Gifts Layout & Thank You Card
 I
usually take photos of my children opening all of their
gifts and decided to save myself time by printing doubles to
use on both a layout and thank you card! A great option (as
I've shown here) is having them printed two wallets
together, which many processing places offer, to allow more
photos on one page.
For the layout, I was
going for easy so I lined them all up in a grid with an
oversized gift embellishment (topped with a half flower for
a fun bow) to keep it from getting too busy. I punched a
tag documenting each gift received and tied them all
together as if on the present.
For the card, I again
went for simplicity since I was making several. One
rectangle of patterned paper, a pop dotted wallet-sized
photo, and a fun speech bubble thank-you was all I needed
for a personalized card.
