These are my first attempts at making name frames. They are Christmas gifts for my daughter's teachers.
The white border is one of those "mistakes" that turns out to be a good thing! I made the black frame piece without realizing that I needed the depth of a photo mat. So I thought "That's OK, I can just adhere it to the mat." Well I cut a 5x7 opening not thinking that the opening in the photo mat would be slightly smaller than the actual 5x7 picture size. But I love how the white border looks. I had posted in the Demo Chit Chat forum looking for creative feedback...someone in the forum actually suggested I add a white border...and I did...by accident!

Wow! This is my maiden name, so I was very surprised & excited to see this sweet name frame. My stepmom (Mrs. Cady) was also a teacher so I'll have to send a copy of this to her. TFS!
