When this Magenta Chipboard Tree arrived in my DT package, I was excited because I had an idea on how to use it other than for a family layout.
Here I used it to document my daughter's primary school portraits from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 3 for the Magenta blog. I started by shrunking the wallet sized photos down so that they would fit into the cute little oval picture frames. Next, I painted the tree trunk and picture frames. Then I glued up the front of the tree and adhered it to the back of my desired paper. After carefully cutting it out with an exacto knife, I inked the edges to make it pop. I prepared my background page and then positioned my tree and title. Add the grades and years et voila! A fun way to use up those school pictures.
