DIY Photo Wall Art: Live Laugh Photograph

DIY Photo Wall Art: Live Laugh Photograph has been made possible by Shutterfly and Looksi Square.
A bunch of us bloggers were offered some free prints by Shutterfly and Looksi Square in exchange for coming up with ways to display the photos. I had a series of photos I took at a studio, so I was thrilled to get a chance to display them.
For the longest time I wanted to make this Live Laugh Photograph text, making out the letters with several photos. That would have required more photos AND more wall space, to I was agonizing over what to do. A couple days ago I found this pin with a collage from blackandwhitedelight.com, and thought "Of course! I'll make the photos into letters!". Black and White Delight doesn't seem to exist anymore, but I'm glad I found the pin. So I finally got to work:

How to:
I cut out letters from parchment paper, which I then tried on top of different photos so I could see which photos would fit which letters the best.
I cut out the photos according to my parchment paper models.
I attached the photos on the wall with some mounting putty.
Done!

PS: You can see the photos from the shoot with Lizzie in my photo blog.
