2. MAKE YOUR OWN GIFTS USING YOUR PHOTOS
Here’s some fun things you can do with your favourite photos (e.g. family photos, individual portraits, family fun, photos of friends, pets, macro images from your garden, favourite holiday snaps, scenic, sunsets, fun moments, etc). Add a favourite Bible verse and turn your photo into…
- Bible posters or postcards
- Bible bookmarks

- Bible stickers
- Christmas cards, gift tags or ornaments
- Jazz up your photos with one of these cool photo editing sites.
- Put your photos into a free printable photo frame, Christmas Nativity photo frame, or make up your own crazy photo frame.
- Using envelopes in your packages? Jazz them up with your favourite family snaps, toddler art, gift wrapping paper, wisps of tinsel; or decorate them using some of the other ideas in that post. Use the ideas in this post to creatively gift wrap, too.
- Turn one of your recipient’s favourite Bible verses into word art in their favourite colours; and check out these cool fonts and colours for inspiration.
- Put your favourite Bible verse (or one of theirs) in a free printable photo frame to give your recipient encouragement all year.
- Make your own family board game all about your family. Draw it by hand or by computer. Get everyone involved as a fun family activity, or make it as a surprise gift. Include your favourite family photos; each person’s favourite Bible verses; familiar and obscure facts about your family or your family’s history. Print, then adhere to strong craft card and laminate (or adhere to craft board and seal it). Make your own counters using tiny family photos. Make it a very special gift and family heirloom to be cherished for future generations. You may also like to make a special handmade decorative storage box to store it in.

3. MAKE YOUR OWN STATIONERY SET
This section is big enough to make a separate posting and I may do that sometime, but for now, simply use the links below or the search box on my home page for each item, then mix and match to make your own free printable stationery set specifically tailored for your recipient. Choose something they will love. Some are ready to go – simply download, print, cut, and assemble. Or use the easy DIY tutorials to make your own and tailor it specifically for your recipient. If you are making your own stationery, add your recipient’s name and a favourite Bible verse to make it a personalised stationery gift. After you have cut and assembled your masterpiece, add a raffia or ribbon bow, then slip into a plastic sleeve and creatively gift wrap, or present in a pretty handmade decorative stationery file or box in your recipient’s favourite colours.
