Picture Board Ideas

I want to make a picture board about 18" high x 24" wide to hang on my office wall. I sponsor 3 families with a 8 yr old child thru World Vision ( El Salvador, Bangladesh and Mozambique ) and each year they send me update pictures of them. I want to post them on something without thumb tacks. Now I use scotch tape and my fridge but it is getting covered and becoming too small.

I have seen white board for use with markers but want something nicer if possible. I plan to make a nice wood frame and not just hang it there like a white board for sticky notes. Anybody know of any other type of board or material? Any pics of something you have created? I will use small amounts of clear scotch tape. Price is no concern.

Have you considered magnetic white board. Best of both worlds.

A nice breadboard frame would make it pop.
I may use that as the backing board but need ideas on how to make a frame. My walls are a taupe color so the white should not jump out too much?

I can get exotic wood locally and am looking for a Winter project. Do y'all use a router to make frames as that is on my list of tools to buy and work with?
