My friend often does a clip frame of the year with various photos that show their family life. Eg all children in new school uniform in September. Also after a wonderful holiday in America she created a Montage of that.



Just found this idea for you http://blog.familybringsjoy.com/family-memory-board/

So here's a sneaky peak of what i've made so far on the laser machine, i already have tons of ideas buzzing round my head for Christms along with lots of other ideas....i'm loving this machine (won't love the CC bill though, not very MSE!)



The photo clip frame is a great idea, my Mum used to have one years ago of pics of us as children growing up

Oh they are fantastic PopptToms. Does it take long to cut them and is the machine big?

PoppyToms

The machine is about a metre wide and cuts out of A4 sheets. A sheet of 10 wooden hearts takes a couple of minutes but we're still learning the speeds and things, it's quicker on paper and card.
My hubby was looking through ebay and they sell the laser cut shapes on there so he is on about us possibly selling them. Very MSE

Ooh if you do sell wooden shapes please let us know.

Will do, best bit about it is it isn't all from template, we can cut ANYTHING :j My nephew has already asked for a Legoman lol

sethsgran

Legomen, now that's an excellent idea.
