She picked some of her favourite photos of her granddaughter, used some of her "It's a girl" cards and we found and old frame that my husband had been hoarding downstairs "just in case" She arranged the pics and cards and put the flowers in and around the border, like what was done here. It now hangs in her bedroom and I get such a lovely warm feeling every time I look at it and remember when she was first born.

I love it. I agree, I'd make sure to use it on a print that you could reproduce. If it's a photograph, I'd just make sure to have the original file or neg. I'm going to try this. Thanks for sharing!

But I'll ask my friend to give me the company and name of print. I love it too! Lou, I know it says “Martha’s Vineyard” on the bottom of the print and that they got it at a shop there.
