Scrapbooking is an art. It’s personal. It’s emotional. It’s hidden.
What?
Why do we hide our masterpieces in albums? Why not put them out for everyone to enjoy? Today we are sharing two examples of ways you can put your pages “on the wall”.

Love them both! I really want to work on a canvas! Totally cute! I love buying ugly garage sale frames and altering them into something beautiful!

Posted by: Tracey | July 06, 2009 at 11:48 AM
love that wood brothers frame. If i could get my two boys to stand that close without fighing I might try and recreate that. But with them being 19 and 14 I'd proably have to use a big stick like taking they computers or xbox away from them lol.
Posted by: Pamk | July 06, 2009 at 12:39 PM
what great ideas! love the brothers frame.
Posted by: NubiaR1 | July 06, 2009 at 01:00 PM

Those are really fantastic projects. Love them.
Posted by: Jen Stock | July 06, 2009 at 05:24 PM
I never really thought to use scrapbook papers in other ways and this idea is really speaking to me. I'm definitely going to have to break out some frames and make them truly special and personal.
Posted by: Kelly Cavalier | July 06, 2009 at 06:05 PM
Beautiful frames!! I love the second one especially!
Posted by: Niki Estes | July 06, 2009 at 06:36 PM
Nice layout. I love the colors.
Keep the layouts coming!
Posted by: Linda Abel | July 06, 2009 at 07:32 PM
my sister started doing frames and it looks cool. I might have to dip my hand into it
Posted by: kimmie | July 06, 2009 at 07:40 PM
The muted tones of the greys and mustards in "Joy is not in things" and masculine patterns of Wood Brothers Frame has got me thinkin about layouts for the MEN in my life! I will admit - it is usually difficult for me to get inspired to make a "guy" page (because I always want to add glitter and blooms!!) but these papers turn on a bright light in my imagination!!!! ;)
Posted by: *~*Cathy*~* | July 06, 2009 at 07:51 PM
Love how you have the projects with the instructions, so cool!!
Posted by: Kim M | July 06, 2009 at 08:03 PM

Posted by: Heather H. | July 07, 2009 at 12:14 AM
Such great idea! Should not have pass on the canvas when I visited my local shop yesterday! Sigh...now I have to go back there again....
Posted by: Yeong Shong Ng | July 07, 2009 at 12:49 AM
This would be a great gift for the grand parents - lovely idea. And the instructions on the down loads are so good, I really want to try this out!
Posted by: Scoobie(Hilde) | July 07, 2009 at 04:35 AM
Both of these projects are amazing. I love making projects to hang on the wall but after I thought about it I always give them as gifts. I guess I will have to make one for myself. Thanx for sharing.
Posted by: stacy | July 07, 2009 at 06:35 AM
So beautiful. I love the idea of putting our memories on display too, and I especially love the quote. I'm so excited you now have a blog.
Posted by: Bernie | July 07, 2009 at 07:30 AM

Posted by: Kristyn G | July 07, 2009 at 07:45 AM
Both of Amber's frames are fantastic!! What a great way to showcase your favorite pics. I always thought canvas was for painting on. There you go thinking outside of the box... Thanks for the creative ideas. I love MME products!
