I took these photos of my sons, nieces and nephews.
Then I made a precious gift for my Parents and Mr. B's Parents for Christmas!
The photos started out color. Then I went to PhotoBucket and changed the effect to GreyScale. Selected
advanced options and then selected Only Painted area. That way I could keep the letters RED.
I ordered the photos. I guess PhotoBucket is in partnership with CVS because that is where I had to get
them. Not biggie, we have 2 where I live. If they are not convenient to you, if you have enough time you
can order and have them shipped.
I messed up Lil C's photo, I inked around his photo the size opening for the phot on the border. Oh well, I
just ordered another one.
And I'm only half way finished, but so far I'm loving what I see. As I am sure the Parents will too!!
Had to wait on this guy to get home from college. So I was still working on these Christmas Eve Day.
Finished gift for Mr. B's Parents.
Cousins!!
And finished gift for my Parents.
They couldn't ask for better boys!!
Nice bunch of Grandkids, Don't you agree??
Did you make any special gifts for loved ones this Holiday Season??

I LOVE THIS IDEA! I may have to do it for Valentine's Day! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteOur grandma just moved out of state and this would be so nice to send her with all her grandkids! Awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteI'd love for you to link up and share: http://tutusandteaparties.blogspot.com/2011/12/pinteresting-linky-party-week-nineteen.html
This turned out super cute. I did something similar with kids holding up chalkboard that had a phrase (We Love You Grandpa) over 4 photos but I like the simplicity of spelling one word as well. Pinning for later!
