Easter Cards from Antique Postcards

A couple last cards I'll have for sale at Spring City Vintage in Colfax this Saturday.  Two Easter cards made with pieces from antique postcards. Surprisingly, Easter used to be a big holiday for sending cards. Now, not so much. We'll see if I have any interested buyers.

Collage Card from Antique Postcards

Another card pieced together from antique postcards. This time I used the back of a card so you could see the postmark--1911!!! I added some pieced cut from other postcards and a Happy Birthday sentiment also from an old postcard. This is another card I'll be putting up for sale at Spring City Vintage in Colfax, which is open this Saturday, March 14.

 

More Cards from Antique Postcards

I made a few more cards to sell in Spring City Vintage in Colfax from antique postcards and other ephemera.  Here's a closer look:

I scanned this old snapshot into my computer and printed it larger for the card. It really scanned well. I'm sure I'll be using this "hula girl" often.

I scanned and enlarged this photo too, but it came from an antique postcard. It makes a great friendship card.

Vintage Vacation Scrapbook Page

I made this page to resemble a classic scrapbook from the early 1900s.  The background paper is from the CTMH Notebook B&T paper pack, and the paper across the bottom and in the right-hand corner are from Vintage Travel.  I printed the two photos in sepia to look more authentic.  The two postcards near the bottom of the page are actual early 1900s postcards.  The CTMH stamp sets used are:  Stocking Style ("Orange Beach, New Orleans"), Save the Date ("2010 Vacation"), Express Postage ("Enjoy the Journey"), Moments in Time (small January calendar), Make It Count (clock), Star Power (wings), and Vintage Post Card (postcard).

New Orleans Scrapbook Pages with Felicity

Here is my first layout for my vacation scrapbook.  I used the Felicity paper pack, which I think works great for the "feel" of New Orleans.  I also used dimensional elements that I colored with ink, the Vintage Postcard stamp set, buttons, lots of pearls, and some nonCTMH flowers and punch.
