Frame
What about something simple like 'family memories' or 'special moments'?

What about 'love' over the center frame and more flowers and butterflys over the other two. Or use different fonts and stamp other meaningful words such as 'brothers', 'silly', 'makes me smile', or words that will fit with the boys personalities.

Do you have any alphabet sets? how about stamping 3 different words on each frame, such as:
Live, Love, Laugh
Family, Friends, Fun
Celebrate, Good, Times
Joy, Peace, Love
It is a beautiful gift!!

How about...
Live Well
Laugh Often
Love Much
Each set of words on a different panel? Also, what color do you think? How about Lavendar Lace? I'm also thinking of sponging on some pink and lavender colors...my friends favs.

The frames with multiple words are really popular right now. I like the ideas below:

I used Pure Color Pencils to color on the frame. I also sponged pink, blue, and lavender so it wouldn't be so stark white.
Thanks for the compliments! I can't wait to give it to her!
Happy Thanksgiving!

That is just gorgeous! I love that set from Regionals.....I just did a crayon resist with it at my workshop last weekend and it went over very well indeed!
That frame is beautiful. Lucky friend!

Does anyone know where this frame can be found since SU! no longer sells them?
And while we are on the subect of frames, has anyone seen the license plate frames that say "Ask me about Stampin' Up!"? I just found one at ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...149519795&rd=1
If I was a demo I would consider getting one of these!

Just beautiful...I agree with the others about choosing words or a combo or words and more images. The stampers here are amazing with all the ideas!

I posted it to my gallery. Try this link...
Cheri Rodriguez's Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Thanks so much...you know...I have to tell you that this is the first time that I've made something that started out with my own original thought. The stamp set and basic layout I came up with on my own. I always tell everyone I never have an original thought of my own but I guess I can't say that anymore, huh? Thanks, everyone, for your help in finishing it off!
