My Holiday ConfessionHoliday Photo Cards Redo

My Holiday Confession

• I have a confession to make. Friends and family…I have been cutting up your holiday photo cards for years.

• Don’t get me wrong, I love getting cards from near and far showing me how much the family has grown or trips you have taken but they used to end up in a pile.

• I have created something over the past few seasons which I think, although I’m taking a scissor to your work, actually gives your hard work and time the respect it deserves.

• Your Holiday Photo Cards

How to do: Step 1

• Cut out your fabric and wrap your piece of foam board. Similar to wrapping a gift – which this time of year you have become a pro at.

• Keep fabric tight across front. Glue into place on back.

Photo Card Cut Up

• As your mail carrier delivers your daily supply of cards, cut each one out, obviously keeping your loved ones visible.

• Just by gluing each of them together, one next to each other you begin to develop a freeform collage. And we always have those friends that send last minute. No problem, just keep adding onto. You don’t need any special backing, by creating a collage the photos become their own surface.

• Once you have compiled all your photos, place on top of your fabric covered foam board and pin the top corners to hold.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

• Even though I have cut up your cards, I keep this display out to show to others that come to visit during the holidays and show them how beautiful all these cards truly are.

• With the array of home photo editing services, cards are just getting more beautiful year after year and they deserve a honored place in my home.

• When the season is over, this collage gets packed away and I get to enjoy them next year while waiting for my new supply!
