"joy" frame

Hello readers! Here is my first contribution to Alicia's craft blog. If I weren't such a procrastinator I might have had this up in time for our readers to create this beautiful little project as a Christmas gift to family or friends. Honestly, it only took about 30 minutes to make, so if you have the supplies, have at it!
I cut cardboard cake board into 5 3x3 squares. I covered each of them in coordinating papers. The above paper pack is from CTMH and is called "Just Chillin". After I decorated them I punched 2 holes on both sides of the 3 middle squares. Then I cut 2 holes on the right side of the first square and the left side of the last square. I used 4" twine to tie them together and then trimmed it until I liked the length.
On these two frames I used paper from an old Christmas Slab that I found at Michaels a few years ago.... On the first frame I used stamps to make the "J", "O" (snow flake) and the "Y". In the second two I used stickers.
IF anyone attempts this, please post a comment and let me know how it turns out! Thanks and happy cropping!
