GIFT IDEA FRAMED

My son was recently invited to a friend's 13th birthday and not knowing what to get but still preferring the idea of presenting a gift, I decided to snap some photos of the boy during his soccer match - who thankfully plays in my son's team.

Here are a few tips on how I put it together.
  • I purchased a frame from our local discount shop and went to work at setting up a layout.

  • I used a soccer ball stamp to create the background plus little soccer embellishments which I made to add an extra element to the page.

  • Using my home computer I enhanced the photos by making the background black and white and only keeping the subject in colour. I did this because the opponents were in bright blue and yellow which didn't compliment our team's colour.

  • Using my own printer software I was able to select different sized photos which allowed me to also make them small enough to give the appearance of a negative strip.

  • The result was a very unique gift which was received with delight.
