Altered Swing Frame

Hello friends!
Today I want to share with you this antique swing frame I purchased at an antique shop awhile back just waiting for the  inspiration to alter it.





 
I am having so much fun playing with this paper line!
It's called Circa 1934 and it's by Cosmo Cricket.
This swing frame fits a 5 x 7 photo into the small black photo corners so that the photos can easily be changed instead of glued. Although a 4 x 6 photo would look great in the center!



I found this beautiful velvet flower that matches the paper perfectly! It is by Prima and comes in a set.



Here is a peek of how it would look with a 5 x 7 photo in the frame.
This photo was from a collection of Glamour Shots
 that my Mom and I did for my Sixteenth Birthday.




This swing frame has been added to our etsy shop!

Wishing you a day of crafty fun, Lindsey

    Hi Lindsey:
    What a clever way to use this frame. It's beautiful...and so is the photograph of you with your mom!

    Happy New Year to both of you.

    Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful frame! I love the Circa 1934 line as well and recently used it to alter a letterpress tray. Such a great paper line!

    p.s. the words on the dining room wall were painted by a "professional" that I hired about 5 years ago.
