My mother asked me to make a birthday card using a photo of the person she is going to give the card to. I only have one picture, so I don't want to have to try to redo the card...and my mind is a total blank for ideas. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, my scanner isn't working. DH hasn't fixed it yet, so I'm stuck with just the one copy...although I could go to office max, I guess and have them copy it...hmmmm. Good idea, thank you.
I just made Father's day cards for both the Grandpas with our baby's picture on them. Grandpa is in the picture with him and I just used the Phrase Starters 2 set to stamp "Me & My" on a piece of cardstock that I mounted above the picture with dimensionals and then stamped Grandpa just below the picture. The inside of the card said Happy Father's Day. I also framed the picture with a stamped frame. Simply stamped the paper, cut the inside square out and then placed the picture behind it. Both cards turned out really cute but unfortunately I didn't scan them to upload here. Hope it helps!
Depending on your photograph and the type of flower stamps you have, you can stamp the flower, cut out the center then overlay it on the face so that the face is the center of the flower. You could also do a window type thing were the photograph is on the inside of the card and looking through the window.
Well, I finally figured out what to do! I saw a folded card on Greetings from diy today, so I did that. It made a nice pocket. I actually didn't fold the papers, it was way to bulky. so, I just cut down my front paper so it looked folded. I did mine in black and white. The pocket was black, with black and white eyelets on the corners. Happy birthday stamped in black on white, with a black and white mat. Punched a hole in the corner of the pic, slipped a ribbon thru, put it in the pocket and it was beautiful. Mom already took it, so I can't show it to you, but I'll be making more like that. It was easy, handy for any occasion, and just so darn purdy.
Thanks for all the help!!
