Well after several email requests, I have decided to make the Alphabet Tiles for you to use in these layouts. They are in .png format and can be placed in any order in your layout making these very versatile. They are designed to fit a 12 x 5 layout for a finished frame approximately 14x 7. You may purchase the "Alpha Tiles" for $15.00 for the set including 2 sizes of spacers (for the sides) and the Star and Heart to complete your layouts. Just shoot me an email and I will send you a paypal invoice and then, when the payment is received, I will email you the zipped file which includes instructions as to how to use the tiles. Remember this is for the alphabet only and the frame is from Scrappy Shannon's and can be found at http://www.scrappyshannonsblogspot.com/. I made this preview with the "tiles" to show you that they fit together "seamlessly" . Hope you can use these. His, Teri

OK, OK, I WILL DO IT !!!!!

I have had several name request for the new frames that I am making. If you want a specific name, you can email me the name or names you want, and for $1.50 per name I will make you a personalized name frame template. This is for the template only, no frame. I would suggest you try one of my freebies, make sure you like my work before you ask me to make your special name. The money would be non-refundable, so I just want everyone happy! I have not been interested in selling my things, but I would be willing to make you a special name for these darling "name frame" layouts. I will also let you know if it is not a name that will work with what I am doing. I don't think long names will look good, because the letters will be too small to put a picture in. 7 or 8 letters would be the max, to me. I prefer 5 to 7 letters to look the best. However, a short name could be preceded by a heart or something like that or at the end, or both ends to make more places for pictures. If you wanted to use a short name only, you could always scrap around it to add interest, but that is up to you. I will do 3 letter names if that is what you want, just understand that there will be a lot of blank space around your name. These would also be great to put the last name of a family on if that is what you want!

If you want this darling frame to put on your layouts to use on your computer, my friend Shannon over at Scrappy Shannons made this especially for me to go along with my name frames. All you gotta do is go over to her blog to snag it! http://scrappyshannon.blogspot.com/ Be sure to tell her thanks for taking her time to make this for me! It looks great if you are gonna show off your layout on your computer! A big thanks Shannon, for all the help, the countless questions you have answered for me and the encouragement you have given me. Hugs...

This is a no pressure deal for me, I will make them if you want, but if there are no takers on the names, that is ok too! If I make a name for you, and later that name happens to be offered for free, it is unintentional. An example, like HUNTER, or FAITH. I will not say I may never make those names for my blog readers, but if I make them at your request, then I will expect to get paid. Sounds fair, right? I for sure don't want you mad at me for making a name available that you once paid for. You are paying for the convenience of having the name you want, when you want it. If you are interested in several names, it is to your advantage to give me those names at one time to ensure that you will get them all at the same time. The names all have a beveled look to them so they really look nice when printed. From a distance, they look like they are really cut out of a mat. I will try it like this with the understanding that if it doesn't work out, then I will have to withdraw my offer to make personalized name frames. They will be in .png format only and are for personal use only.

I Just Saved You A Bunch Of Money.....

I wanted  to try to make a name frame for my grandson's birthday.  So, I found a frame (I got mine at Walmart for $3.00) and found the paper at Office Depot.  It as about $40.00 for 20 sheets.  I prefer a matte finish but all they had was glossy.  You need paper that is at least 14" long because the finished size of the photo  will be 12 1/2 x 5.  The pack I found was 11x17 so I can get two name frames out of each sheet of paper.  I just used my home paper cutter and cut 4.75" off the paper first.  Then cut my width to the 4.75.  Be sure to measure your paper to make it match your frame if it is not the same size as this.  So with the frame for $3 and the paper comes to $1 you will have a TOTAL of $4 in this darling, unique gift!  I hope yall are as excited as I am!  I did not put my signature "little message" underneath the name because I thought it would limit you on what you can do with this!  But, feel free to add something if you want to, like at date or what ever.  I personally like it plain and simple.   So below is my finished, framed "Photo Name" ready for me to wrap up for his birthday.  I did try printing it with a black background also, and I personally did not like it at all.  The white background shows off the photos much better.  When you are choosing your photo's, you will have to play around with resizing them to get them to fit into the letter shape.  Try to enlarge some to show close ups of faces and eyes, or zoom out a little to make their bodies fit in a letter.  You will have to crop off some of the pictures once you get them in the letters where you want them, so they don't overlap the letter next to it.  Just experiment with different photos.  Black and White photos would look so good too!  In my daughters we mixed in 2 B&W photos.   I have had several comments about personalized names, I can not see me doing them unless I was paid something for my time.  And I don't know how that would work out.  I have not considered getting paid for anything but, it would be time consuming and I just don't think I could do it unless I was paid something.  If you have some thoughts on this, let me know.   But for right now, I would have to say, I am not doing name requests at this time. I'm sorry :(       ****edited****    see above post

So here is the first one i have for you.  I will be making many more for sure.  Please leave me some love if you like what I do.  After all, if I can spend the time to create these, put them on my blog, FOR FREE, surely a little pat on the back isn't too much to ask.  It goes a long way in motivating me to make more :)
