Found this old Tudor Electric Football Game on the 127 sale.

Added some iron on/sticky lettering from the craft store...

Had to order the small frames because I couldn't find twelve of the same style in the right size (2" x 3"). We spray painted them blue and gold (school colors).

Scanned all of his photos into Photoshop, resized them and added the school year to each one.

The final project!

I wanted to make something special for my God son for the start of football season. I found this Tudor electric football game on the 127 sale. I purchased 12 frames online that were  2" x 3" (couldn't find any to repurpose!). They were black, but we spray painted six blue and six gold to match the school colors. I took the photos of every year he has played football and scanned them to be the same size. I added the school year of each photo in Photoshop. Since this is a metal board, I put magnets on the back of the photo frames. Voila! A magnet board for my God son! Kickoff for the season is Friday night!
