I have wedding pictures back...now what?
I got my wedding pictures back about a month ago. I whittled nearly 1000 pictures down to around 200 that I really enjoy looking at. The first order of business was to get my favorite printed on stretched canvas to hang above out bed (this is on order), and to make a book at shutterfly.com to use as a coffee table book. (I actually have 6 ordered because I think they will make great mom/grandma gifts)
Now, I am at a loss as to what to do with my lovely (and expensive) pictures! I know I can slap them in a frame and hang them on the wall...and I do intend to do this....but I dont want to wall paper my walls with wedding pictures.
I am considering investing in a digital picture frame. But havent gotten myself to bite the bullet and do that yet.
Does anyone here have any creative ideas for wedding pictures? Im a pretty crafty person...but I guess Im pretty stumped here....I want to keep them classy. I have lots of black and whites and the wedding was pretty formal (DH was in his marine dress blues and the ceremony was in a very formal catholic cathedral style church)
Any ideas would be appreciated

You can make:
coasters
magnets
jewelry - make the pics tiny first!
tablecloth - mod podge a shower curtain or vinyl and "extras"
desk mat
Still reflecting...will post more if I come up with more! Good Luck! Oh - and PIP anything crafty you end up doing!
I made a gift for my parents using a wedding picture (3 copies of same one) and one of those layered picture frames (can't find a picture online, but I got it at a craft store...it's thicker than usual picture frames and has multiple frames of glass on the inside). In the picture holder in the back, I put the entire 5x7 picture (them in the park with a tree). In the picture holder in front of that, I put a cut version of the picture (cut out the tree and them and got rid of the background). In the front picture holder, I just put in the cut out of them.
I hope this makes sense - I did this a while ago and can't remember where I saw the idea. Cutting the pictures and layering them kind of made a 3-d effect.
Thanks for the great ideas ladies! Ive never really done a scrap book before (though I probably will start to get into it when I have kids) so maybe Ill take my first crack at it.
The 3D picture is a good idea also!
I actually was thinking about coasters the other day. It would be cool if I could get some thirsty stone ones made. The table cloth is another interesting idea! hmmmm
Keep the good ideas comming...When I make something I will be sure to PIP!
