Do you ever look back at pictures and just can't remember your kids being that small. Well, I fell into that frame of mind this weekend. I was looking back at some pictures that I took of the kids only 3 Christmases ago and can't believe how much they have changed. Part of me is glad that they are more independent now, but there is that part of me that misses the toddler in each one of them. I decided that I needed to put those pictures out this year to keep the memories fresh.
I found this frame at Wal-Mart and waited for just the right time to 'embellish it'. My Jingle All the Way framewas a lonely soul on my end table and this frame went just perfectly with it. I added some Riding Hood Red ribbon and a small star from my On Board Trinket Ornaments on opposing corners. I attached the ribbon with a Mini Glue Dot and the star with a Pop-up Glue Dot. The staying power of both is quite impressive.
Opposite my favorite holiday photos, I placed some Riding Hood Red cardstock embellished with my favorite rub-ons from the Old Saint Nick collection. I also decided that some snowflakes were in order, but they were larger than the edge of the frame. No problem....The rub-ons adhered nicely even around the bumpiest of corners.
To finish my frame, I decided that I needed some sentiments. This sentiment is actually half of the original one contained in the Old Saint Nick rub-ons. I simply cut it in half and adhered half to each side of the frame.
My end table is complete! Now to finish the tree....
Be Inspired by Life,
Very nice and a great idea. Lovely way to keep those memories in front of you. It would be cute to hold some of the photots with Santa collected throughout the years too.
