We had some family photos professionally taken in January before my parents emigrated to another country and therefore they are extra special. I decided for Mothers Day to make my mother a gift that she could have in her home and it would be visible instead of the photos being hidden in an album.
This frame was inexpensive and just perfect for what I wanted.
Firstly I removed the glass as I wanted to not just put photos in but decorate and this would add height therefore the glass would prevent me doing this.
I chose a pretty rose floral paper and co ordinating embellishments from my stash.
I used Helmar 450 quick dry glue to attach my chosen papers cut at 6×4 inch and my photo.
I then set about decorating each 6×4 inch frame.
I used Helmar liquid scrap dots to add height to certain elements such as the roses, tea pot and cup.
I used the Helmar PVA glue to attach the wood veneer pieces.
I lastly added my photo of my mother and I. I added a rose to the outer of the frame and a paper heart to the top right of the photo.
This is simple to create and budget friendly, however is a beautiful gift made from the heart.
Here is a list of Helmar products I used:
I have used Kaisercraft High Tea paper collection and die cuts.
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope this inspires you today to create a keepsake just like this.
