Frames like this one can be found at large craft stores like Joann's, Michael's, or Hobby Lobby. They are so easy to make and who doesn't love to receive photos for gifts?

Instructions: To "dress it up" simply add die cut tags, a flower and ribbon from the June Classy Pak and some coordinating buttons from your stash. I used glue dots to adhere the embellishments to the frame. I also matted the smaller photo with patterned paper from the Pak.

My mother-in-law loved this heartfelt gift and I am sure your friends and family members would love to receive a personalized frame from you, too!
