so beautiful!

Shan said...

I enlarged each child's collage so that I can take a closer look at all the photographs. So so ... real. xo

kelly said...

These are FANTASTIC! Great idea. I also enlarged them to see each photo better. I have to say that all three of your kids are amazingly expressive in photos (and, I'd imagine, in real life too). I'm sure it also says something about the quality of the photographer. Obviously :)

just fantastic.

JoJo said...

That is so great!
Looks like you're already off to a good start in appreciating and enhancing each of your children as an individual instead of a group. Good work, mom!

I'm in love. All over again. I adore how the personality of each child just bursts from each collage.

Kris said...

Love those!

Becca said...

Oooh! Excellent.
I created a page similar for the photobook gifts I do every year for my family. maybe I shall post them to my blog :)

This lovely post makes me want to have 3 little boys. Bad. Like tomorrow. But since that's not possible, I'll just cover my own little guy in kisses!

Seriously, those collages are SO fantastic.

Bekah said...

What great collages!

Your boys have such personality!

Awesome,absolutely awesome!

Krista said...

What wonderful collages!! You are so crafty!

Janet said...

I love these collages. So cute!
I've made 4 of these for different events for D so far (through the Walgreen's website) and love them. I should scan them into my blog to have the memories there as well. Thanks for this inspiration.
