Journaled mat frame
By swelldesigner
Looking for a quick and easy (and cheap) gift idea that's also personal and sincere? Whip up one of these journaled mats in a flash. You simply print out journaled writing (I edited mine in Photoshop) onto label stock, cut, and adhere to a regular mat. No more boring mats and it's an instant conversation piece! For complete instructions (with step by steps), visit my blog.
Here's some other ideas to try along these lines:
– Use children's drawings or handwriting for a special mat for mom.
– Scan in love letters and frame a picture of a couple. This could also make a sweet anniversary gift!
–
Document an era of time in someone's life! For example, scan in
newspaper pictures and articles about them during their childhood. Put
a picture of them in that frame from that time period!
– Scan in family recipes and feature a favorite pic of you and a loved one cooking in the kitchen.
