Design dilemma

So I was cleaning out a drawer in the kitchen and I found all the beautiful family pictures that people gave us a Christmas. I pull them out every so often and sit down and flip through them and pray for the different families. I hate having them in a drawer! So here is my design dilemma.
I have the perfect wall in my kitchen. I want to put something up like a bulletin board that isn't a bulletin board. Something kind of the length of the door that will hold lots of pictures. And it has to very low budget.



Some ideas I have come up with:
-Find a picture frame and put metal sheeting in it for magnets
-Find 3 smaller frames and put metal in it for magnets
Yup that is about as far as I got.

So HELP PLEASE!

Kay, what about those boards with the ribbon on them? I think they're covered in fabric. I've always thought that would be a good idea. You could make it as big as you want.http://www.mindspring.com/~graybill/RibbonBoards/index.html

Leah's idea is exactly what I was going to suggest. In fact I think I actually have a picture of the one that I made my daughter. It is smaller but it woudl be easy to make big. This would fit the modern set up of your house quite well and you could easily coordinate the colors. For my house using an old curved window with mullions and putting them behind glass would work well (yeah next decade!)
