I haven't been in the mood to scrapbook for a while and have always loved jigsaw puzzles. My dd and I started one the other night and I just cherish this time with her. She's a freshman in high school and is so busy with school, drill team, social life, etc. I was thrilled when she asked me if I would like to do one with her.

I'm already thinking ahead to Christmas gifts and saw that you could take a photo and turn it into a jigsaw puzzle. Has anybody done that and how did it turn out? My ds just recently got engaged and I took pictures when he proposed. They have one picture that they really love and I was thinking about turning into a puzzle for them, putting it together and then having it framed as a Christmas gift. His fiancee loves anything photo related.

Any input would be greatly appreciated! TIA!

I've often wondered how the photo-to-puzzle things turn out also, so hopefully someone here will have done it and can tell us about the quality.

If you do end up getting the engagement photo turned into a puzzle -- it would be fun for them to put it together themselves, if they like puzzles. Even more fun would be to take all the pieces out of whatever box it comes in (which presumably has the photo image on it). You could get a nice decorative box or something to put the pieces in. Tell them it's a surprise what the image will be and then let them discover it as they put it together.

And now that I type all that out I'm thinking that this will be a great Christmas gift for several people on my list! Especially the surprise part. lol. I'll tell them that I'll send the original box after they discover what it is. hehe

I did this with my dd her senior year in high school. I just left it out on the table and we'd see each other working on it and stop whatever we were doing and help out...it was a nice bonding experience of which she wasn't aware.
