Default Help me find this gift idea - Please!!!

Hi Wise Ladies... and Men
I am in need of help to find a craft idea that was posted either on this site or another blog, that was linked/suggested from someone here.

It is a do-it-yourself gift idea and I'll describe it the best I can.

The end result is a picture frame with handprint cut outs. The one in the blog I saw was a black picture frame with red and even white mats. Then the blogger cut out handprints of her children and I believe cut out handprints of herself and her husband. Then somehow she put them together in the frame and it made a great keepsake to show how small her kids' hands are compared to the parents. (there is no paint for the handprints - just the hand cut-outs)

I'm reading this and really hoping someone has some idea of what I'm talking about. I've been trying to do some google searches, but not coming up with it. I would really like to give it to my dh for Father's Day and figured I better start now if I'm going to get my dc to sit still for me to trace their hands.

Any ideas would be very helpful!

That's really cool. I'd like to do that for our new home. Also, with the coordinating scrapbook paper... family rules http://pinterest.com/pin/189643834278386356/

A friend of mine pinned this on Pinterest last night so I knew actually what you were talking about ; ) I am thinking about making it to but more for me than DH. I think I will do it on my boys' birthdays...they are 2 yrs and 2 wks apart and will be turning 1 and 3 this year.
