Smile 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 )

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, but this layout was heavily influenced by Lizzy's my bff.

Lena, I'm in agreement with everyone--this is a fabulous idea! Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us....I definitely am going to "lift" your idea if you don't mind....

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
