Vintage Christmas Card - Challenge

 Hello crafty friends,  there is a new Challenge at Christmas Crafts All Year Round, ( CCAYR ).   Here is my card for this month.  Theme is:  Waiting For Santa

The background for this fireplace came from an old 1950's Christmas card, but using my program I decided it would look great for the card I wanted to make.  The little girl is from a Rub-On - Girl's Toys Collage.  I found this at a local flea market.   I am glad I bought more when it was available.  The other embellishments of the stars and bells are from Our Warm Christmas - Die cut card pieces, these are from Journey of Crafting on Etsy.

Here is the fireplace background should you like to use it in your card making.

Vintage Fireplace Created by Mary S. 2022

I decided that I wanted the overall look of the card to reflect a vintage feel, so I used Distress Ink in vintage photo.

The card base (what little you can see of it) is from 49 and Market - Bold & Beautiful item # BB-88152

That is my card for this month, I hope you'll come on over and join in the fun at CCAYR!

Hugs, Mary :)

Vintage Ephemera Page

Hello to my crafty friends, It's time to update this blog and offer another vintage ephemera page, free.   Use in your printed out scrapbook pages or cards and tags.  :)   With the holidays coming around the corner, its going to be a busy time especially at work.     And what's with this weather!?   Just a week ago we enjoyed temps in the 60's, now there is a frosty bite to the air, this has left me with sinus stuffiness... and you know how it goes with the nose.    That reminds me I need to keep taking my Vitamin C.    Later today, hubby has to go in to the dentist for a bit of surgery.   I think I am more stressed then he seems to be... he has to have an implant done.   I spoke with the dentist as far as my teeth are concerned and I said I will gladly have a bridge made, no implants please.   I am just hoping all goes well with him.     Anyway, here is the page as promised.   I will try and get more made.... I have to get up early in the morning for my shift tomorrow... but to get off earlier is all worth it.     Hope you enjoy using this vintage page.   I liked making it.   Hugs, Mary

 

Vintage 1920's - freebies

 Hello!   It's been a while since I've entered a post.    Thought it might be fun to offer something a little different.   During one of our flea market shopping trips I came across this Spring 1920 catalog offering the latest fashions, and I just had to have it.   I am offering just a little bit of those pages for you to use in your crafting.     Leave a comment if you wish, love hearing from you.   Hugs, Mary
