First, I took a profile photo of each of us. It can be a little tricky making the kids sit still for a photo so I just snapped away as long as they were looking sideways. But if you can take the pic against a plain white background, that will make your life easier. =)
There are a number of ways you can do the silhouettes including using canvass or cut-outs, but I chose to make mine in photoshop hehe! I just fixed the contrast of the photo until the face was completely black, then just cropped away the background. Here's how it ended up:
If you noticed, I personalized if further by placing our names on the bottom corner. For Vins and myself, I also placed the year. For the kids, I placed their age as a remembrance since they're not going to look like this forever right? =)
Then, I printed them out on cardboard paper (or bond paper will work just fine)...
I purposely made the silhouettes black since I was going to put them in these colorful frames. Cute right? But you can choose to make your silhouettes any color you like. =)
Anyway, here's how they all look like together. Classic, inexpensive, easy to do art! Love it! ;p

Sure Kaye! And I bought the frames at SM, although months ago pa. Last time I was there, they didn't have these exact same ones, although there are other designs naman to choose from. Good luck! =)
