Every year I try to make special ornaments for Shannon, Bridget & Jessie. They lived next to us in NY. How I loved watching them grow. I miss them a lot and try to stay close.
I was a bit late with my Christmas inspiration and these didn’t get mailed until after the holiday. Just as I popped the package into the mail slot I realized I hadn’t photographed them! Ahhhh!
Luckily they were up for a photo shoot. Their mom, Mary Jo, is super. She not only had the kids hold them but also provided closed ups 🙂 I played with photoshop and made a collage.
The ornaments are 3″ squares of 300 CP watercolor paper. I used acrylic inks and sprayed them with UV spray. To see a larger view, please click on the image.
Hi Pam! The kids were thrilled to see themselves on your web site this morning–very cool! You made their day again! You're the best!

Thanks, Laure. Layerd look compliments of blurring the background in photoshop 🙂
Too cool!! Love the layered look of the ornaments in the photos!
Thanks, Elizabeth & Lisa! It was such fun to create these ornaments. The kids were so tickled they wanted them hung on the refrigerator so they can see them when they eat dinners 🙂
How cool! I think it adds a lot to see the recipients, too. The ornaments turned out beautifully, you are so talented!
How cool that you customized the ornaments for each of the kids interests. They must have loved them!
