Christmas gift idea using memories and photos?
I want to make my best friend something I can put together with many of our inside jokes written on it, but I can't really think of anything. First I though of making a scrapbook with pictures on some pages and memories and inside jokes written on a page of another, but I feel like this will look tacky or a little kiddish. Any ideas?
I think my all time favorite gift was a photo collage (poster size) made and framed by my daughter when she was about 16-17. She gathered photos from throughout my life then had each of her siblings and her Dad (my husband) write "something special from their heart" on a colored piece of paper. She incorporated the photos (probably near 100) and notes into the collage. I cried (happy tears) for a few hours that day. I have it proudly displayed in my home office where I still look at it often. I'm hoping she'll make me another one someday updating my life in photos.
You could incorporate the same idea into photos of you and your friend (including other friends, trips, pets, etc.) and then write little notes with "memories", "inside jokes", etc. and scatter them throughout the collage.
Good Luck!
