What to Do with all Those Photos on your Cell Phone? More Ideas. . .

I'm always looking for ideas for what to do with all those photos on my cell phone. I've done blogs about it before, and there are some great ideas out there. This week I found creating luminarias with your photos. I like this idea for my fall decor, and also to send these photos to my mother-in-law and my grands' great-grandmother. I think she will enjoy them as well. 
I decided on an autumn theme. I like to send her a fall-inspired care package. And she loves photos of her grands. What grandparent doesn't? So here is my step-by-step routine:
Picture
Choose your fall-themed photos from your phone. Your kids have sent you pictures from the pumpkin patch and Halloween photos. Use those.
Picture
Make a trip to the craft store or the office supply store and buy some vellum.
Picture
Pick out a candle holder at the craft store.
Picture
Print out your chosen pictures onto that vellum.
Picture
Glue those photos that your printed on vellum onto your clear glass candle holder using Mod Podge. For this Halloween-inspired craft, the spookier the photo the better.

And that's it! Cut out those photos that you ran off on the vellum, and using Mod Podge, glue them on the glass candle holder. Easy as can be. Because they are Halloween photos, I think the luminaria idea is a good one, and lends itself to these spooky Halloween photos. 
But wait! There's more! My grandson and I have been using those cell phone photos for note cards. They are a great use for them as well. My daughter-in-law used to use them for note cards and thank-you cards. I've started using those photos as well. As I said, my grands' great-grandmother always loves photos and notes and letters, so we combined those two ideas. Perhaps you can too. Here are two examples:

Thank you cards, note cards, miscellaneous cards, oh my!
And there you have it, grandparents! Ideas using all those photos on your phone. We've got to use them for something! Note cards and lumininarias are great ideas. If you have other ideas, please send them to me. I love to share. That's what it's all about.......live and learn and pass it on. 

​Until next week!
