Oh, before I started I created a "charger" placemat from a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock. The edges were cut with the scallop punch ... a few snowflakes stamped in Whisper White craft ink and done!
First step, "paint" the chipboard frames by sponging on some Whisper White craft ink ...
Next (after letting the craft ink dry), coat the surface of the chipboard frames with a think layer of Tombo multi-purpose glue and cover with Dazzling Diamonds glitter ...
Then, cover the solid squares of chipboard with pre-cut designer series paper. I used the Tombo glue again ... and roughed up the edges a bit with a sanding block ...
Glue your picture to the back of the glittered frame, and attach to the front of your designer-series paper covered chipboard! Punch a hole in the top (I used a Crop-A-Dile) and add a loop of ribbon ...
The pic above is my Grandpa Lee (mom's side) and below are Grandma Rose & Grandpa Fred (dad Fred's parents) ...
This is me and my dad (Arvis) when I was about 2 ...
And, the whole family crew including a picture of my Grandma Blossom (mom's mom) and my great-grandmother Meri (Grandma Rose's mom) in front of her tinsel Christmas tree ...
Next step, string them on a garland and find a place to hang 'em in my house ...
Cheers!
