I printed these on card stock so they would hold their shape. I wanted the paper strips to be shorter than the others I had done in previous ornaments, so I cut them about 2” long and created short, adorable little curls. I then shrunk it down so each set of footprints measured about ⅜”. I scanned a little card I have of her footprints and ran it through my photo editing software to create a soft pink sepia look to it. Our little girl, Julia Anne, was stillborn at 36 weeks, so this ornament is my way of remembering her and including her in our holiday celebrations. This next ornament would be a lovely way to acknowledge any new addition to the family. Our symbol for Kathryn is blue hearts, so I decided to add these adorable little blue heart gems and blue pearls for an extra personal touch. Then I copied the scaled-down heart to create a full sheet of hearts, which I printed on card stock and cut out to create this ornament. I ran the drawing through my photo editing software and scaled it down to about 1”. She drew this for her mom just two days before she passed away, so this heart is a treasure. Next, I made this sweet ornament using a little heart drawing made by my niece, Kathryn. I printed it and cut it into strips, which I curled to create this lovely, timeless ornament. My sister sent me a scanned sheet of paper with Jonathan’s handwriting on it. The first is this ornament for my nephew, Jonathan. I made several ornaments in memory of loved ones who have passed on. This would be a fabulous gift for just about anyone on your list. You could do this for any place special to you - a favorite travel destination or place that holds special meaning. I was born and raised in Southern California, so I cut out a map of the west coast and turned it into an ornament. I made this fun map ornament by cutting strips from a map book. I wanted to share an easy way to create “memory ornaments.” These ornaments are perfect for remembering places you have traveled, grandma’s recipes, a favorite musical number, and for remembering and including those who have passed away in our current holiday traditions. ![]() February: DIY Splatter Paint Glass Ornaments.November: Granny Rocker Christmas Ornaments.August: Paper Memory Christmas Ornaments.Christmas Ornament Tutorial Series Posts: Today is the second installment of my monthly ornament series, and I’m really excited about the ornaments I am sharing with you today. ![]() Hello, friends!
