silhouette art

I love this idea on Crafty Nest.  They post the directions on their blog, but basically you find a photo of your child (or another loved one) in profile, blow it up to about an 8x10 and then trace the silhouette out in decorative paper and glue onto cardstock.  They used scrapbooking paper, but you could also use wrapping paper or any other decorative paper.  

I think it would be great to use a piece of your child's artwork and instead of cutting them into animal shapes like Sarah Jane's below, you could do their silhouette instead.
