So if you're one of the people coming online looking for ideas on using the baby footprint pictures here are some ideas that might help you create the keepsake, shower invitation etc. that you have in mind.

Firstly it is important that you decide whether you're going to use a picture of a baby foot taken from your own baby or whether any picture will do. If you decide that any picture will do then the internet is a good place to start.

Using Google's image search can help you find the type of picture that you're looking for. However before you use the pictures you find you have to make sure that you are not violating any copyrights. I suggest that you send an email to the webmaster of the site from where you're going to copy the picture.

If you will go for a picture of you own baby's foot then get your digital camera and start shooting. An ordinary camera can also do the trick but you have to have to photo shop create the digital picture for you. It doesn't cost that much but it might take a few days to get it done. I suggest that you borrow a digital camera if you don't own one yourself.

Next thing you'll need is a piece of software called a photo editor. If you don't have one already you can download a lot of free editors on the internet. I suggest that you search on Google for “free photo editor” and you'll have plenty to choose from.

If you're new to editing pictures it might take you a few hours to get it right but it is time well spent. Another idea would to have a friend or family member help you to edit the pictures to get them just as you want them to be.

Once you have the baby footprint picture as you want it you can use it time and time again. Some of the most common items to create are baby keepsakes. This can be baby poems with a picture of the baby's foot and a date. You can do imprints in clay and frame them together with a picture of the foot or you can use it for a unique baby shower invitation.

The possibilities are almost endless. A cure idea that I've heard some people are using is that instead of measuring your child's height you can see the growth through a series of pictures of their feet. With a little creativity this can evolve into a true piece of art.

The ideas above are only a fraction of what you can do. You might already have great ideas of your own. However if you want to use a pic of a baby footprint you first decision has to be what type of picture to choose. Standard or unique.
