Gone Vintage

So many of the crafting websites I look at are all about vintage. I mean, what's not to like? Beautiful florals, deep, rich colours, dainty lace and so many pretty digital images. Many people feel that the 1970's are vintage; myself, I like the Victorian era.

This card was made with some Daisy D's paper, the bird image in the middle is printed from an Internet site (I can't remember which one, I looked at so many), Melissa Frances rub-ons and some great jeweled stick-ons that I got on sale the other day at Michael's. The heart border was done with a Fiskars punch and the lace is courtesy of mom.


I'm still suffering from Christmas hangover. Because I've been working so much, all my Christmas gifts are still strewn around the living room though I did manage to hook up my WII and Beatles Rock Band last night (had I not been so busy playing with the WII, I probably could have got the mess in my living room cleaned up....it's all about time management....or, in this case, lack of it).

For card #2, I used some Anna Griffin paper and another image from the Internet. The lace is true vintage (and I'm talking pre-70's) and I added some Melissa Frances rub-ons, some chipboard numbers, a stick-on brad and some pretty ribbon.

I thought we were going to make it through January without any snow - don't ask me what I was thinking - but, alas, the snow arrived over the past couple of days. The good news is that the temperature climbed to -4 today so it was a virtual heat wave.

I must run as bed awaits. Hope to have a couple more projects later in the week. Thanks for looking and thanks to all those who leave their very kind and flattering comments.
