Hello Everyone! Lydia here and today I have a framed project to share with you. I've had this frame for quite awhile and just wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. When I got these photos printed, I knew they would be perfect for this frame.
I painted the frame brown and then stamped it with my woodgrain stamp. I love the way that turned out. Subtle but just right. I added some old book pages to the frames that I didn't want photos in.
Ripping, misting, and rumpling gave me the look I wanted. My best friend Lynne and I found these ink quills at a junk shop one day. I've been hanging onto them cause they are just so cool! I thought 3 wrapped together with my favourite....twine.....would be just right for this project.
These wee bottles were a find the in the same junk shop. Love my tiny things. I picked up the shells from our favourite beach and the sand....well, it just came from my shoes! I could have a beach in my back yard just from the sand that we collect in shoes. :)
Some buttons, lace trim, flowers, and a few wee words that describe my boys complete the frame. I love the way it turned out.
I hope you've enjoyed my project and are thinking about a way you can showcase some special photos.
Happy Crafting! :)

Stunning Lydia, I love it. I have a Tim Holtz tray (a bit large, would need a lot of stuff to fill it!!) but it is lovely and I hope to get round to doing that. Your tutorial has given me some good ideas. Gorgeous boys too. Thank you. Debbiexx
