So I took monthly 0-12 month photos of the LO but now what should I do with them? I'm not very skilled in these matters but managed to put together a collage using Picasa but that isn't very exciting. Anybody have any cool ideas?
-
maybe a shutterfly photobook or a 2012 calendar? sorry, not too creative here.

I think they sell frames with 12 slots for these kinds of pics... you could print them out, put in said frame, and hang in her room?
Print the collage and place in baby book?
print collage and place it in the back of a shadow box and fill it with a few small items from her first year?
or maybe go to michaels and browse the aisles for ideas?
sorry I'm not so creative either!!

I'm putting this project together for my MIL. It's a Photo Monogram. It looks super easy. The only hard part is finding the letter! It took me 2 weeks of stalking Joann.com to get the right letter! lol.

@abbydabbydoodlebug: I was going to suggest a monogram as well. Gonna make one for my LO too.

Thanks everyone! I want to do all of these! I probably haven't done anything as crafty as the monogram project since Arts & Crafts in junior high but I am willing to give it shot.

Is this for yourself, a gift or for babies room?
I like the idea of a calendar, I saw this option when I was ordering stuff from Vistaprint fro my wedding.
You could make a set of 12-13 coasters using tiles and mod-podge.
Print the collage on a t-shirt.
Make Christmas ornaments.
Mod-podge a frame with the 0-11 month photos and put the 1 year in the frame, or do the reverse and have the birth photo in the centre instead. -
The calendar is a cute idea but I really like the idea of putting the pictures in a frame of some sort and hanging it on the wall. The craft stores near me - Michaels, AC Moore, Archivers, sell these frames that have 12 slots in them. Some people fill them with craft paper and pictures and cute stickers. I think they would look fantastic with all 12 baby photos in them!

@Mrs. D: Xmas ornaments! Brilliant idea!

I do think a shutterfly or Adorama book is a great idea in addition to something else (more creative)
Have you looked on Pinterest at all? There are a lot of ideas on this search...
