I made this inexpensive Christmas gift for my mother-in-law. I'd made two of my older children years ago and she specifically requested one of my youngest this year. It was very well received :)
To make the scrapbook "page", I printed several pictures of my son (he pointed out they're all of his "disguises" - lol!), matted them, and taped them to a cute piece of 12x12 inch background paper with a complementary paper on top. The total cost was under $2.00.
I then purchased a simple unfinished wooden frame at the craft store ($6.00 with coupon) and painted it using acrylic paint. After painting a background color, I created little cars to go with the background paper. I'm not a great artist, but luckily kids crafts are very forgiving. You could use a regular frame or use stencils for the design, if you prefer. The entire project took me one evening with time to dry between paint colors.
