Scrapbook page fit for a Vintage Home

I have wanted to display some scrapbooked elements in my Tearooms for some time as I thought it would be nice to embellish the place with some hand made decoration.

Obviously I want to stay within the theme of all things tea related and/orVictorian (as it has a Victorian Theme to the tearooms), and so I [...]

FREE Download - Genuine Vintage Letter

I’ve had a request for some Vintage letters for use on cards and scrapbook pages!  I mentioned a while ago about some Very old Genuine letters my husband had in his possession. (click here for the article and video)
Anyway Sue, from Canada, has asked if I could let her know where she can download any [...]

Day 17 - folded layers Card

This is a sweet picture of a little girl, and one that I would think, would definitely appeal to Grannies everywhere!  Ooh, is that being ageist?
Anyway, I used a whole 6×6 piece here and border punched opposite sides and then put in graduated folds for interest.  I suppose I got the idea so that it [...]

Day 16 - Blue and the Big hat again

Simple, but made much more effective by the layering of a couple of contrasting layers of border-punched patterned papers.

Day 15 - Using up the left overs for Vintage Cards

I realise I said I would put these up “tomorrow” and it’s a bit later than that, but se la vie!  I only have so much energy!
So here are the two cards I made using the left overs from the cards in the previous post!

Day 14 - 2 for the Price of 1

My original idea was to create a load of cards for sale in the Tearooms, and to make a number the same so that I could make cards quicker.  Well it didn’t really work because the papers I had bought only had one page of each design!  Plus I was trying to use up scraps, [...]

Day 13 - Lady with a Big Hat!

This is just a small card - 4×4″, or a little over, I used all three Martha Stewart punches I bought as a set from QVC recently, on this one!
The Belly-band punch in the darker blue, the border punch in the middle at the top and the corner punch.  I particularly like the way you [...]

Day 12 - Sepia Tone Card

The image for this card was fairly brown (ie, sepia as opposed to black and white) so I went with the colour theme on the background colour and the embellishments.
Another lesson in layering there… a bit of lace gathered into a flower with a flower on top (white one coloured with an ink pad) and [...]

Day 11 - One more for the Road

So this image is the same as the last couple of cards, but I want to show you how the same picture can be used in many different ways, even more so when it is a black and white picture.
I have printed this image slightly smaller to fit this size card, which is only about [...]

Day 10 - Same again, but different

Ok, so this is the same image as yesterday’s card, but look at the difference in treatment and colours!  Agais a single piece of patterned paper wrapped around the card front and a little matting and embellishing.
