My little sister Emily... (Yes, my little sister. I don't know how she got taller than me, but it stinks) graduated from college this past weekend. I wanted to do something special so I made her photo balloon tags to celebrate the occasion.

This is a pretty easy project. I just printed out some pictures of my sister on my Kodak All-in-One Inkjet Printer and taped them to balloon strings.

If you want to see step by step instructions go check out the Photo Balloon Tag project page in the Tips & Project's Center.

On that page you will also find downloadable templates for the "Congratulations!" tags that you can print out and add to the balloon with the photo.

It looks cool if you do a bunch of balloons with different pictures and group them together.

There is also a template for Birthdays. I wanted to make one of these and the closest birthday I could think of was mine!

So I made a Happy Birthday Balloon for me. Umm, yeah, I made it for myself. Is that wrong?

I could see extending this idea to all sorts of occasions... anniversaries, showers, Father's Day.

What would you use them for?

Let me know and maybe I can make more templates.

I know a lot of people that are having babies over the next couple months. It's also wedding season too. Here is a great idea for both occasions! Photo seed packets!

A personalized photo seed packet would make a great wedding favor or baby announcement! To make them you download the templates here, add your photo, print them out, make the packet and add seeds. There is even a spot where you can write in information like the wedding date or the baby's name. Oh, and there is space on the back for writing the seed planting instructions.

There are more detailed instructions on the Tips & Projects photo seed packet page.

With seeds inside, they are the gift that keeps on giving!
