Framed Vintage Postcards

I have been blog hopping from different blog link parties this week and I have seen so many beautiful craft projects that I am inspired to do. I am so happy that I have seen a lot of ideas about decorating a wall or walls with framed printable pictures. Our walls are practically bare, there are only two framed artworks in our living room and two little frames in our kitchen. Admittedly, it was really boring! Last month, I made a Desiderata frame and since then, I am obssessing to add more framed items in our walls. Then, I saw a lot of wall gallery projects and there was one who framed vintage postcards. I also have some vintage postcards and I have always thought of framing them. Well, I guess, a lot of inspiration and a little push were just what I needed to finally have them in frames and up in those bare walls for others to also see and enjoy. Being vintage made them more interesting and the prints, as well as the captions also evoke a hint of humor! Here they are!

When I saw these red frames from a thrift shop yesterday, I knew the cards would fit perfectly. The Dutch Kid Comic and the one that says "Ripping day..." would be in our living room and the other one with the hotdog stand would be hang in our kitchen (since it has something to do with food). And I would love a red frame in our kitchen to spice up the room!

Scrapbook Picture Frame

When I was shopping for a gift for my friend's baby shower, I saw this baby towel blanket with the word "baby" in the hood. The letters are four different fabric cut-outs and it looks so crafty. My friend and I both love to craft and I am sure that she would really like it. Since it cost a little bit lower than my budget, I decided to look around for something to add to it. I wanted to give her scrapbook materials, so I went to the arts & crafts section. Then, I saw this solid wood picture frame. An idea of making a scrapbook like picture frame then came to my mind. So, I purchased the frame and one set of scrapbook accessories. I painted the frame in sky blue, then stick the accessories and this is how it looked after.
