A few months ago, I bought a frame from Kohl's. It is a black frame with four spots for 3x5 pictures. Since I have four kids, I assumed I'd take some new pictures of them and display them in this frame - you know, one spot per kid. And the price was right - at zero dollars. I used a coupon which was for $10 off a $10 dollar purchase. The frame was on sale for $8.99 (I threw in a pair of socks to make up the difference) and I had myself a free frame. Now all I had to do was take some new pictures of the kids...
So, a couple of months later, when I still hadn't filled this frame with kid photos, I decided to try something else. I went to Michael's and bought scrapbook paper. I found a couple of individual sheets that would be perfect in my daughters' room. Then I bought a huge book (on sale at $9.99):
After reviewing them, I chose my favorite four:
Then, I simply cut out 3x5 rectangles and taped them in place. So I ended up with this:
To hang it up (easily), I used Command Strips:
And up it went:
As you can see from the picture, the room has beige and blue walls - which is where I got the inspiration for the scrapbook paper. I tried to tie the blue in to other areas of the room. It's a really fun look, don't you think?
