‘Scrabble Tile’ Pictures

Whilst often looking on Pinterest for card ideas, I came across quite a few different scrabble
 tile pictures, which I decided to have a go at making and give to my nephews and
their families for Christmas.

so I am looking forward to making another one for them after their baby arrives.

The products I have used are:-

IKEA - Ribba Frame
Scrabble Tiles - eBay

Heart embellishments from my stash

I had to take the photos with the picture laying down, as my reflection spoilt
the view if I stood them up!
