Seeing how there's a {lil' ole'} Sea between us and our loved ones, I like to display pictures and talk about our family so our girls still feel close to them. This project was simple and turned out super fun.
Seriously...how cool is it to color a picture of Grandma
in her wedding dress?
The princesses kept saying, "Papa looks so handsome."
Want to know how to do it?
Ok, calm down!!! Here's the skinny on making your own Family Coloring Book!
1. Upload your picture on Picnik
2. Click on the CREATE tab
3. Then Click EFFECTS
4. Scroll down to PENCIL SKETCH
5. I play with the RADIUS and STRENGTH till the picture is to my liking then APPLY
6. To apply TEXT click on the....TEXT tab!
7. I prefer the ACTION JACKSON 'cause it makes the letters hollow and you (I mean the kiddos) can color them in!
8. Click SAVE AND SHARE and then click PRINT PHOTO
9. Scroll down and it gives the option of printing from your own printer.
There ya have it....easy cheesy!
Hopefully we'll have some pictures of some new babies soon. 2 sisters and 1 sis-in-law are expecting little ones soon! I love babies!!!!

I absolutely LOVE this idea! SO glad you shared it with us! I can't wait to try it!
That is a great idea for helping MK's remember their families. More hands on than just a photo album.
What an awesome idea! Such a fun way to celebrate family and craftiness! Very clever! Hope you will share your family fun with my Pink Hippo Party @ http://pinkapotamus.blogspot.com/2011/07/pink-hippo-party-37.html

Wow! What an amazing idea! We just had a family reunion of sorts, and it'll be fun to create a bunch of these and send them out to all the families. Thanks for sharing.
Super cute and creative, as always, friend! :)
