Acrylic Frame for my Mom for Mother's Day

Here is a 3-piece frame that I decorated with pictures of my daughter for my mother for Mother's Day.  I thought it came out really cute...I almost didn't want to give it away!  This was my first time working with acrylic and I was really happy with the way it turned out...I wish I had bought more of the frames!  Both sides are decorated and it is made to stand up (I couldn't get a good picture that way!).

Products Used:
ClearScraps Tri-Fold Acrylic Scallop Frame
Fancy Pants "Little Sprouts" Mega Kit
Martha Stewart's punch around the page -"Ribbon Loop"
Prima Flowers
Tim Holtz Fragments
Pictures of the cutest girl ever  :D

Thanks for looking & Happy Crafting!
