FREE photo collage to use as party decor, keepsake, or gift

Today and tomorrow, snapfish is offering up a FREE 8x10 collage poster with FREE shipping.  No kidding!

In about 10 minutes, I made a collage of pics from our recent art camp.  The whole time I was making it, I was pretty sure I was going to end up having to pay for something...but lo and behold, when I put it in my cart and went through the process of adding the coupon code GRANDSHIP and adding my credit card info, the final cost was $0.00!!  Wooo hooo!

Thanks, Collin!

So...how can you use this for party planning?  I can think of a few great ways!

1) You could use this as decor for an upcoming party...you could use recent pictures of the party's Guest of Honor or pics that showcase your theme (maybe pirate images you find online or 90210 characters...just sayin!)

2) If you have had a recent party and have pics sitting on your camera or your desktop, you can make a really original but QUICK keepsake for yourself.  Just upload the pictures and go.  It even has a shuffle function, so you can just keep shuffling until you get the layout you want

3) You can use this to make a special gift for a party you will be attending...use pics of the guest of honor and yourself, or use a dry erase board to tell the GOH a special message

Have fun and if you make one, let me know what you did with it!  But do it quick- it's only good through tomorrow.  You can do it!  Just choose an idea and run with it.  You'll be so glad you did- and it's FREE!!

FREE Gift Idea

Who has a birthday party coming up?  Head over to Vista Print and choose from an assortment of free products, including address labels (for a budding letter writer?), a photo flip book (for a relative?), or a tote bag (for a preschooler?)...you can upload your own photo or use theirs and print them for FREE- all you are responsible for is shipping!

I'm looking for the perfect picture of Squeaker to make a tote bag for her first day of preschool!  These would make great soccer gear bags, dance bags, etc.

Thanks, Collin!  If you haven't joined hip2save....seriously, what are you waiting for?

Art Party Idea: Discovery Paper Recycling Studio

This would be a really fun, hands on party. Personalize a box or expandable file, throw in the stationary the kids have made, and you have favors. It would also make a fun gift and is a great price right now!

Bonus: What a great way to get kids excited about recycling!

Gift Idea: The NEW Monogram

Monogramming has come a loooong way since I was a wee one. The things my friend Rebecca can do on her machine are nothing short of AMAZING.

She made these adorable towels for a little boy having a train party. He loved them. They are green. And I love, love, love giving WAHM's business!

She also made the most adorable art apron for Monkey for Fancy Nancy art camp. Seriously, check her out!
