Teaching and guiding scrap-booking to young ones. Then the end result being something that they and myself are proud of, is worth the teaching and effort, to see that youth with a smile of accomplish on there face. Then the sense of pride when they show others, and receive praise for there work. It just gives you satisfaction that you have helped someone make an achievement in a otherwise difficult life.
We started by taking a side on photo. Making sure there head is straight up and there ponytail or hair is neat. I went to the photo shop and got a size 5 by 7 developed. We came home and then cut out the shape, being careful around the mouth nose and eyes, to make sure you get the shape and it is not just a flat face. We then traced it onto black card stock, and carefully cut out out the silhouette. That gives you the basis of a silhouette. Traditionally, it is just the silhouette onto a background, but to make it more interesting for a child, we decided to put a name plaque at the bottom. We then placed it into a frame and the child signed the back of the frame. I insist on doing this as it gives them a sense of accomplishment and they can look back in the future.
