  1. I remember these! :) I might just make the souvenior picture frame; I have been looking for a baby picture frame, for a gift; but haven't been able to find one. My Aunt taught me how to make picture frames (and photo albums) out of fabric, back when I was a teenager. I haven't made one in years, though.

    1. Hi Tina, I think a fabric picture frame is a good idea, I made scrap denim picture frames as christening souvenir and they liked it ;)
