Fairy Frames for Kerri

These are just like scrapbook pages framed..except no pictures of people..but framed pieces of book illustrations.  I purchased frames at Goodwill that had matted book illustrations (i didn't know they were book illustrations until i took the back off and looked.  The frames were just painted cheap white frames..and from the looks of it the illustrations had faded badly...again i didn't know until i took the back off and saw the back of the illustrations that had been matted were much brighter.  My daughter Kerri has a room with some fairy images and she's always been fond of fairy things since we lived in Wales.  Infact i made a floral "halo" for her wedding to wear that was made like one of the famous fairy paintings. 

When i found these i knew i wanted to redo them somehow...and then i showed Kerri my past framed picture of my grandson Emmett (link is here) and she said she liked the idea..so we created these.  I am not happy with the photos because they aren't as bright as they really look, but these are the photos i can take with my phone...and i don't have my camera with me right now.
