Frame It!!!

While tirelessly searching the internet for awesome sites and ideas, I came across some stunning ideas for designing your own personal photo frames for your home.  The first idea I found is the "relationship frame". In order to make this, you and your partner need to collect various things from throughout your relationship, such as concert/movies/theatre tickets, photos, festival passes, wrist bands, letters or cards from each other etc. Then arranged all of these items in a collage format on a background, and finally place it in a frame. If there are 3D objects in your collage then a box frame can be used instead. Once your frame is complete put it up in your home, somewhere that you and your guests can see it, to display all the good times you and your partner have had. This is also a stunning gift idea, but it just takes some pre-planning.

I'm going overseas in 3 months time and so the next idea, "the Travel Frame", completely and utterly excited me! During your travels, collect various small memorabilia along the way such as aeroplane tickets, photos, till slips, train tickets, tags from things you bought in that country/place etc and then arrange these similarly to the frame above in a collage on a background, and place it in a frame. Put a heading of the place or country that you visited, which can be cut out from photos that you have taken at that place. Then display these frames in your home, and add a new frame to your collection every time you go to another country. This is an alternative to a scrap book, and although you cannot put as many things in these frames as you would in a scrap book, these frames are more accessible to you and your guests.
