My nephew and niece-in-law were great about documenting and sending pictures of their son, Carter, the first child of that generation in our family. They did this once each month on the calendar day of his birth. I took their effort and started to make a project for Carter’s first birthday party. I decided to make a clock with each month’s pictures near the corresponding number on the clock. I utilized a simple template from Glowforge’s numerous design templates submitted by so many talented folk, "Customizable Elegant Timepiece Desk clock Ver.4. My Glowforge was out for repair. I received the replacement fairly quickly, but it would have taken a miracle to get it out for Carter’s birthday. As Miracle Max says, “You rush a miracle, you get a lousy miracle”. So I didn’t rush. I gave it to the parents a week later. They were happy with it, so I was happy. It was so nice to start with and modify a design rather than create from scratch.
Thank you! The parents helped by the consistency of the them and layout of the photos. I just cropped, faded the background, and used the photocopy filter in Photoshop to accentuate Carter and his little stuffed animal friend…
