What to do with all those paintings....

I've only got one in full time painting production mode at the moment but once her sister joins in I think we are going to have to move house (again) to accommodate the results! We have a "gallery"   I'm not good at changing the pictures over but there are some good ideas I've found to make that easier on my "what do to with all those paintings" board on Pinterest. Apart from displaying their paintings and drawings the other good use I've found is to turn them into cards, thank you cards, birthday cards etc

The painting/drawing needs to be on reasonably thick paper but sugar paper works fine (these were done on lining paper) These were made from a big painting we did on paper on the floor and just cut up. You could add drawing, stickers, glitter, collage, appropriate number for someone's birthday etc. You could also cut a squre from a painting and glue it onto folded card for a greetings card or just flat card to turn it into a post card.

You could also cut shapes out of a painting or drawing and arrange them onto another piece of paper or card to make a greetings card or a picture to be framed. This is a nice parent child collaboration or something an older sibling could do.

The small hearts were cut from tin foil that M had painted onto. She had a go at her own design as well.

 See Here is another nice example of  this idea.

Any other good ideas for what to do with all those paintings would be very welcome!
