Actually today's craft project here at the house was to do the exact opposite -- I got some foam board, cut out matting rectangles, and let the kids color their own frames. Mommy can put whatever she wants in them. I was originally aiming for custom matting within a standard frame, but the foamboard's a little thick so we end up with wall mountable frames themselves.
