A LO from me and a new product

I was inspired by the cover of Sports Illustrated that came in the mail yesterday - has anyone seen it? It’s got the Celtics and the Lakers and shows an old picture in a vintage-looking frame. I thought, “How neat! I wonder if they did that digitally or if it’s an actual photo of an old slide/photo?” I took that as my inspiration and then started making my own slidemounts and photo frames. I wanted to incorporate some stamps, writing and miscellaneous numbers and, well, “Mangled Frames” is what was born from that inspiration.

You can get Mangled Frames at SBB or ShopJMT and they’re $3.00 for a set of 13 frames, 2 labels and a large staple. The frames come in 3 different slidemounts and 3 different photo frames, each with several different versions. Each one has either labels, text, stamps and torn cardboard to make them look old and used. Here’s a preview:

And a LO I did using one of them:

Oh, and the journaling: There’s a Void in my heart and I don’t think it’ll ever be filled. Memories - We miss you, Kip but we did what was best for all of us. (It’s referencing us having to give him up because he was biting the kids. But, fortunately, he was adopted by someone without kids just 4 days after we gave him up.)
