These were made by my mom for my nephew's nursery. I tell her she should be selling these on Etsy!
It's also no secret that silhouettes can be pricey, if professionally done. Always on the lookout for free a bargain, I found this link on Caroline Simas' blog Designing for the Soul. You can make a free silhouette of your "virtual" family.
After some copying/pasting/cropping, I came up with this one. My fun and free family silhouette:
I really like the way this looks on our shelves mixed in with other black & white family photographs. I also used this site to make some cute gift cards for the kids:
And speaking of my blog friend Caroline Simas', we have two winners from the Multiple Blessings give away.
The winner of the tea towel is Kirsten Sue of 6th Street Design School.
And, the Happeez clips go to Suzie Button of Suzie Button Creations.
Winners were drawn randomly from 21 eligible comments. Thanks for participating!
Kirsten and Suzie, please email me with your contact info. Many thanks to Caroline for this great give away and for sharing her art studio with us.
Oh my goodness, your mother is talented! What a beautiful collection. I also love your "family". It looks great on your shelf.

She did a great silhouette of my dachshund (complete with antlers!) that I ended up using for my Christmas card. Best of all, she gives you the pdf, which you can reprint as much as you like, in whatever size you like!
Such a cute picture of your family and I love those cards for your kids- really great idea!
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed, I am going to have to try this!
ReplyDeleteThose silhouettes are adorable! You and your mom are quite the talented duo.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a jewelry giveaway this week - stop by to enter!

ReplyDeleteThankyou for such good resources. I am doing my playroom for the kiddos and I am going to use their silhouettes in there. I know about some of the resources but not all of them. I have a file just for silhouettes, I am a little obsessed with them. Great post!! Kathysue
ReplyDeleteOkay that is adorable. THAT DOES IT! I am making some silhouettes! I keep thinking about it and then I do nothing but you have inspired me! Marija
ReplyDeleteI had plans to make my own sillouettes with photographs printed out and colored with black marker (an idea from LGN maybe?), but this looks waaaay better!
