better than RIBBA, right?
Those songs are in my head a lot now, as you can imagine.
If you'd like these images I created them in all sizes... 5x7, 8x10, 16x20 and 20x30 and you can download them in this Box.net collaborative folder HERE.
Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

I just found your blog the other day and have to say I love what I've read so far. Thanks for sharing these. What a great idea! :o)
So cute! Thanks for sharing the printables with us!
So cute!
I am way excited about these! What a fab idea. And because I got overly excited to see what you did, I scrolled down before reading and thought you framed some awesome, wordy wrapping paper. I looooove that you made the subway art and enlarged it! This is totally my kind of project!
I LOVE these! They look awesome! Totally makes me wish I had a few of those 20x30 frames now!
Those are so fabulous! I loved seeing them in persn too, last night - you are so great - have I told you yet today? :)
Landee, Photoshop is not really my friend. I try and try and try... and fail. Can you offer up a tip?! If I create something in PS similar, what do I set the pixels, size, something (when you go to create the new thing) at so that it can print to a 20x30 at Costco. I always get that dreaded resolution warning. Any help would be much appreciated.
@Jaime- When you use photoshop,before you put any images in it, click on IMAGE and scroll down to canvas size. Change the sides from pixels to inches and set it to any size you want. If you are bringing the image on a flash drive, you can go ahead and make it 20x30, then just zoom out so you can see. If you are printing, I'd suggest 7x10, then save as a high quality image, costco can worry about enlarging it.
Please take me on as your apprentice Master Landee!I want to learn the ways of interiorly decorating my dojo!
Wow - those looking amazing!!
@Mommy Malsack - thank you so much! And Landee, thanks for your email!! I think I am about to have too much fun!! ;)
I seriously love visiting "Landee Land" !!
I Love IKEA and I Love these! (And the middle one was actually the first one to catch my eye!! :)
Merry Christmas!
You're so fabulous Landee. I love these!
Oh, I love them! And they look so awesome in the giant frames! Four thumbs up!
Ooh, I love them BIG!!!
OMG Love them big!! 16x20 would be fabulous!! Thanks so much!!
L-O-V-E! LOVE these! Now my wheels are spinning for a non-Christmas version. Thanks for the inspiration!

LOVE these, I truly do. Any chance of posting the large 20 x 30 size for download. Love your blog. Will visit often now that my sister sent me your link. Would REALLY appreciate the larger download.
These are so cute! You are so talented - thanks for sharing!

I love these! Thank you so much for including the link to print them!
HUGE Thank you for posting the larger sizes! Merry Christmas to you!
What size Ribba frames from Ikea did you use? The ones for $15 or the ones for $25?
You are so talented and creative! There are amazing and make such a bold statement. I have stumbled this post. I am a new GFC and Twitter follower visiting from Flamingo Toes. Vicky from Mess For Less
What feature in PhotoShop did you use to make these awesome posters? I'm a PhotoShop newbie and would love to be able to make similar posters with different lyrics!
Thank You!
These looks so great, thank you!!
Thank you for updating with the 20x30. Sending mine to Costco now!! Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
Thanks for sharing your hard work!
These are fantastic!!! I think I'll download and save for next year! Thank you for sharing :)
I LOVE these! I love big art.
These are FANTASTIC! You did a great job on the subway art, and I love the big size! I'd be thrilled if you'd link up to {Not So} Tough Tuesday's on One Tough Mother!
http://onetoughmom.blogspot.com/
BRILLIANT!!!! Thanks for sharing the downloads too! This is perfect for all the extra frames I have around the house! <3
xxoo
I love these. I agree that the middle one stands out differently than the other two. Not a bad thing, just different. Maybe it's the white on white that bothers your eye?
Another project that makes me wish I had Photoshop. And I'm laughing too because I have a few frames myself that are sitting around waiting for pictures of my boys.
Landee, Solution to your "crooked" picture problem---"Quake Hold". Found at hardware stores usually near the picture hanging stuff but you may have to ask. It's a putty like substance that really works. I put a small little ball of it on the bottom corners of all my artwork and it stays in place. Example--I used to have a small shelf in the living room with an heirloom china plate on it. Shelf fell down--plate was still stuck to the wall. Awesome.
These are awesome!!! Thank you for sharing! They're getting pinned for next year!
Merry Christmas!
Sending people your way! These are so cute, Landee. I was able to take your PS tutorial and create some similar! Thanks for always being so inspiring! So fun!
These are so lovely! thanks very much :)
Merry Christmas xx
These are AWESOME!!! I think they look great on your wall, even the middle one. LOL

I love these. I tried to download, but it says the user needs to add bandwith.
I love it! I got the same error saying you need to add more bandwith. Can you email the 3 to me? I prefer 8 x 10.

HI! I had trouble with an error message. Can you email the 3 large ones to eliciakatrina@gmail? Thanks :)

thanks! a little late finding yo but will save for next year - i also have these huge frames - great idea!
Love your blog! I'm adding a link to your blog from my blog, Home is Where my Heart is, under the heading "blogs I love to read!" - Cath http://cathhasablog.blogspot.com/
Love these...any chance you have some that are winter themed now that christmas is over? :)
These are fantastic! I'm thinking a gift for my sister - she LOVES Christmas and she's hard to find good gifts for!
you are awesome for sharing the big prints! thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing such an awesome idea and downloads!
I love your blog! I am going to download ALL sizes. Thank you for sharing!! Can't wait until Christmas!!
YM N.
I'm SO GLAD you shared these!!! I've been wanting a HUGE Christmas print for a long time now! THANK YOU!!!
I love these and it solves a big problem for me. I have one of these frames on my mantle all year long with a print that is not good for Christmas. Now I can put one of these in it. YEAH!! Would LOVE to have one done with other Christmas songs like Jingle Bells or Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Thanks for posting these.
You know - I love these! No santa, snowmen, pixies or other faux-el stuff! CHRISTmas! Thank you and Joyous Christmas to you!
These are perfect and i would like to use them but i need them to fit in different sized frames do you have any long narrow versions say 28x7. Long and skinny?? Anyway to make them that way? Thanks
Is it possible to get the "Joy to the World" image in 4x6 size? I would love to make it the background for my Christmas card if that's okay. Thank you so much!
Another good idea (kinda similar) is to use wrapping paper of your choice and frame that also, you can customize it to get the perfect look for you :)
Love these! Thanks for sharing, but I am unable to download. Will you please send me the 20x30?
ke.campbell@cox.net
I love these! Thanks so much for allowing us to use them in our homes! I received a download error - Could you please send me the 16x20 sizes of all 3? Thank you!
amandalynn1480@gmail.com

Thank You

Hi Landee... love your blog, just signed up! I cannot download the Christmas posters. I was wanting all 3 in the 16X20 & 20X30 sizes to start making some xmas gifts with them. Would you kindly email them to me. I would appreciate it so much. bajohnston@rocketmail.com
Thanks,
Betty-Anne
Beautiful!! What a great job you did. I am able to download but I don't see the "Holy" in 8x10. Can you email it to me please? susangoodge@yahoo.com
Thanks
Love them! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing them--I love 'em! :)
Thanks so much for sharing. Here in the Netherlands Christmas is not as big a thing as in America. So these nice decorations are hard to find here. I wish I was in The States during xmas time... ;-)
This would look great on the blank wall in my living room. But, what do you put in them when its not Christmas????
Thanks so much for posting and sharing!I can't wait to make some for my home! With daughter & grand babies moving in decorating is going to be difficult but pictures on a wall should be safe. lol! Thanks!
I can't make the link work. :( Would you please send me the files? (I'd like them all!! I'm greedy like that.)
Thank you!!!!!
Landee, I am so computer inept. I would love to make signs, printables myself. How do I learn? I've tried finding tutorials on the web but nothing is helping. I'm one of those, that I actually need someone holding my hand guiding me through it. lol. Anyways, any help that you could give, would be appreciated.
Thank you.

HI! I was trying to get to your Christmas files and they are no longer there. Is there a way to still print them?? Thanks so much!
jesscameron05@gmail.com
Sad... the files are no longer in the folder. The only file there is the Baby It's Cold Outside with a snowflake. How can I get your prints? Thank you- you are truly talented!
Thank you again for adding the files back to Box!! I can't wait to pick them up from Sam's Club so I can put them up!
Hi, if you are still willing to email out the copies since the link says you are out of bandwidth, I would love 8x10s of the "Oh Holy Night" and "Joy to the World". Love these, thanks for sharing them! Merry Christmas! laura.jane.kennedy@gmail.com
Hello!!! I too am having trouble downloading your prints as it says you are out of bandwidth. I was hoping to download 16x20's of all three of your prints; Holy Night, Joy and Hark. I finally found the perfect frames and I can't wait to print out your designs...would it be possible to have them sent via e-mail???? THANK YOU so much for your creative inspiration!! Happy Holidays, Shelley fitset@hotmail.com or sbuyagawan@gmail.com
I second that! Would love to be able to download the files for the 16x20 size!
I would love the files too if you're still sharing them. If I could have all 3 prints in 8x10 and 16x20, that would be great! Thanks so much for sharing! Merry Christmas! goehner@comcast.net
I would LOVE to have the 16x20 of them also! Thank you so much for sharing these!!

Hi, I'm unable to download as the others mentioned. Would you be so kind to email to ssdanks@gmail.com!???? Interested in the 16x20 all 3 prints. Thank you Thank you Thank you! & Happy HOlidays! :)
Saw these on Pinterest and had to have them! Love but was unable to download. If possible could you email the 16x20 to kkady620@yahoo.com? Thanks so much and happy holidays!
Hi. I have fallen in love with these prints. You did a great job. WOuld you please email me the 20x30 "joy to the world" one. I really would appreciate it. My email is Erica7886@gmail.com
Hello again...I left a comment yesterday about LOVING your prints and hoping there was a chance they could be e-mailed out. I noticed when getting the pop up message about not being able to print out the images, that it says that you need to update your account with more credits. I am assuming there is a fee with that on your end. I would be happy to send a little $ to you to help with that cost, as I REALLY REALLY REALLY would love to print out these designs. My frames are ready to go!! And by looking at the rest of the posts after me, there are quite a few people who would love to print your designs out as well! Please let me know @ fitset@hotmail.com or sbuyagawan@gmail.com. Thanks so much!!!! Shelley
I know you are probably tired of these posts, but I have to try. I can't get them to download. I LOVE your prints and am not savy enough to create my own. Can you email the "O Holy Night" and the "Joy to the World"? 20 X 30 for both to taramartin11@hotmail.com
Thank you so much, but understand if you are overwhelmed and don't want to.
I have to try as well - would love the 16x20s but would take whatever is easiest!! alexiswk@hotmail.com. if anyone else has them, please share!
Thank you so much and happy holidays -
Lexi

The pics are back online! I tested it myself!
Thanks Landeelu :)
Merry Christmas!
I was able to download without registering and just ordered through Walgreens. With the $15 off code, the total for two 16 x 20 prints came to $15. What a great deal. I can pick up in one hour! I can hardly wait to get these up on the wall and add some holiday cheer to our house. Thanks a million for sharing!
These are awesome! Printed these in 8x10 for our dining room and they look great. Would love to do them as you did for our family room. Maybe next year :) Found you via Pinterest and am now a follower on FB.
I appreciate you taking your time to make this and share this for free. Thank you!
Thanks so much!! Love each one of them!!
Found your picture on pinterest and within 5 mins I've downloaded and uploaded the photos to costco. Will run to Ikea right now and the project will be done within the day. I'M SO EXCITED. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thankyou so much for sharing!!! We felt like we were missing something by way of decoration this year, so when I saw these I downloaded them right away, printed them and bought some cute white frames to put them in. They're gorgeous, and I never could have done the design work myself. Thankyou!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much! What a sweet thing to share!
These are great. I would love to post a link to your free printable in my post on www.thelovelyproject.org. I want to include this cute printable in my list of easy projects to cram for Christmas.
I printed these for decorating my familyroom this Christmas. They turned out perfect. Everyone loved them and wanted to know where I bought them! I was so proud to say I made them! I like your site very much. Just a suggestion I would love more prints to put in the frames, say spring, Thanksgiving.
I wanted to print these around the holidays and never had the time...now I'm ready but there doesn't appear to be anything to download:(
If you can email any size of all 3 I would be so thrilled.
