Miniature Polaroid Photo Magnet Project

I had way too much fun with these and…. I may be officially addicted.  After stumbling across a post about miniature magnets, I knew I had to turn some of my stunning photos of my daughter Juliet into teensy, fun Polaroid photo magnets! Thanks to The Velvet Trunk for the awesome photos, by the way.

Three of my favorite completed magnets

Step 1: Pick the Photos

First, my husband and I picked out our favorite photos of our daughter from birth until now.  (We ended up with over 40 of them.)

Step 2: Make them “Polaroids”

Then we scanned a Polaroid photo, cleaned it up a bit, sized it down to 1.5 in. wide and plugged in our photos in Photoshop, making several sheets of them and having them printed as 8x10s.

My greatest creation by far… Juliet Noelle!

On December 2, Nate and I welcomed our first child, Juliet Noelle into the world!  She took her time getting here (39 hours of labor), but I can say that she’s incredible and beautiful, and makes us smile every day.  I didn’t know how much I could love a little munchkin who I’ve only known for a few weeks!

So, maybe I can’t take credit on creating her, but I certainly made a great incubator for 9 months. *laughing*

The maternity photos below were taken by Chris & Adrienne Scott about 2 weeks before Juliet was born:

Joe Hendricks took these amazing newborn photos of Juliet when she was just 5 days old!  There are many more, but these are some of my favorites:

Juliet was born 6 pounds, 13 ounces, and 20 inches long.  If you’d like to read her birth story, please email me, since there are far too many details to post online. Of course, she will be drawn and painted all of her life. I’ve already started my first of many drawings of her!

Photos of my Home

These photos of my home and studio were taken about a month after I moved in August of 2007. I love my home, and my studio provides an amazing workspace where I can be organized and creative!
