Photo Albums and Picture Frames

Photo albums and picture frames make lovely gifts for travelers too, or for new grandparents! Make or buy a tote bag, or buy an organizer craft box, and include some scissors that cut decorative edges, a corner rounder, pretty scrapbook papers, decorative stickers, cutouts that fit the occasion, and some photo corner stickers – all available at scrapbooking stores, hobby or craft stores, or discount stores like Wal-Mart. Buy plain wooden frames and decorate them to suit the recipient. Glue shells around the frame to hold a picture from a seashore holiday; glue letters from a Scrabble game to spell the recipient’s name on the frame or glue rose petals or dried flowers around the frame for a romantic touch. Perhaps they have gone on a camping trip so you might like to glue pinecones and woodsy items like moss to the frame. You can spray paint the frame any color you like and use your imagination when it comes to decorating it. I have seen buttons, crayons, baby rattles, so many things used on frames.
