Make an extra special keepsake with your little ones footprints with this adorable footprint card keepsake!
Footprint Piggies Keepsake Card
Welcome friends! I’m so glad you landed on today’s Little Piggies – Footprint Card Keepsake post!
It’s been awhile since I’ve shared something for the grandparents on the Glued To My Crafts Blog – so today I’m putting a stop to that madness!
Today’s piggie themed craft tutorial was actually a spur-of-the-moment idea and I’m so glad I took the time to create it with my son.
Since we are military, we live pretty far away from both our families so footprint crafts like this, is extra special to send to the grandparents.
Sides that – crafts like these are just the best to do at this age anyways. With kids growing so fast, it’s great to create keepsakes to remember those once tiny feet!
So what are you waiting for? Grab your supplies and set up shop to make this “Little Piggies” Footprint Pig Card Keepsake to send to the grandparents today.
Don’t forget to write a special message inside and of course – make one for yourself too & throw it in a scrapbook for safe keeping! Happy crafting , my dear friends!
