I got thinking though, that I kinda live in an area where we are a wee bit art/craft store deprived and also my family is on a budget. So I brainstormed about how to do this project without spending $16 per canvas. So I decided this....every summer our church gives out gift Bibles to the graduating seniors that attend here. So I have a few empty boxes that these Bibles came in that would work great! The box measures about 1 inch tall, 8 1/2 inches long and 6 inches wide. There is a top and bottom to it, so now I have someting for 2 pictures. This is obviously smaller than a 12x12, but if you are cool with not having SPECIFICALLY 12x12 things, then this should work. So just an idea, but look around your house for something that looks similar to the canvases and you should be set. I will post a picture of this tonight so you can see what I am talking about.

Also, they make the flat ones that come 3 in a pack which are much cheaper than the "box lid" style canvas...
