Thanks to Pinterest, I’ve discovered that I love, love, love the look of photo collages made with canvases.  A quick search on Pinterest will show you tons of rooms that have been decorated with them and they just look so sharp!  And wouldn’t you know, when our first kiddo was born, we were presented with lots of photos that we wanted to showcase!
