The frames were some textured pastel coloured ones that have been lurking in my room for ages. As they were the wrong colour, I peeled off the top layer and coloured them with Old Paper and Stormy Sky Distress Inks which happened to go really well with a remnant of scrapbook paper, so used it to make the tag. The 'tie' is from a hanging pot plant holder I was given years ago. Although I tried different embellishments, I liked the tag with just the words.
A lovely tag - I had to look closely as I have almost identical photos of my dad and his parents looking out of a tent flap and my grandmother with three friends standing in the sea in the exact same costumes! I love what you've done with them and can't think why I didn't use mine for this weeks theme! Lovely background paper, and you did a great job on the frames.

Hi Sharne. Your tag shows off the fab vintage photos perfectly. You were right less is more in this instance. I am so glad you saved your Aunts photos. I wonder how many fab photos we have lost in this way.
ReplyDeleteLove your vintage photos. It's lovely to have such fun family vintage photos. The ones I have are all studious ones taken at weddings or in a studio.
ReplyDeleteThe slide frames work really well with these charming photos - I would like to hear the stories behind these.
