on 11/22/2005 I had so many pictures of my daughter I didn't know what to do. So I decided to make a picture collage of her, her family, pets, friends, and holidays.
1. On a piece of card board to fit a picture frame, tape on a sheet of black construction paper.
2. Go through your photos and decide what you want to put into the collage.
3. Cut around people, pets, etc. and randomly tape onto paper. Besure to slightly over lap pictures so hardly no black is showing.
4. Use double sided tape, it works really good.

***It would also be a good present to family like grandparents & parents.
***Also do the same as above except use a photo album, cutting construction paper to fit in sleeves. Use captions is cute to do.
Hope yours works out as good as mine did.

Take a group of photos, pick out size of frame
