Here is another card created by Jessica. It uses a beautiful baby photo. The simplicity in the design makes this card so elegant and sweet at the same time. Jessica used a photo she received in a birth announcement and made the card for the parents to display in his nursery.





If you can print your photos at home, there are loads of possibilities for using them on craft projects. The nice thing is that you can print them out in a variety of sizes. Sherry printed out really small photos and used them in charms on this next amazing project.
