WFMW: A twist on decorating with family pictures

Sometime last year, I decided that I didn’t like my wall arrangement of photographs in our dining room. It was made up of around seven framed photographs — ranging from 4×6 to 8×10 (and only one of those!).

So…first thing — bigger pictures do tend to look better on the wall. So, I knew I wanted some larger framed pictures than I had.

Then, I was at Michael’s and saw their $9.99 black 12×12 frames that are sold as “album frames” (you know — record albums). They were 50% off, so I picked up seven of them. I then picked seven scrapbook layouts, and have them hanging in our dining room.
I get so many compliments on these! It’s different than just having photographs framed, and it’s very visually appealing. I will point out — my layouts don’t coordinate with one another. I just picked favorites that were fairly recent (within the past year) and made sure everyone in the family was represented.

Above the seven layouts (four in a horizontal line, and then three in a horizontal line above those), I have a long and narrow wooden sign that says “All Because Two People Fell In Love.”
So…if you’re a scrapbooker (or could at least do up a few layouts), this is a great way to frame something a little different than your average photograph.

Edited to add pictures of the arrangement, as per commenter request — you may see now that the reason I didn’t add them before was because it is a junkie spot in my house to take pictures of something covered with glass. LOL This arrangement is exactly opposite a sliding glass door. So, these are the best pictures I could get:
