I would just play around with frames that you have on the floor in different layouts to see what you like. Or even sketch something out on paper and look at the proportions of your drawing and try to guess coordinating frame sizes. Good luck! xo, s

I was wondering, what are sizes of frames that you used? And is there a rule of thumb of what sizes are good when hanging frames in a collage? I love this idea!

I also REALLY LIKE the multiple 8 colored ( I dont know what they are) in frames above the couch in the current house you know in the living room with the "kermit" green carpet. What exactly is in the frames? Does anyone know where I can find out if they were made/bought perhaps a more close up picture to see what they are? Thanks tons everyone in advance LOVE THIS BLOG!!!!

Gave it to the Hubs for our anniversary. I picked a few lines from a favorite song of ours and followed Sara Jayne's tips from above. All I spent was $1.90 at Kinkos + $14.97 for 50% off frame at AC Moore. Love it and love the ideas. I also pulled off the wedding shadow box. It's awesome too!

We love hymns, so I used a hymn that started with "G." I turned my file from Word into a JPEG and had it printed at Wal-Mart. I recreated another one for a gift in Microsoft Publisher and it turned out even better. I will have that printed at Sams or Wal-Mart. http://theabegreenfamily.blogspot.com/2011/06/my-take-on-monogram-art.html Here is my version.

For anyone who can't find the right magazine letter, I made my own in InDesign with the first paragraph from the first chapter of a favorite novel. Total cost = $8.00. $6 frame from the thrift shop and 50% off mat from Hobby Lobby. Been obsessed with this idea since I saw it!
