I made a homemade BD card for my brother Bill–about 5 folded-over cardstock 4×6″ cards with photos on every page–but my piece de resistance is the envelope. I have covered with it photographs of Bill taken at different times in his life (I just make paper copies, not with photo paper, because it glues on better)–also made a BD card for a niece whose BD is in July too and I put a photograph/on paper photo of her dad on his 14th or 15th bd on the back of the envelope. I enclosed a bunch of pictures of her with her dad but printed those all on photo paper (she & her sister did not grow up with their father) -
I know she is going to love it. My efforts are amatuerish, artsy-crafty stuff is not my forte (give me a stove in the kitchen anyday) but I have really pushed myself putting these together.
But nothing compares to your BD card last year!!
love
Sandy
