I'm STUCK on YOU!

These are some 1930-1940's vintage stickers I just "happened upon" that had been tucked away in my Grandmother's and then my Mother's things!
Used most likely to place on the back of an envelope to make a "seal".

These 30 somethin' love held up pretty well, don't you think?
Kind of like the sweet couple I met last night, they had been married 66 years!!
I'm pretty sure that deserves a Nobel Prize...or Lottery winning...or
a huge Crown or something!Posted by Picasa

Vintage card-calendar! from Crafty Secrets and Michele Kovack!

I LOVED what Michele Kovack did with her calendar-cards! The vintage valentine's came from "Blue Bird" blog spot! I LOVE all of her examples she has.

Crafty Secrets had a FREE download for 2011 calendar.....sooooo...this is my version on Michele's, Crafty Secret and Blue Birds examples all rolled into one...or rather...two! Of note...I made the rosettes from some annoying junk mail, then sprayed with Glimmer mist from Tattered Angels (luv their stuff too!!) I love to recycle...just about anything!

There's no telling how old this jingle bell is...seems I've had it for ever! 'Bout time it had a place of its' own! ;)

More Vintage Photos!

Another attempt at colorizing 1920's black and white
after scanning in the original photo, of course!.
I loved being able to use the lace tatting from my Grandmother's stash. (after I washed and whitened them...of course!)
The three bottom buttons are probably 40's-50's edition. The top three are another story. Taken from the same tatting stash (and whitened, O.C.) the very top button I'm pretty sure is more 1920's, I had to put it on top!

couldn't make up my mind which photo was better. Too light...too dark?

Posted by PicasaI really went crazy this year!!

She's got A T T I T U D E!

I had fun doing this layout. I "scrap lifted" it from one of the sketches on Jenny Bolin's inspiration blog! Molly {my subject} is not hard to photo...as long as you only want ONE look! She's 18 yrs old {which makes her...what?...140 in people years} She can't hear, sleeps all the time and her look? Always the same..." Go A Way!" ;')

and now a little break from Angel as she...ah hem...checks out the fringe on my lamp!
