Condolence cards

My daughter passed away in January, we have quite a lot of condolence cards that I don't want to throw away. I'm looking for ideas on what to do with them, I know there's the obvious scrapbook but looking for more creative ideas.

So so sorry to hear this. A scrapbook would be a lovely thing to do. I'm hoping someone else will come along with some good ideas. My Dad died at the weekend which is why I'm on this section... I can't imagine the pain you've been / are going through Thanks

Sorry for your loss Flowers
We had a book at my DFs wake which guests could sign and leave a short note for our family. DM also stuck all the cards we received at a later date in the same book as a lovely reminder of someone who was so well loved.

Thank you for your thoughts. I'm not very crafty so was after some inspiration x

Collage? If you feel able to cut them up into shapes to make and then frame a picture. The lovely messages can be incorporated, or could be used either for a different piece, or added to the side or other side of the picture.

Sorry for your sad loss. I saw a beautiful A3 sheet it was a photo montage of all the cards and messages then framed. Take photos of the messages interspersed with photos & create a more lasting artwork at truprint or similar. The messages will be reduced in size but still readable xx
