I have made these all occasion cards using little photos trimmed out of the indexes which come with the photo calendars I get from my sister every year for Christmas!! She prints all twelve of the photos along with her information on a 4" x 6" photo and includes it in the calendar packages she gives me. I have been saving them in hopes of find a good way to use them. They trimmed out at 1.25" square so I decided to make some small cards with them. In order to stream line the creative process I decided to use the same sketch for all of them. I started with a small white card for all of them which fit nicely in envelopes from my stash. Next, I trimmed some of the same cardstock into 1.75" strips and tore them apart at about 2.5". I embossed them all with the Scripty 3D embossing folder (SU). I glued a little photo to the top of the strip and then tied a coordinating piece of fiber below it. Then I dug through my scraps of decorative paper to find backgrounds for my cards. Once I had them matched up I glued the backgrounds to my card fronts and then added the little focal elements with 3D foam tape. These ones all have floral elements in a variety of colours. I have a little stash of these little photos on my desk so there will be a few more show up in the next while. Therese
