Don’t Throw ‘Em! Love ‘Em
Got Milk Cards?
Each year I reuse family photos from the cards that were so warmly given to us during the Christmas season.
During the rest of the year I collect freebie magnets where ever I go to make photo magnets.
State Fair, Dental Office, Pizza Place, you get the idea…
Glue the text side of the magnet to the back of the photo card. (To line it up, just hold the card and magnet up to a light source).
Use a scissor to cut around the magnet. For larger photos, cut out entire image, glue two magnets on the back (toward the top and bottom).
Now, our friends and family will be on our minds all year long!
Love,
Jess
P.S. Here is another sneak peek for my advent calendar. Save your old greeting cards too!
That is such a great idea! I really have to do this b/c I never quite know what to do with all the cards after Christmas is over (I hate to have to throw away any of them, but I also dread clutter) Thanks for sharing!
awww, that is such a cute idea! thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year!

So great!
I love this idea! Too bad Gus spilled a glass of water all over most of our cards right before leaving for SD. Needless to say, they didn’t survive. I’m going to start saving magnets for next year, though.
