First attempt

Well my first attempt at scrap framing was an absolute joy!
I managed to find some great frames (although I would of loved to have bigger ones but these were reduced from $25 to $3.99 so that decided it). The best frames to use are called shadow boxes there about an inch of space between the glass and the back of the picture so it's enough to put objects in.
I'll talk you through my first frames.

This big frame is full of various memorabilia from my pregnancy to the birth of Sapphires, including the pregnancy test and scan picture as well as the first foot print and a photo of her just seconds old. I kept all the tags and announcements (it's going to more of challenge to find enough to fill a frame for Indianna as there just isn't that much stuff..always the way with subsequent babies I guess?).



This next one is of me and my dear sister Martha. We shared a room for many years and my favourite wall paper from one the rooms we shared was this Victoria Plum print. I loved it so much I use to keep pressing my glow bug at night so I could look at Victoria..what a babe!



This photo is of Sapphire on her dedication day and the special cake that was made for her by Keri. I've safely kept the iced bib and it was all in one piece until I tried to stick it in these frame, it broke into no less that seven pieces!! So it's now held together with glue, sticky tape, double sided sticky tape and Velcro!!! ..can you tell?



Here is a very old photo take of me and my three other siblings in a non posed shot! It's mounted on an old bank statment from March 1979 (the month I was born) which my mum gave me.




This last one is a lock of Sapphire hair saved from her first haircut when she was two. I've left a space for Indianna's lock which I think will be brown? so it should look pretty cool.



...more to come soon.
