Happy New Year + Creative Framing Ideas!

Hope everyone has been having a great new year week! I know, it's kinda hard getting back into the swing of things this first week, right? For me, I like to ease back into things with a bit of self-reflection and inspiration. So I'm delighted to share some creative framing ideas a recent client sent me! She gave these as beautiful holiday gifts and I think they are just super cute and a fun way to show off the images! Check out a DIY retro frame below!

Here's a gorgeous red frame with classic beveled mat.

This elevates your images to a Fine Art level!

A whimsical frame with curved edges.

Makes a bold and creative statement!

Doesn't this wire frame looks like it's picked up from a vintage fair? This can actually be found at your local Target! To get this kitchy retro look, DIY: Get a can of spray paint from the hardware or art store- choose a fun color (like this beautiful teal) give it a nice coat or two and voila! DIY has never been easier! This frame is a work of art by itself!

And this frame with natural fibers pairs nicely with the beach themed pin-up. Wouldn't it bring the warm feeling of the tropics to any home? I can almost feel that cool breeze and hear the sound of rushing waves! Ahhhhh....that's where I want to be for my next vacation!

So hope you enjoyed these ideas! All the frames were purchased at Aaron Brothers except the teal one mentioned above. Other framing shops I recommend are Michael's and University Art. Remember that beautiful pin-ups deserve beautiful presentations and it can be both simple and affordable to customize your own framing! Stay tuned for some more Valentine's deals coming next week! xoxo Kelly

New! Handcrafted Accordion Book

Having a love for simple and handmade things, there's just something special to me about a handmade book. I took a bookbinding class in college and can appreciate the process and skill it takes to carefully measure, wrap, and choose the perfect binding and paper to create an elegant and beautiful book. So when I found these accordion books created by professional artisan bookbinders, I knew it would make a wonderful one-of-a kind presentation for your pin-up or boudoir photos! These books even got the attention of Oprah and were featured on her "O List!" So you know these books are special!

Each book comes wrapped in red, black, plum or champagne bookcloth, tied with a silk ribbon and classic button enclosure. I'm delighted to now offer this special accordion collection when you book a Half-Day Pampered Pin-Up Package, or simply add this as an upgrade to the basic Petite Pin-Up Package.

Beautiful Photos deserve beautiful albums- So make your loved one feel special with this gorgeous keepsake or cherish this gift for yourself!

More unique albums are coming this holiday season so stay tuned for more! Thanks for stopping by! xoxo Kelly Contact me: bayareapinups@gmail.com or (408)329-2511 for package info or schedule a session

*Each book is created solely by hand in the U.S.A: the fabrics and papers are cut, glued and wrapped by skilled artisan bookbinders. Archival & environmentally sound, the paper used in this albums contains 30% post consumer content, are acid-free and meant to last a lifetime.Posted via email from Pin Up's by Kelly
