Do you have any idea how many photographs and videos you’ve taken of your kid(s) this year? Lots of us use our cameras + phones to document our children’s lives but how often do we go back and make something special with all those captured moments?

My holiday creative family challenge for you is to pick a few of your favorite photos and/or videos and create an End-of-the-Year Visual Postcard that you can share with your family and friends. To get you started, I’m giving away a brand new song called, “Oh, How You’ve Grown” that I wrote specifically for this creative challenge (there are no catches I promise). I’m just hoping that the song might inspire you to do something fun with all those photos and videos to celebrate this year in the life of your family.

Here’s the one I did as an example. I used iMovie to make this and took most of the video with my phone. If you don’t have iMovie on your computer, there are lots of free slideshow programs you can download from the Internet.

Here’s the free download of the song.

To download it, right-click over the above link (or control-click if you don’t have 2-button mouse) and select “Save Target As…” or “Save Link As…” to save it to your computer. This song will be here till the end of the year & is for non-commercial use only (please).

Ok, now go make something beautiful with all those photos of your kids!
