Depending on how you arrived here, you may or may not be aware of my Vintage Greeting Card Image CDs and Cut Outs. I just love working with the Vintage Greeting Cards and have collected quite a large number of them. I am in heaven when I get a new vintage scrapbook and can spend time pouring over the collected cards, letters and mementos. Each scrapbook gives just a little insight into the life and times of the author and their families. The scrapbooks are created with such care and loving that you just know that it was very important to them to save all the tidbits and memories.
I try and take this love and care right into creating my Vintage Greeting Card Image CDs and Cut Outs. Sometimes, I'll even include something from the scrapbook, like a wedding picture of the couple or a sweet little handmade heart from a child to their mommy.
So many times, the scrapbooks are torn apart and the individual pieces sold or thrown away. It just breaks my heart! So all of my scrapbooks are kept together and the CDs are organized by the families not by the grouping of image types. Maybe it sounds silly, but I feel like I'm honoring the scrapbook maker and keeping their collection in tact for at least another generation.
Enough of that for now, I'll provide more insights on my Vintage Greeting Cards Images and CDs and Cut Outs in the future.
So to kick off my newly updated blog and get it off to a great start, I've decided to have an Image give away. Just right click on the following image and save it on your PC. Use it for creating scrapbook pages, greeting cards, fabric transfers, decoupage or any other kind of craft project you may be working on. Have fun and if you're so inclined, leave a comment to encourage me to keep on updating!
Take care and I hope you have a great day full of smiles!

OOOOOO...this image is beautiful! LOVE it!!! Thanks Peggy!! And I think it's awesome that you keep the scrapbooks intact, and it doesn't sound silly to me at all. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteHow cute!!!!!! I love it! Thank you so much for sharing such a cute little snowman.
ReplyDeleteI just love vintage (probably cuz I'm a little "vintage" myself...LOL). I have a darling card made by Sharon Caudle where she used one of your sweet girls.
And I agree with Sharon........it's not silly at all to keep the scrapbooks exactly like the originator intended.
Thank you again for giving such a sweet gift!

ReplyDeleteLove the card, it really reminds me of winters back home in chicago. Thanks for the free image. Will be back to see what is new.
ReplyDeleteI think it's amazing what you do with the scrapbooks! I hope if something like that ever becomes of my own hard work someone would do for mine as you have done. I am new to the vintage graphic thing but I can tell you it sure gets addicting fast! I love that snowman and thank you for allowing me to use him!

ReplyDeleteI love your philosophy of keeping the albums/scrapbooks together on your CDs...as a lover of doing family history work, families should ALWAYS be together--just makes sense, doesn't it?!
