I made this photo mat as a gift for my mother-in-law.  It features pictures of all the grandchildren.

Supplies:

  • Patterned paper
  • Prima flowers
  • Chipboard tags
  • Ribbon
  • Distress ink (brown)
  • Brads
  • Photo anchors
  • Rub-ons
  • Sepia tinted photos
  • Chipboard letters

How To:

Treat the entire mat like a sheet of scrapbook paper… you’re allowed to go outside the lines! I began by distressing the mat with the brown ink.  Then I mounted patterned paper behind each frame.  Next I added a photo of each grandchild.  Then I embellished the remaining frames with chipboard tags, flowers, etc.  I also spelled out Grandma’s last name at the top.  Add a frame and you have a lovely gift!
