View Full Version : My $7 fridge project :)

I'm always looking for another way to display my layouts without spending a ton of money...I have always had these little 4"x6" acrylic frames on my fridge that I keep filled with little bragbook pages. As I was wiping down my fridge this morning, I realized that all 6 of them together created a 12x12 frame! (I never had them smashed together like that so I never noticed!) So, I created a 12x12 layout and then cut it up into 6 pieces and one houred the photos...$1.14 later I have a layout on my fridge! I know I could buy 8x10 magnetic acrylic frames and make an 8x8 layout, and I may do that as well....but I thought this would be fun and create a mosaic effect. I got the frames for $1 each (though now I'll need to pick up more of them because of the brag book pages I booted out of these :p )

It didn't photograph very well..it's a bit cuter than it looks!

This layout is a TOTM lift...so the composition was thanks to Kellie (http://www.myscrapbookart.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=165219&ppuser=84), but this layout was heavily influenced by Lizzy's my bff. (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=76283&ppuser=3787)

This looks awesome!!

I have some little LOs printed and put into acrylic frames that I bought at Michael's. I think they're 3x3 square. I love the tiled look of this though :)

Thanks, girls!!!

I made those other magnets. Round magnets from craft dept + round clear pebbles + 1/4" die cut + magazine clippings + E6000 glue. I made them in like 2005. LOL!
