Hi everyone, I found this photo I took on New Years Eve 2006. It's my first Grandson Dylan's first New Year. I handed him the clock & grabbed my ever handy camera just in time to capture that look on his face.
I love the picture & have been trying to come up with something creative & different to do with it for awhile now.
Last night I came up with the idea to make it larger and somehow put the real clock in his hands in the photo, frame it & hang it.
SO here I am, looking for some suggestions on how to make his cute little hands come up off that page & hold the real working clock.
Any Ideas?
The picture itself needs some work too, I lost the original one in a computer crash & just found the only one I printed recently.

Sher,

If you take a look at this thread, all 5 pages, starting on the first page you will get some ideas.
In the very first post there are a couple different very easy tutorials.

How cute, saulgoode!
I haven't decided what I want to do with the picture yet but I will be sure to post the results when I do.
I wish I had known about this group years ago, I had a couple magazines (Woman's World and Inquirer) that wanted to publish the picture but they needed it to be better quality and I had no idea of how to make it better.
