Simple Mat Update

I've had this frame for over a year and never really liked the black mat.  It just doesn't look that good with the silver frame.  Anyway, I finally got around to changing it with some pretty scrapbook paper and here is what I did:

I removed the mat from the frame.

Placed the mat face side down on the back of the scrapbook paper to trace it.

Then I cut out the new mat.

Here it is cut and ready to go.

I used craft glue to attach the new mat to the old mat.  Done and Done!

Here is what it looked like before (including a curious little boy!)  Boring!

And here it is after!!  I l-o-v-e it!!  So much better!  That is an old picture that means a lot to me, and the new mat really adds a little something to it!

Total cost for this project:  Free!!  I had all the supplies I needed.

Here is where I'm linking up today:
