Old Photos

Remember the cubby that was filled with LHN ornaments?  Well now that spring is knocking on the door I removed the ornaments and added old photos.  Rather than looking for small frames to fit the openings I came up with an idea that may work for you in various ways in your home. 

I started by scanning the photos and resizing them to fit the small box areas.  They were each printed on matte photo paper and mounted onto scrapbook paper that has the weight of card stock.  I didn't use glue.  I used that sticky tape that rolls out of a dispenser because I didn't want the liquid to bend the photo.  The decorative paper was trimmed to make a small frame around the edge of the photo and then the finished pieces were propped to stand in the openings.  Quick and easy!

 

The keepsake silhouette in the top center box is that of my dad when he was a young man. I filled other boxes with my summertime Boyd's Bears, greens and what-knots.  Hanging off the foot of the baseball bear is a finish from "Heart and Home", an LHN design.

I had a lot of emails after posting this cubby the first time.  For anyone still wondering you can get it at the Pottery Barn online.  It comes in a lighter finish too.
