Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Altered Shabby Frames}

June 3, 2009



I made these small altered frames over the weekend. The papers used are K & Company. I just love the Madeline line – so romantic and beautiful. Prima flowers, buttons, vintage images, machine stitching and ephemera were also added.

    Nancy, I would like to make a frame for my daughter, using a photo of her baby–where did you get the blank frames that you used? Thanks so much! ~Jann
