Last week, my buddy Betsy from My Salvaged Treasures (one of my Vintage Inspiration Party co-hosts), shared a photo on her Facebook page, showing how she uses vintage photos in mats to display the gorgeous jewelry that she makes and sells. When I spotted the frame with the gal in the fur stole, I asked Betsy if she would scan that photo and mat and send it to me, so I could share it with you all as a printable, and she sweetly agreed.
Based on the gal’s hairstyle, I’m guessing this photo to be from the 1920’s.
I’ve removed the photo, and turned it into a PNG image, so you can “layer” your own photo behind the mat.
This gives you an idea of how it looks afterward. I shot this photo of one of my sons before he left for college last year. I use Picmonkey to layer a photo inside the mat frame.
Thanks so much to Betsy @ My Salvaged Treasures for sharing it! Be sure to pop over and visit her!
Have fun with it!
You can find more antique photo frame printables HERE.
Thanks for getting the link fixed, Angie!
This is a wonderful printable mat to have! Thanks for offering it
I love vintage photo mats…thank you!
Thanks so much, Angie! these are beautiful…and I have some great vintage photos of family members that I would love to put in these! You are so kind!
I absolutely love these! What a great idea! My sons are mixed so we often print the photos in black and white or sepia tones simply because their features show up better. It will be such fun to print them out with these mats!
Glad you like them, Ericka! My oldest son and husband have really dark hair and sepia tones work better with them as well. Forget any kind of dark background – it looks like they have no hair because it just blends into the background!
Love the mats Angie … so sweet of you to offer these. I am sure I can find something to use them on.
Blessings,
Audrey Z.
Love these!
Love this! I recently acquired a small grouping of antique photos myself, and had some thoughts along this line for displaying the rosaries I make. Great minds think alike! Old is new again.
Thanks so much for sharing Angie. Love all these gorgeous frames, so many possibilities. They just don’t make them like they used to.
Thank you Angie that is exactly what i needed,i have some old post cards i picked up in an antique shoppe in Ark. one time and i just ran one of those frames off and it is perfect,has the same patina and every thing,i need to get some other kind of paper but i am so tickled,i have been wanting to put those up.You have a Blessed weekend.
I look forward to all your post. I really love your house, and your great ideas.
I just recently acquired an autographed black & white photo of Farley Mowat for which I bought a simple black frame, but this would make lovely matting that would add a bit of special detail around it…something that would just show it off a bit, you know? Thank you so much for sharing this with us! And a big “thank you” to Betsy, as well!
Thanks you very much. I will use it for my scrap album with pics from my parents and family in the fifties!
My pleasure, Gaby!
Thank you so much! I was just looking for something like this on the net and then you post this much to my surprise! !!!!!!
Blessings~~~~~~Kim
I visit your website almost daily, Angie. Love it.
Love, love, love the antique picture frames. I was searching for matting ideas for vintage photos never realizing that I would find the PERFECT mat
I am really wondering if I could use your images like these frames for my junk journal that I like to make and sell? These are so awesome.
Thank you so much for offering these frames. I am making an ancestry book for my daughter and was trying to figure out how to frame my “scaled down” relatives. It’s a God thing !
Blessings, Barbara
