I’m so excited to be here on A Little Tipsy today. Michelle has such a fun blog and I always find great ideas and inspiration whenever I stop by.
I am Crystal from Crystal’s Craft Spot. Its my little spot to share my current craft projects, tutorials, recipes, and ideas I want to use in the future. I host a craft challenge every Wednesday and Feature yourself Friday that I would love for you to join. I also have a fun preschool blog called Always something to Learn and a new etsy shop, A.O.kay designs.
I’ve noticed over the years that I quickly forget how little my girls use to be and I wanted a way to always remember when they were born. So I came up with this cute way to display their newborn pictures and all of their birth stats (what mother doesn’t love those two thing?)
Here’s what I came up with.
Here’s how I made it. I bought an 8×10 frame with a matte. (Matte optional but helpful.) My frame is from Walmart for $2.50
I painted the frame white
Then distressed it with sandpaper.
I picked out some scrapbook paper that matches their room. Use the matte as a template and trace around it on the back of your paper. (If you don’t have a matte you can measure and cut one out). Then cut it out.
Here’s your two pieces. Then glue your scrapbook paper on your matte.
I sanded the inside edges of my paper to make it look a little more smooth.
Now choose a picture (both of mine are from the day they came home). You can do this next part in any program you want. I used Microsoft word. I opened a new document and pasted my picture. I cropped and sized it to 5×7. Then insert a text box. Type in your information, change font, size, etc. Then remove fill in box and remove outline. Change color and move it to the spot you want it.
It will look like this
Print your photo on photo paper and cut it out.
Assemble your frame and you now have a beautiful keepsake of you sweet little one.
Here’s a close up of each

The Pumpkin hat, The Pumpkin hat, The Pumpkin hat!!!!!! I can’t get over how cute it is! AND it is gender non-specific, which is a serious bonus as I never find out what I am having – not even for baby no. 5 (due in March). I love the giraffe as well, but I would have to request the traditional orange brown and yellow color scheme of course. So cute!

I love the red and white crochet bow and the adorable beanies! Perfect for keeping my little one’s head warm this winter!
Though the argyle giraffe won a close 2nd, I can’t get past that adorable pumpkin beanie! Wish I’d had one last year for my baby! That’s absolutely my favorite item at AOKay. Thanks for the frame idea!
Those keepsake frames are beautiful, I’m going to try to make those!
My favorite item is the football onesie, with the elephant being averyclose 2nd…

I love the gray brim hat for my son, but he is 3 years old so would probably need a bigger one. The flower clips are cute as well….for a little girl I hope to have someday!
