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!

Great wall art. Before I continued to read on I knew exactly what those numbers represented. Love it and all of the pink. Is it you or Kyle with a birthday coming up in September? My son’s Birthday is the 11th of September, the big 18.

This is fantastic!!! A treasure to be passed on! 🙂
Great job, love this. tfs
