Cindy shares, “My daughter is entering middle school this year (gasp!) and will have a locker for the very first time. Like most girls, she’s been planning how she will decorate her locker for about a year now. Seriously. For part of her locker decor, she asked me to print out a photo of her with her BFF. Of course I couldn’t just give her a plain photo. I had to dress it up a bit with a colorful frame! I used a combination of the Letterbox and Abode collections that fits my daughter’s style perfectly. I used my favorite technique, machine stitching to add texture to the frame and added magnets to the back so that it will be easy to hang in her locker.”

What a fun and easy way to dress up a locker! I *almost* wish I was back in Junior High just so I could fill my locker with fun things like this :)
