Genealogical Photo Gift Tags

I used Fireflies and Jellybeans’ Vintage Photo Gift Tag tutorial to make these cool and personalized tags for my family.

Since I have a love of genealogy, these tags were printed off with scanned images from real vintage photos of my family’s ancestors…

so I didn’t need to turn them black&white or change the contrast… they already look old because they are!

How cool an idea is this!

 

Thanks Fawnda!!!  I loved this idea like you can’t imagine.

  1. Using real family photographs makes these tags worth keeping after the wrapping is gone. A small note on the reverse with the person’s name, approximate photo date and relationship to the recipient would preserve the story as well as the image. Where an identification is uncertain, marking it as tentative would keep a guess from becoming family fact. Sharing this thought on behalf of the GiftVideo team.


  2. Since these tags begin with scans of actual family photographs, I would keep an uncropped master scan and save the tag-sized layout as a separate file. That way the small gift format does not become the only digital version available if a relative later wants a wider crop or a larger print. The same family image could serve both as a keepsake tag and as an archive source. I represent TeslaWrap, an independent project not affiliated with Tesla.
