Modern Family Heirlooms by Sweet Carolina Designs {Giveaway}

During the silhouette craze of 2009 in our household, I came upon Sweet Carolina Designs and their cute-as-can-be custom silhouette portraits. Did you know that even a ultrasound image can be turned into this old-fashioned art form?
Carrie creates silhouettes from your photos, and does everything from individual portraits with names under them
to family groupings.
I'd love to get one of these (including our cat!) for our living room. Frankly, I'm just too tired and not skilled enough with a pen knife to even think of creating one myself. These would certainly make a great family heirloom, and they'd look great in both traditional and modern decor.

Sweet Carolina Designs is kindly offering...
A 10"x20" Custom Family Silhouette Portrait!

I love the woodgrain silhouette... so cool! And I'd love to have the four of us surrounded by our kitties.

the Ken and Barbie inspired silhouettes are really cute...I'd have me, my husband, our two girls, and our exchange student on it.

I'd like the Custom Fingerprint Family Tree (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38990520). It is a neat idea and I know people would have fun filling in the branches!

For our portrait: Husband, Wife, Daughter, Son 1, Son 2, Son 3, and Son 4. Can it fit seven people?!

myrisaroo8404 said...

I like the fingerprint family tree.
I would have my two daughters in the portrait.

moushka said...

Myself, hubby and 2 daughters.

I like the Custom Children's Silhouette Ceramic Art Piece.

Shana said...

The silhouette of the jumping child was a cool idea. I would have this done as a gift for my husband, with him, me, his two sons and our daughter included. I don't think there'd be room for the three cats!

makeetis said...

I like the look closely. I love how there are words so tiny that you have to look for them. I would put my husband, myself and our 3 kids.

clarissa@neiding.com said...

i like the single figure ones with the names. I would love to have one for everyone in the household to put above each bed.

On this I would probably just get my kids done. I think everyone in the family would be too many since there are 5 children

My favorite item is the custom ultrasound (great shower gift idea!). A family portrait would include myself and my spouse, our two kids, and our cat and dog.

I like the Custom Family Silhouette Portrait.
Growing up my parents had a silhouette done of the family for our Christmas Card (I am one of 7 siblings --so there were 9 on the card).
I would give this as a gift to my sister so that she could have one of her children.

katyshops said...

Seriously? I have to pick a favorite? I love the Destination one...but couldn't think of enough places to put on it. The sonogram is awesome...but my kids are big now. Hmmm. I really do love the family one. I would put myself, hubby, 2 daughters and 2 dogs. Of course, I would have to put the girls hair up in cute little flippy pony-tails...how cute would that be?
