My tip for today came from the fact that I wanted to display some of Jasmine's baby photos but didn't want to use picture frames. I think I wanted to go in a different direction.
Right after she was born, I took some of my favorite photos, transferred them to the computer and then printed them out on T-Shirt Transfer paper. What I did then was make a simple quilt where I transferred the pictures to. I put a pretty lace border around and then my husband made a shelf and we "wood burned" her name on it.
Now mind you the quilt isn't perfect, I was working with my old sewing machine that would pull on the fabric, I had to pull apart and redo it a number of times, but I'm pretty happy with the result. :)
I'm now working on one for Nicholas too.
I think they will make beautiful treasures to keep and one day they can take it with them. Works for me!!!
That is such a good idea!!
