3. Use the Textile Texture embossing plate and your
Cuttlebug to create
pink embossed mats for inside of each window opening. These have
the
same look as the metal accessories! Lightly brush each embossed
piece
of cardstock with pink and black ink. Don't worry too much about
the
center of each mat as it will be hidden by a picture.

to cut 3,6, 9 and
12 month phrases for each window. To achieve type that is small
enough
to fit, chose the 'square' feature and cut each letter at 1".
Adhere to
outside of frame.

5. Your frame is now ready to give as a gift to a
new baby! As the baby
grows, the parents can place pictures into the frame, creating a
nice
keepsake as the baby grows!
