Grandma’s Mat

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

How to:

1
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.

2
Then I mounted patterned paper behind each frame.

3
Next I added a photo of each grandchild.

4
Finally, I embellished the remaining frames with chipboard tags, flowers, etc.  I also spelled out Grandma’s last name at the top.

5
Add a frame and you have a lovely gift!
