Framed Art
I love Framed Art I can hang on my walls– It makes me happy…
I’ve had this frame with included mat for quite some time, and had this project in mind when I bought it…I just have not gotten around to making it! So, I finally dug out the frame, and decided to get ‘er done!
I am glad I waited, because I hadn’t pictured it hanging in my craft room before- and now that is definitely where it will be going!
Perfect colors for my craft room right?
It’s a simple project really- it’s just a matter of lining up the numbers as nicely as you can and remembering that Imperfect is Perfect! 
These numbers represent the dates of our family’s birthdays and the middle set of numbers represents our Wedding Anniversary.
Looking at it–it looks like a collage of numbers, but knowing how important and life changing these numbers really were- makes this piece one of the best art pieces in my entire home.
To make this project, I used my E2, and the Cricut American Alphabet that is on the E2- I cut them out at 2 inches and then after marking a 8.5×11 sheet of cardstock with the mat corners, I centered the numbers as best as I could, while talking on the phone…(shhh…)
My friend Justina, mentioned that she had too many kids to do this–but no worries- you could make your numbers a little smaller or you could divide up the numbers into 2 different frames. Then you could put a family picture in between the two sets of numbers!
That’s it for today! I hope you all have a FANTASTIC MONDAY!

I love this!!!! I would love to do it but I have too many kids to make this.=)
What a cute idea. I’m with Justina. I have too many to make this as well. We have 8 boys and one 1 daughter.
This is great, and while I have more dates, like that I could make two matching frames and add some photos or other embellishments to fill in any gaps or spaces! Great idea!
how special – you could title it also as “it all began with a kiss…. I saw this on a pic frame and thought how precious!!
I would have never thought of doing a frame like this.. thanks for an idea!
