I have a few very old Victorian scrapbooks and albums with thick, cardboard like pages and lovely designs. They’re literally falling apart beyond restoration, but the insides are still lovely. I wanted to share my favorite of the first book, a stunning winter scene with birds and berries.
Here’s a scan of the original, just a little smaller than the actual size, I want it to fit on one page.

How to use the Vintage Victorian Frame
print it out onto heavy cardstock, then age and trim. You can insert a message or image into the frame spot or cut it away completely. There is a copy of the file waiting for you rapt the end of this page, so do t save this one, the resolution will be too low.

I cleaned up a Bakers Dozen of other frames from the book and bundled them into a new collection. They are both jpg and pdf for added versatility. Here’s a peek at how they turned out:

I like the original, but wanted to make this more versatile. I brightened up the colors a bit, then scaled both versions to several smaller sizes.
