Old Photo Frame

  Awaking this morning to snow, and still snowing, I decided to stay in by the warm fire in the fireplace.   I wanted to share a small project just completed a few days ago, after I found a few old photo frames, I had hidden away and forgotten about.  

    I have been attempting to reorganize my small sewing and crafting room AGAIN to store items to be more visual..........and is a struggle. I have determined I may never truly be organized the way I envision my space.
   
     I thought this old frame would be a way to hold special cards, letters, photos etc. 

     I  pulled out a photo I had taken one snowy day and used the photo as the main focal area.  I had laid a lace scarf down on the snow and then set old stacked books on top of the lace.  I loved the effect of the snow, lace, books and a little brown stubble of grass showing through.

     I then stitched the photo and decorative paper on the frame using tan thread.  Next the frame was stitched up to the flap.

     Then lace, old buttons, small old key, and old pin were all glued with E6000 glue to the flap.  For closing the flap, I finished off with black velcro.

  

                 The detail in the design on the frame is so so pretty  

Wishes for a creative week.
