Digitally Homemade

My crafty sister-in-law made an adorable little color booklet for her little one. I decided to do my rendition of it - and I LOVE how it turned out:

I decided to make them for my neighbor gifts this year, so I e-mailed everyone I had addresses for and tried to get the others... and put them together. My favorite part was seeing which pictures my friends would choose of their little ones. It was so fun!

And... if you didn't get one, it's because I didn't have your e-mail address, or you don't live in my neighborhood. But if you're reading this and want to make one I'll help you out! Just drop off 12 (full size) photos here. Please name each photo with the following so I know which is which:

1. Favorite (pic of your little one - will be printed in black and white)
2. Red
3. Orange
4. Yellow
5. Green
6. Blue
   
7. Purple
8. Pink
9. Black
10. Gray
11. White
12. Brown

Try to get the items/clothing/etc. as close to their face as possible, because the space is small and I'll have to zoom in. I'll add your photos and e-mail you the 4x6 files. Here is an example of what will print:

All you have to do is have them printed at your favorite photo lab, cut each one in half, glue them together color sides out, laminate, punch and attach to the ring! You can tie some ribbon to the ring if you'd like as well.

For Christmas I got kind of Calendar happy... I made three of these puppies:

...one for me, one for my mom, and one for my mother-in-law. I used my monthly scrapbook pages of Harvey as the picture for each month. Then I added important holidays and birthdays and had them printed at shutterfly.com. They did a FANTASTIC job, and I would totally recommend them if you're in the market for something like this.

Then I made a CD Case Calendar for Justin's soon-to-be desk/office! (Yay for promotions!)

and the specialized calendar cases STILL haven't arrived. *sigh* It's my fault for not ordering them on Amazon with their 2-day shipping.

I also made Perpetual Calendars for Justin's immediate family:

They can add their family and friend's birthdays, anniversaries, or whatever. I got them printed at scrappingsimply.com (which, by the way fellow digiscrappers, is one of the cheapest places to get your digital scrapbook pages printed) They will pretty much do anything you want. I made them cut all of these out and bind them - I think they turned out great.
