For my project I made a frame for my daughters best friend. Her baby shower is actually today. The frame has slits in the back so each month she can insert a picture of the baby. I wanted it to look nice until each month had a picture so I cut out different images from several Cricut cartridges to decorate each photo slot.

I designed the mat on My Cameo. It has twelve 2" X 2" squares for pictures and one 4 1/2" X 4 1/2" square in the middle.

This is the mat after it was cut:

I glued a piece of patterned paper to the back of the mat which had slots cut out above where each 2" X 2" square is, so that a photo can be inserted later. Then I went about cutting different designs and glueing them onto the patterned paper, so it looks cute even if a photo hasn't been placed in it yet.

I inserted the completed mat into a purchased frame from JoAnn's. Then I decorated the frame with cuts from Silhoutte Studio files using my Cameo.

I hope she likes it!

Supplies used: frame - JoAnn's; cardstock - white, 3 shades of pink, yellow, green; patterned papers by American Crafts; New Arrival, Storybook, Sweethearts, and Once Upon A Princess Cricut cartridges; Silhouette Studio Cut files; pearls - American Crafts; brads - Doodlebug and Making Memories; button - Making Memories; twine - my stash.
