My first thought was to make ornaments of my 2 adorable grandbabies, but then I remembered all my photos of them are on my phone and not printed...grrrr! So Wednesday afternoon while I should have been doing more Thanksgiving prep (I had a wonderful Thanksgiving...did you?!!), I went through an old box of photos of our 3 girls when they were young and spent a wonderful trip down memory lane...can't believe how much I enjoyed that!! But anyway, I picked 3 photos I thought would work and made them into tags that I am going to put on the girls Christmas gift this year. I think they are going to get such a kick out of these tags!!
I used the same Limitless Layers: Hearts dies that Lexi used, but cut mine from gold mirror cardstock, and then added a holly die cut also in gold using the Holly Jolly dies. A few drops of Nuvo Red Berry Crystal Drops and gold cord finished off my sweet tags. Our oldest daughter Caitlin had a real love affair with umbrellalella's (as she called them!), and loved to twirl and dance with them...I think she will get a real kick out of this photo! Our middle daughter Colleen was the most photogenic baby and I just had to use a photo from her baptism day...I miss holding that beautiful little baby girl!! And our youngest daughter Calla loved to pose for the camera...her 2 older sisters used to cry when I'd ask them to pose for a picture, but not Calla! She would smile away every time!
This was such a wonderful challenge for so many reasons, so thank you Lexi for taking me on this trip down memory lane! I may just have to get that same box of photo's out on Christmas day and let the girls take a little trip too!
There are still a couple days left to play in this challenge, so check out Lexi's wonderful video and adorable photo ornaments, and then play along. You can find all the details right HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Marcia, these are adorable! What a good idea to use the photos of your used to be babies! I really like your tags and I'm thinking I need to copy your idea. My babies are all grown up as well. Love it!
