The illustrations are feminine, frilly, and faith-based, and once completed, fit to be framed!

They are primarily one-sided, but if there are words, then the words are printed on the other side (not sure why, but its pretty). The pages are sturdy and held up pretty well to to the media I used; however, I did have some issues with erasing. (If you must erase, be gentle.)

Coloring Pictures Is Therapeutic

I filled-in the picture (see uploads) with a nice set of colored pencils, glitter gel pens, and chalk (for the sky). I experienced a little bleedthrough, but fortunately I had slipped in a piece of cardstock between the page I was coloring and the next page, so it didn't affect the next illustration. Im really pleased with how it turned out!

On the reverse side of the image I completed, you can see where I layered various colors (see uploads). I don't think its a big deal to have the embossing, since Im not showcasing the back of the picture! Had I not inserted a sheet of cardstock under the page I was coloring, the next image would definitely have been debossed and possibly smudged. (Be sure to keep that in mind if you tend to blend colors or press hard or use water-based markers.)

I created a video where I flip through a number of the pages so you can see what the pictures look like. I have uploaded it to YouTube, but since Amazon does not allow links, I can't link to it. However, if you search for "Peek Inside: A Giving Heart - A Coloring Book Celebrating Motherhood," you'll find it. It's really short & definitely worth the watch.

 Pros:
The pictures in this book are VERY pretty, and in my opinion, frame-worthy. Illustrations include: floral patterns, angel, coffee, a country drive, cactus, tea, Bible verses, quotes about motherhood, and love.

 Cons:
The pages could be a little thicker and more smooth. Be sure to insert cardstock between the page you color and the next page.

The drawings are a bit too intricate for little ones (in my opinion). This would make a great gift for a new mother or new grandmother!

This is even cuter in person than in the pictures.  The contrasting pattern on the hood and pockets is more visible and adds a lot of interest.  My 13 year old daughter wears it every day and gets lots of compliments!  It is perfect for a slightly larger body frame (not a stick figure!) girl.

These frames are beautiful!  I have looked locally for frames and only found 'plain' ones.  These are delicate with scalloped edging and attached strap rings.  They are an antiqued brass which goes well with the design of purse body I use.  They were packaged well, perfectly cared for, and arrived exactly on time.  I love them!!

I love this frame! I love anything in this color family and after spending 10 years in Hawaii I have a soft spot for beach themed decor. I picked this for an industrial shelf we built and I was adding some feminine soft pieces to contrast the harsh lovely industrial look. This is perfect and great quality!

I ordered 2 of these frames in the 20x30 size in gray barnwood to display some photos I shot and I could not be more pleased with them! The gray is a true neutral gray, not blueish or greenish tinged as so many grays tend to be. We wanted big frames to put onto a photo ledge we are building so we didn't want frames that were too heavy or bulky and these will fit that bill perfectly. They don't weigh a ton yet they still look quite substantial. The "wood" print I think looks amazing, you have to feel it with your hands to know there's not actually texture to the "wood", it looks quite real. And if someone is going to start rubbing your picture frames to feel if it's true wood texture, they have other problems. One of the corners of my frames was a bit off (photo attached), but not enough to diminish my happiness. I'll just tuck that corner behind some other things once the frame is on the photo ledge.
Also, it came packaged very well and the acrylic facing had a film on it on each side protecting it from any scratches during packing & transport. Overall very happy with my purchase and would recommend!

Beautiful even coloring, contours hang in such a way as to complement the most unique figures. Very feminine yet Gen. Y appropriate for casual and dress up.

I don't have many colors (dark green) like this in my wardrobe, so I really wanted this blouse. It will look great with leggings or jeans and tall boots with leggings and short boots with jeans. The studded detail on this shirt sends it over the top for me!

Perfect Fit!!! They are nice and sturdy. The frames blended perfectly on my wall theme!

I have a collection of this type of frame and this style fit in perfectly.  I wanted a special frame for my Granddaughters graduation picture. This frame accents her picture perfectly!

Beautiful! For those that may not be able to see this in the photos like I didn't, there a small splash like bits of pink color on the frame.  It's deliberate and part of the look! I didn't expect that but like it anyway

Nice medium quality frame. The screws do show in the four holes you see in the picture shown, but if you don't mind that rustic look go for it. My friend, whom I bought it for, loved it!

Absolutely gorgeous. If you're a fan of folk art, these are for you! You can choose your frame from a nice selection and you can also choose different sizes. I highly recommend this artwork.

This is a beautiful jacket!  Super soft leather and the style is edgy, but still feminine.  Excellent quality and super chic. I was worried about the gold hardware, because I usually go for silver tones, but the gold gives it a fashion forward edge.  I love it!

Great price for this item- a LOT cheaper than other collage frames for the same or better quality (even by the same brand), and free shipping! Frame is made of some sort of plastic, but it looks like wood, not cheap shiny plastic (it is matte). The entire back comes off and pictures are easy to put in. Glass covers your pictures. Can hang vertically or horizontally. Because the middle picture is an 8x10" it has a much more dramatic look than other collage frames. I am going to buy 2 more! (Thank you to the other reviewer who submitted a picture, otherwise I would have never purchased this, and it is a great buy!)

Love these frames! Great price and look even better in person. I ordered another and am buying (3) 16x20.
