frame

Framing Memories

• Select the frame. If possible, go with one that has an acid free liner/matting. This will help prevent things from fading and aging.

• Before gluing anything down, take a little time to lay things out. Don't rush--haste makes waste.

• Some things you may include are: photo, ticket stub, playbill cover, note on cocktail napkin, menu, pressed flower, label from wine bottle, etc (figure A).

• Use acid free glue or photo corners to put the items in place.

• If you are writing anything, use a photo safe pen or marker.

• Embellish with fun stickers or captions. There are so many fun things to choose from. Check the scrapbooking section out at your local craft store.

Tip: These make a great gift.
