The Scrapbook Frame

I picked up a couple picture frames one day and had an idea for using one of them - why not just use it like a scrapbook for the year?  Took out the glass, put in a piece of cardboard backing with some fancy tissue paper glued to make a pretty background, and just keep that glue-stick ready!   I'll update the picture as things are added!
