My mum gave me these metal picture frames with some really strange prints of cats in them, and to make it worse they were matted with ugly fuzzy-looking paper. I took the frames apart, traced the old matting onto new colored cardstock, cut out some abstract shapes and put in prints of black-and-white photos. One of the prints was a bit wrinkled, so I rumpled them up some more to make them look more vintage. I'm hanging them in my bedroom tomorrow!! (Sorry for the terrible pics, took them with my camera phone on top of a bunch of afghans that were lying on my bed)
