Vintage Children's Birthday Greeting Card Images Volume 2

Hi Everyone!
I sure hope you've had a great week so far! It's been pretty good here. I've complained so much about the weather that I must say that it's been absolutely gorgeous here! Not too hot, very little humidity... just wonderful!

I've been busy finishing up the Children's Birthday Volume 2 CD and I'm so happy to report that it's all finished. I had a lot of fun with this CD. The cards date from 1924 to 1966. There's number cards for ages 1 to 8, a few cards for family members - son, daughter, grandson, aunt and niece. You'll find boys and girls and teenagers, puppies and kittens, cowboys and Indians and fireman, sorry I'm late and even a few party invitations. I hope you love the finished product as much as I do.



You can purchase the CD by clicking here for ebay and here for etsy

Here's some samples of great cards made by the wonderful and talented Divas in the DT. Aren't they just the cutest? If you double click on one of them, you'll be taken to the Designers folder where you can see additional cards that they've created. Want to visit their blogs - just click on their names over there in the right side bar.





Did you have a great Labor Day weekend? We sure did although it was rather busy. We had a Wedding and a Hog Roast we had to attend. The weather was gorgeous and everyone had a good time. Of course, they were prime picture events and proud grandma just has to share :)

Aren't they just the cutest!



At the hog roast, it was a little chilly for swimming but Jordan just couldn't resist. She was freezing when she got out. But, she wasn't cold enough to resist a blueberry slurpy which resulted in a blue tongue. Don't you just love the wonderful outfit - a winter coat and a bathing suit - what a combination!




And last but not least, Kaiden's first day of pre-k. He was sooooooooo excited! Isn't he a handsome little stud muffin.





Have a great week, plumb full of smiles!

A Fresh Start and a Free Vintage Greeting Card Image

Everybody needs a fresh start once in a while, so here's mine. I started this blog quite a while back but quite honestly didn't really keep up with it. It seemed like there was never enough time to get an entry into the blog. Well, I've made a resolution to make sure I update it at least once a week.(smile) I have some big plans for the future so be sure to check in and see what the future holds.

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!
Peggy
